I believe that the last poll I saw there showed that most of the top shooters cleaned their guns every couple of thousand rounds, or just before a big match.

I don't qualify as a top shooter, especially when a name like Brian Enos is floating around, but I have shot Bullseye competitions for a few decades and I agree absolutely. I clean my Walther GSP once a year, shortly before the indoor League matches start in October. S&W 41s are a bit more sensitive and need to be cleaned more often to avoid FTFs, but even there the interval is hundreds of rounds or more. After cleaning, I wouldn't dream of using a gun in competition until I'd put a hundred rounds or so downrange.
Back to the OP's original comments, whenever I read someone claiming that "it went off while I was cleaning it" I just assume that means they were playing dumbass games and had an ND.
