Otherwise I think it's more hype than necessity for most of us.

That may be true, with a newly cleaned gun, but anyone who has shot LOTS of rounds between cleanings knows that a dirty gun jams more, and who is to say that isnt due to slightly oversize ammo that works fine in a clean chamber, but starts to hang up when things get dirty?
In any case I always live my life by the "better safe than sorry" rule (as should all gun owners
)... the $20 a FCD costs me factored out over thousands of rounds amounts to an infinitesimally small amount of $$. OTOH, a jam due to oversize ammo combined with a dirty chamber when I am out plinking and get jumped by a rabid coyote at the end of the session, is not good....
Of course the chances are infinitesimally small,
but thats what "better safe than sorry" is all about.....
