I shoot my 1911 until it gets gummy. However long that takes. Then I clean it with rubbing alcohol or something that will take the 'gum' off. Then I lightly oil the slide rails. After that I wipe it off. I run my 1911 dry .. as dry as I can get it by wiping any lube out of it. You don't get it all, as has been said. The little amount left works.

I like my 1911 to be loose enough that it works in dust and dirt and sand and if bloody or wet with water. It's not a target gun.
