If you tighten the screw on the side near the auto lock, it may help with the wiggle. Just don't tighten it too much, then your XD will be stuck.

Well, of course I could hit the target with it, but if my intent is to hit the target with it,
I'd be better off using a baseball! and some people call ME a dufus.... (sarcasm off  )

Oh I see, the nut on the back of that screw was spinning, now I get it.
Hehe, I can make this a crossdraw holster. Not that I would want to, but I can.

OK, please allow me to rephrase....
The most important thing is to successfully defend yourself and those about you in a legally appropriate manner with the tools that you have available to you during a crisis. 
I do like the scene in one of the Indiana Jones movies where Indi does bring a gun to a sword fight!

You're too close. If your camera has the setting you need to set it to macro mode when it's less than 3ish feet from the target. And super macro if it's less than 10 inches.

Yeah, I couldn't find any better settings on my camera. It's just a NIkon coolpix.
Thanks, I think it looks pretty good too.

He may have used another method, but I've read that using a crayon will produce very nice results. Just rub the crayon in the markings.

That's what I did, but now that I know I like the color, I'm going to make it a little more permanent.
And with the crayon it's actually best to melt it into the lettering, that way you don't get air bubbles in it, which could look like crap.
Anyway, if you want to do it permanently, you know after you've tried with crayon and you decide that you like it, use nail polish.
As far as XDs though, only do that one if you have a Melonite finish, as the older Bruniral finish may be harmed by the nail polish remover you will have to use. You can call Springfield Armory and they will tell you which one you have.
Anyway fill in the letters with the nail polish, try to get as little elsewhere as possible, and let the first coat dry. If it is filled up enough then you can take a piece of newspaper or printer paper, and put nail polish remover on it, and wip it flat accross your lettering. Don't push hard on it, use just enough pressure to remove the nail polish outside the letters.
Don't use a rag. It will pull the coloring out of the lettering.
But anyway that's how it works.
And credit for this knowledge goes to Outsider. I saw him on the fourth and he showed me his XD, on which he had already done the crayon.
