OK.  How often do you normally clean your guns?  Not when breaking in, but after.

May not be the same day after a range trip, but within 48 hours, the "girls" don't like being dirty too long,... ::)

OK, the M+P is a dirty girl, and can take it..... ;)

I like dirty guns. The dirtier the better. It means they've really been loved. I do keep my Rem 700 VSSF .308 clean though. I clean it at the range when I'm done shooting, then fire 1 or 2 rounds to make sure zero hasn't changed. I clean my 1911's when they start to slow down. Take a screwdriver, knock out the chunks, add some oil and we're good to go. All the gunk helps keep the gun from drying out.  ;)

The only time I will completely disassemble and clean a gun is if I'm doing something to it and don't have any other choice.  ;D

I'm doing okay. Sort of. Better than I was last month. I'm ready to do some shooting soon. I keep forgetting my Dunk-Kit from C&S. Just throw a dirty gun in thr bucket and let it soak overnight. Then brush off with a tooth brush and wipe it dry. That's all. I haven't given it a good workout yet but it seems to work as advertised. http://www.cylinder-slide.com/dunkkitart.shtml
