After each range trip I wipe down the inside of the slide and frame with a cloth, wipe off the exterior of the barrel (paying attention to the feed ramp), relube the barrel and locking block, and call it a day. Every few hundred rounds or so I get the bore brush out and clean the inside of the barrel. I only shoot FMJ so it tends to stay relatively clean.
As Walt said most people clean their firearms far more than they need to. I also worry about guns that won't go 100 rds or so between cleanings without having failures. If they do, I sell them.
