    Is there a general guideline on when a firearm should be taken in to a gunsmith for a thorough inspection and maintenance? After 25K rounds?, 50K rounds?. I do clean my SIG P225 after firing about 300 rounds.

    All replies are appreciated.

    When it has issues.

    I don't clean my firearms very often, except to wipe down the exterior after handling.

    And I don't mess with them if they are working fine.

    At 20,000 I plan on sending anything I have to a respected gunsmith for a complete overhaul and Cerakote. Others will disagree with complete passion, I might add.
