    We use paint markers at work to fill in text/engraving all the time. They come in many colors from MSC.
    http://www1.mscdirect.com/CGI/GSDRVSM?PMTYPE=KEY&SISMNO=8757188&SIPCNO=0002003287&SIZZNO=35116762&SIS0NO=1118381&SISHNO=0&SISRC=KG&SISRCH=1&SILEVL=3&SILSEQ=1&SIT4NO=60970567
    Here is how we do it.
    Fill in the engraving, by generously painting over the area. No need to only keep the paint in the engraving.
    Allow the paint to dry.
    Clean up the extra / over paint by applying lacquer thinner to a paper towel wrapped over something hard like a piece of wood. Simply hold the paper towel wrapped block flat against the engraved surface & rub the access paint off.
    I am not sure how the paint will hold up to cleaning solvents, but it should not be too hard to redo.

    XD among others...

    Played with a little paint after seeing Scutter01's work. Still need to do some clean up though, but wanted to share. :D

    I really want a 9mm xdm, and threads like this are not helping me resist the urge :(
    Do it. I have the Xdm40 and I love it. There are several options for upgrades on them already (barrels, trigger jobs, mag wells, mag extensions). If you get the 40, you can buy a 9mm conversion (don't know if it works the other way around).

    I have shot, and owned quit a few pistols. By far my XD has been my favorite. Next to my 92 after I installed hogue grips. I think I may stop by hobby lobby tomorrow to pick up some brushes. I have some colt site paint, and may do my lettering. Blue is my color, so that's probably what I'll go with. Or I may just do it with toothpicks. That way I'll have a smaller surface to apply it with.

    This thing lights up a room pretty well even from low ready. I'd still have a handheld as well and transition between the two as necessary.
