Cleaning after shooting or do it only Once or twice a year?

[remington79]

I voted for after each shooting. That way everything is clean and good to go. It also give you a chance to check your firearm to make sure noting is amiss. However, I also will clean all of my firearms even if they haven't been shot at least once a year. My carry pistol gets cleaned one to two times a month. Lint and dirt can easily build up from being carried every day. Every copuple of months I will take apart my carry mags and clean them out to. You'd be amazed where dust, lint, and even dog hair end up.
