How often do you clean your CCW?

I clean after each range visit but if I don't make it to the range in a month I'll break it down and clean it. Even more so during the winter months.

So far I have only cleaned it after use. I should probably at least pull it apart quarterly I would think.

I clean all my guns after each range visit... I check the bore for obstructions everyday, but don't clean it unless I discharge it. If I saw a lint ball in the barrel I'd run a swab thru it, but i see no reason to tear it down and clean it otherwise.

Definitely after a range visit. Otherwise, I try to do it every couple weeks or so, but have gone as long as a month. I've recovered enough lint from the bottom of my mag to knit a sweater. I want to make sure that stuff isn't getting inside the gun.

Winter was mentioned. I do it more often during the hot months. Sweat and humidity make me want to coat things in oil more, so they don't rust.
