shooter.45,
I use a SpyderCo knife sharpening kit. Has two grades of sharpening sticks, but I only use the medium/gray ones... Fast, easy, efficient. If your .45 jams, your knife may save your bacon. Always keep it sharp enough to perform with the finest edges you can... Though my SA XD-40 Tacticals are my primary sidearms, for too close/but quiet, I prefer a VERY sharp edge... Knives for back-up, but should NEVER be second rate...
Regards and Respects,
Carter, oldpaladin, out...
