S&W M&P 40, .40 cal. Always swab out the barrel, breach, and magazine well. Then spray down all parts with a good gun oil. (I like Rem Oil) Full break down and clean every 2-4 months.
Ruger Security Six. .357 mag. Got to love a revolver! Takes about 5 minutes for a full clean!
S&W Model 36, .38 spl. Early 70s pistol, carried every day, so I wipe it down and oil it every 2-3 weeks.
Always keep a can of good gun oil handy, if you don't have time to clean, spray down the entire weapon, inside the barrel, breach, mag well, all moving parts, it will protect the firearm and make cleaning easier when you finally get around to it!
After shooting I typically clean the barrel when I get home. Then light amount of oil...not too much that it attacks dirt.
After it starts getting dirty (3, 4, 5, 8? times shooting)...I do a complete tear down and clean...
You use a spray oil? Mine is drops...Do you spray everything? Wipe it all back off? Do you ever clean your gun after it's been sitting even thought it hasn't been shot since you cleaned it last? After a great clean I found like 2 months later the inside of the barrel was covered in green and I cleaned it again.... with a single swab....too much oil? leftover hops no 9? It was easy to remove but concerned me...
I'll have to get a spray can of oil to cover them with.....does it help to spray them in the field and then clean when I get home? If you are camping and shooting multiple days....do you clean in the field?
Any soldiers in the military here that sleep with their guns and clean them constantly with additional advice?

If I could only own one gun, it would be a 22 competition rifle. They are quite, fun to shoot, accurate, basically no recoil....just a blast. Plus nobody could ever say it's a people killing gun or something silly like that.
