This seems like it needs a vote.

My carry guns get cleaned every time they're shot.

My range guns get the soot wiped off the feed ramp when I get home (no field strip; just lock back the slide), and get cleaned when they start to malfunction (usually well beyond 1000 rounds fired).

If one starts to get balky during a match; a little lube on the rails will set things right.

If I send more than a hundred rounds down range, then I'll pull the slide, and clean and lube the rails, interior slide surfaces, and barrel exterior. I'll also wipe down and oil the exterior.

If I only put a few magazines worth of ammo through it, then I'll wipe down the exterior and put it away.

The above tasks are done the same day as the range trip. If I know I'll be going back to the range in a few days, I have no problem wiping off the exteriors and putting them away. I may add some oil to the rails, but nothing more.

I only clean the bores and detail strip the slides occasionally. I only detail strip the frame for cleaning once a year or so.

Carry pistols get cleaned/lubed after every range trip. My primary HD AR also gets cleaned/lubed after every range trip.

If it's a rifle that I don't shoot very often, then I'll clean it completely the same day.

Just a fast one down the tubes, wipe it down with some oil . Keep it close to the recliner.
