When do you clean a gun? After every use, of course. Fits the whole "I wipe my backside every time I crap" vibe. While the Glock is arguably one of the best designed, more durable, most heavily tested pistols on the planet... it still needs a little TLC simply because it is an autoloading handgun that utilizes a magazine. Cleaning the gun after each use prevents the heavy accumulation of carbon anyway, making the immediate cleaning quicker and immensely easier than cleaning it once every five range trips.
I use standard FMJ ammunition available at any gun shop, Wal-Mart, K-Mart. Avoid using solid lead ammunition (reloads) in Glocks due to the rifling. The Glock will digest any commercial ammunition you put through it. Avoid steel and aluminum cased rounds. Avoid a heavy diet of +P rounds.
