I recently bought a used HK USP40 and was wondering about manafacturing date. Serial # is 22-35xxx. Initial of KE is also on pistol. Another forum said made in 1994 but I think this is incorrect. Anybody help me out on this? I may have to call HK to find out but I have little time during day hours and prefer not be left on hold while paying long distance.(yeah I know I'm cheap) Besides I know one of the experts can help me out here. Thanks, Dandy

    It's as follows.

    Letters A-K, J is skipped. A=0,B=1,C=2...K=9, etc.

    IG=86 or 1986
    ID=83 or 1983
    KA=90 or 1990

    So your date code of KE is 94 ...

    My SR9T is coded KD which makes it a '93, I also have the HK Tactical, HK SL8 and USC, all bought in 1999 and the codes are "KK" on all 3!

    =================================
    The only bad thing about choosing a Kimber ...
    ... there are so darn many models to choose from!

    If you really desire something, you'll find a way ?
    ? otherwise, you'll find an excuse.
