Everyone has there own thing. As long as your cleaning your on the right path.
Only me personally, but I dislike grease. I've bought Rigs gun grease and a Lucas grease. If I'm reloading some powder puff loads I noticed if I used grease it would slow the action and on some occasions wouldn't cycle a proven good load. Cleaning, then using my standby break free clp or Lucas gun oil the firearm returned to what I considered normal function.
I shoot every Saturday and maybe every other Thursday. I clean each firearm a shoot once a week. It is possible that on Thursday a dirty gun goes to the range.
I do a wipe down with a dry old towel, qtip areas harder to reach. Then some hoppes 9 bristled down the bore. Nylon toothbrush with break free clp in all the areas. Then wipe down with dry cloth and qtips again.
Go back to barrel and jag some patches through. Once pretty clean I oil a patch with clp and push it through twice. Then two more dry patches. Use a needle applicator for either the clp or Lucas gun oil for slide rails and contact points. Wipe down magazines and followers.
About monthly all range pistols get a full clean, spray out with gun scrubber synthetic safe, then compressed air, followed by a nice coating of clp. Same with the magazines.
