I was wondering how in depth of a cleaning do you give your guns after shooting. Particularly, older revolvers. Do you completely break them down after each session or maybe just the barrel and cylinder for a couple times?

When All Else Fails.
Are you referring to black powder, cap-n-ball, revolvers?

no, just normal, not antique. 1964 Police Positive Special 38 special, 1966 Colt Trooper 357 magnum, 1936 Official Police 38 special.

Ive been totally breaking them down. Cleaning and oiling but I've noticed that I may not need to . Although, I get to inspect the parts and see them, the inner mechanisms do not seem to be getting very dirty. Do you go by number of rounds through or just by feel?

Clean them the same as any other make...remove the stocks first. You don't need to remove the side plate to clean the piece unless it's really gunked up...and even then you can spray an aerosol gun cleaner into the workings and allow it to drip out. I have many Colt revolvers and there's nothing magical about maintaining them.
