If I fire the weapon--even a few times--I will field strip and at least clean the chamber with brush and patch(paper towel or scrap cloth)and then wipe off the breech face and wipe off the barrel with whatever cloth is available. Next I'll lightly lube--maybe with a Q-tip--contact points. Before assembly, I'll eyeball the extractor to check for foreign matter, quickly inspect the receiver, put it together and go about my business. It goes without saying that I wiped down the outside to remove finger prints and powder residue. Taking my time, I'll spend no more than 10 minutes. An extended range session dictates thorough cleaning.
