There's really no need to go crazy on gun cleaning.
I used to clean for hours to ensure the gun was completely free of carbon and filth (Marine Corp training).
Now, the barrel gets 3 passes with the bore brush, followed by some wet/dry patches, some plastic brushing, a wipe down, and the cleaning is done. Lube and re-assemble.
It's not because I've become lazy, but that I've realized excessive cleaning is not necessary.
BTW, good choice on your first gun; I love my SigPro 2340.
