I chose every now and then.
I have a couple of Glocks that I carry, one as a primary and the other as a backup. I usually average about 50 rounds a week through my primary carry weapon, and I often go about 500 rounds between real cleanings (bore brush, patches, etc). I will de-lint them and wipe them down on a weekly basis though. It's amazing how much lint can build up in a bore.
I used to be very conscientious about cleaning after every time that I shoot, but I only really do that with my S&W revolvers and 1911s these days. I cringe to think of my Triple Lock staying dirty, but I'm not nearly as worried about my Glocks.
I agree.

mavracer said:I'll add that I actually have a phobia about carrying a gun after a detail strip, it gets a mag or cylinder run thru it first.
I agree.
