Every time I unchamber a round it goes down in the magazine a few bullets. I double check them before putting them back in.

I clean my gun every time I shoot it (I try to shoot once a month).. I also think not cleaning what your carrying around because it SHOULD fire 500000000+ rounds before a failure is silly.

Having a clean fire arm is one part (of a very crazy equation) that YOU can control. Cleaning also makes your more familiar with the gun.

And I personally just like taking things apart and putting them back together.
