Everyone I need some advice. The dealer in my area has a .40 cal USP compact for sale. Asking price is $550. The gun looks to be in good condition, comes with 2 10-round magazines and a HK case. No manual or accessories. The Date code on the left side is AC which if I'm correct indicates a production date of 2002. Is that too old to purchase? Should I be getting more of a discount due to the guns age? Let me know, any advice would be greatly appreciated. BTW I already put down 100 bucks to hold the gun until I get you guy's advice! Thanks.

did you have to post in two forums?...

the gun really isn't THAT old. I think you're probably getting a pretty good deal as it is.

Was just anxious is all cripplepidgeon! Thanks for the reply. Hey also are there any differences in the types of barrels used in the USP after certain manufacture dates? I seem to remember reading about polygnal barrels or something like that? I have been seeing in this forum .40cal compact USP's for around $600 which is only $50 less than the asking price at this dealer and those come with 12 round magazines. So 2002 is not considered an "old" gun. And how much of a depreciation is there on a 5 going on 6year old HK compact? The brand new list price is $729 right now.

I paid $500 on a 15 year old USP if that makes any difference, It runs just fine. Guns don't exactly "age" they get abused.

I have an night sighted and LEM version that's unfired and suppressed if you're interested. Will separate if truly interested.

Love the 40. I have two others, one of which is my duty weapon.
