I clean the frame with a tooth brush and some CLP. The slide, barrel, and spring I run through a parts cleaner (transmission fluid), it takes 5 seconds. Wipe down and done.
This of course doesnt include cleaning inside the barrel. Some Hopes9 a bore brush and some patches. All in all it takes me about 5 min and I do it when I feel it needs it. So that could be once a year or once every 3 moths. I also dont clean after every range trip.
