My OCD has been kicking in, and I just have to ask, is it normal for the pocket clip to move side to side with some pressure? I can position the clip over the middle stand off, or over the LBS. This is on an XM-18 3.5".
 
It sits in a pocket and none of mine have ever wiggled. Try gently tightening the screws. Or remove the screws, assure no dirt/debis anywhere and reinstall.

Tighten your screws.
 
None of mine wiggle. Had a standoff rattle once but ended up being a loose screw. Maybe email Rob.
 
I have no idea what to tell you without seeing it. The clip sits down in a pocket, and with tight screws how could it wiggle? Unless you are pushing so hard you are flexing the clip. Toss a video up here or email a video to me directly.
 
I had that happen to me once last year...I went to a Five Finger Death Punch concert and realized I had my slicer in my pocket after I'd already waited in line for a while. So I casually pulled it out and slid it down in my shoe since they were only doing pat downs. Made it through and went to the bathroom and put it back up in my pocket...concealed of course then proceeded to horns in the air! As I enjoyed the show with my friends....I noticed my pocket clip was wiggling in my pants. I pulled it out and it was still wiggling...I thought what the hell.... and finished my double ketal one and red bull. Then it came to me....the music stopped and so did the wiggling!

Are you sure that when you've observed this wiggling that your not....
A. Drinking....caused I am as I right this
B. At a Five Finger Death Punch Concert
Or
C. Went to a concert last night...drank a lot...and today can't hear crap but high pitch ringing and its just your hands doing the wiggling?

OK...I kid....cheers fellas!

Both screws are pretty tight with no dirt or debris in them.

Dirt/debris "in" a screw???? Huh? :confused:

More likely in the threaded hole(s) that receives the screw(s) or even more likely in the pocket that receives the clip base.

Here's the deal...with force you might be able to flex the clip a bit but it returns to true...you can flex the clip on a Bic pen too btw. It's a piece of metal secured on one end, with force on the opposing end it can be forced to flex slightly.

But all that said...you said "wiggle(s)". XM clips are not a children's signing group form Australia.

Double post.

Happens often on this Website. Server errors, Database errors, slow loading pages...attempts to double post. I never panic, when it gets hung up, I just wait for it to do its thing. Most often I get the message saying I cannot post twice in such a short period of time.

Nice! They are half of my workout playlist..
 
Mine to! Fights good so far...disappointed in my man Louzan...always been a fan but he didn't bring it!
 
I wonder why my clip doesn't wiggle at country music concerts? Maybe the Florida Georgia line show in a few weeks will make it pop loose.
 
Is the pocket that the clip fits into too big, allowing the clip base to wiggle? Even if that were the case, tight screws would keep the clip from moving. I examined mine and just can't see how it is happening. Unless the diameter of the screws is too small.
