I shot a pair of Beretta A303s when I was an A class shooter and I am one of the few who can wear a Hugo Hake State Shoot buckle legitimately. I only cleaned them after the end of the season because the recoil impulse changes and that will mess with your head for a while if you clean it in mid season. So ya' either clean it every night, which you had to do w/every other auto back then, or you don't clean it until after the season.
