I started out, being new to handguns in general, and an overall tech geek, cleaning each time I shot it, each time it got a fingerprint on it.... yeah, a bit excessive.
Now I clean it after every 250 rds or so or a day shooting with the local USPSA group here. Only things that seem to really need it are the mags, if I had to drop one in the sand, or the feed ramp.
Enjoy it, it's a great gun!
