I've carried Glocks for many years now and shot each of them in matches without any failures due to the gun. I limp wristed one once when switching to off hand and the case didn't fully eject. Cleared easily, continued, and finished the stage. Prior to each match the only prep that was done was to pull the slide back and put put a drop of lube on each rail. It probably didn't need it, but I do that with every gun (shotgun or rifle) before a match.

I wipe them, you know, like with a cloth, maybe once a quarter. Completely strip them down once or twice a year depending on the amount of shooting they've seen. The last couple of years, though, its only been once a year. :grumble

I don't even clean the Glocks after every match or range session. Maybe every second or third time. That might be after roughly 500 rounds. I'll shoot between 100-200 rounds each session.
I know my Glock can do 1,700 rounds because I've done that in two days at a class. Same with my S&W AR15. Which is purposely didn't clean them, just to see. However I can see no good reason to not clean them after every range trip. If I was going once or twice a week I can see why I wouldn't want to. Going every couple of months though, makes for a good time to clear lint and dust out of them.

Re: EDC Gun Maintenance

Like most of us I clean after every range trip. While those don't occur as often as I would like, it is still enough. I take out from holster and wipe down with a silicone cloth at the end of the day. I used to not do that, and ended up with a small rust spot on the slide. Nipped that in the bud, but it did cause me to start wiping it down daily.
