Field strip it
I've been told you can remove the grips brush out the barrell and hit it with a cleaner then relude it without breaking the gun all the way down.
Not a good solution. Field stripping takes about 1 minute, and there are parts of the gun that you can't access if you don't field strip it. For instance, when are you going to clean and re-lube the rails? When are you going to lube the bushing to slide fit, and the barrel to bushing fit? When are you going to lube the barrel lugs and the barrel link? The guide-rod and spring? None of those parts can be accessed without field stripping, and they all require regular maintenance.
