So, you may need to just reoil just part of the gun if it sits there a while...

Personally, I don't go for this. All of my guns are potentially self defense guns. I wanna keep them clean, and good to go at any time. So, I clean them right away. I know they can go many hundreds of rounds or more in 1 day if need be. But when the day is up - I look at it as a "reset" to make sure all continues well from that point on....
I agree with this too, I am the same way. My carry gun gets a quick cleaning and oiling every week or two even if it hasn't been fired, just to keep it in good shape and reliable. I'm the same way with maintaining my vehicles, I take the best care of them that I can! When I buy something I want it to last a long time, no matter what it is!
