Without question, I do NOT own enough guns...

I've carried Glocks for many years now and shot each of them in matches without any failures due to the gun.

Not to be snarky but we all have guns that will go 1k or more rounds without cleaning. (even the 1911's) I clean my guns for the same reasons I shower, do laundry and wash the car... because they get dirty. People live, cars drive, clothes wear fine dirty, just as guns shoots dirty.

A dirty gun gets my clothes dirty and I wash after handling a fired gun for obvious health reasons. Lead, carbon and primer residue are not things I want in the daily laundry, on my hands or up against my skin, IWB. And yes, I wipe down tools that get oil grease and other crud on them for the same reasons.

I will clean any carry gun completely after any range session, before it gets carried again. now if I haven't shot it... I check it for lint around the hammer every time I take it off my belt... and blow it out about weekly. I'll pop the slide off and wipe or blow out lint and wipe off any oil that's migrated around and then put a fresh drop of oil on the rails... every 2-3 weeks.

I have duplicates of a couple of my EDC's so I can practice with what I carry and limit round count on my actual edc guns.

I run the chambered round or whole mag mag at the range session, just so I'm not re-chambering the same round(s) over and over, plus it's good to start with a Draw & 1-2 shot drill, cold, with carry ammo when at the range.
