thats just my opinion, and your guns.

My old mans Glock isn't a test. It wasn't cleaned because simply put, it did not HAVE to be cleaned. It really is that simple. No sense in "fixing something that isn't broken". You lube it up every now and then and that's it. People that clean their guns excessively SHOW in the condition of the gun. Wash your car too much, and you start wearing off the paint. Same idea. Over-cleaning often tends to be far worse than under-cleaning.
I do clean my guns (for the most part) rather regularly though, about every 1000 rounds. However, I do not think that the G17 pictured would be in "better condition". In fact, it would be in most likely, much worse condition. That's about as clean as you can get for ANY 20 year old, 40,000+round gun. Start looking around, and you will quickly realize that!
