I clean my guns after every range trip. Went to the range last week. I cleaned my 1911 45 after 150 rounds, my Uberti Cattleman & Outlaw 100 rounds each ,SR22 100 rounds. My Interarms Virginian Dragoon 100 rounds which has over 60,000 rounds through it. All handloads and still working on loads from 2018. I am old school, a clean gun last longer and shoots better than a dirty one. But it's JMHO.

Gun ownership can be a hobby and is for many of us. Part of that hobby is fondling your gun for fun and stripping it to play with it or get the dirty girl clean.

I would be interested in knowing how many car hobbyist wash their cars if they take it around the block or just for fun or change the oil after a few runs to the market.

I'm a car guy my 63 65 & 70 Vette's got washed after every use no matter around the block or a Friday night cruise. That carried me over to my work ethic owned a restoration shop Rods & Restorations that specializes in early model Vette's.
Ok so I'm a clean freak cars or guns they have to be clean JMHO.

Kinda suprised at a vintage car guy doin all that washin. A nice vintage ride, the less water you ever put on it, the better. Water makes rust. I know on a corvette the body is no problem, but the rest is metal.

Only if you don't dry them properly. Was in the business for many years never had any customers complain about rust on a Vette or any of the all metal ca rs worked on.
