I have typically not cleaned mine after every use (since every use only constitutes about 100 rounds) so instead I try to make sure I take it down and clean it every 500.
Do people think that's too long an interval?
I was so pissed at myself - put an idiot scratch on the 1911 the first time I cleaned it - even though I knew about the idiot scratch, I still did it. It wasn't super bad, but I was still ticked off at myself.

I do a basic cleaning pretty much after every trip. Mostly because I like tearing things apart and putting them back together. The AR always after every time because the last time I didn't, the BCG got caked up pretty good and ended up buying a replacement. Now just make sure it's got a nice saturation of oil all the time.
Longest I've gone in the SW 9mm was 400 rounds before cleaning, never had a misload/jam, and going on about 2k rounds through it now.
