Re: Slide has horizontal play
I would leave it alone. If you have NM barrel fit, almost all vertical and majority of horizontal play will come out. New barrel with good fitting bottom lugs will help out.
You are aiming off the slide:irons/optics. It only matters with a frame mount.
If you want to tighten it, get the Kuhnhausen book. Peening rails isn’t for the faint hearted. You’re beating that rail damn hard. It’s not a DIY gunsmithing that I recommend doing without the right tools and someone to teach you. The chances of screwing up are HIGH. You’re better off getting Accu-Rails.

Thanks it shoots 2 inch at 25. I have the shims to use in peening but haven't done in one in years. Thanks

It may not really help, but the rattle will go away. Use STP or grease on the slide/rails.

Wouldn't worry too much about the frame to slide fit as a bullseye gunsmith hard-fit barrel job would take care of that.
