If I cleaned handguns every time I shot during the summer, I would be doing it daily (sometimes 2-3 times a day on weekends).
I have a couple 10+ year old Marlin .22 rifles in the shop and house that are used for occassional varmint dispatching that have never been completely torn down for cleaning and only an occasional blast of guncleaner and air when they get gritty from the dirty .22lr ammo...... both still group within a couple of inches at 100 yards shooting cheap Walmart ammo off a benchrest.
I grew up in a rural setting and have owned/used guns since I was a little boy... I still have some of those guns and they all still function fine.
"Most" of my guns are daily tools to me and only get cleaned when they actually need it (if they get wet/dirty or the actions/triggers become gritty). That said..... I do have a couple of "pretty" guns that I keep spotless and oiled, but they live their lives in a case and are rarely used.
