$499 for a stainless compact is pretty damn good. Find out the date code and approximately how many rounds have been put through it. Then you'll know for sure if you have a bargain there or not.

The date code is based off of the SN isn't it?

 

[ironchef]

The date code is on the slide of the gun and is a two letter code. It usually starts with either a "K" or "A". K is a 90's gun. A is a 2000 gun. The following letter will date it exact to the year of production, for example KG = 1996, AE = 2004

find a way to get the money and buy it as long as it doesnt have a ton of wear. Great price.

You could have that slide bead blasted for $50 and it would look like new, or leave it as is. $499 for a USP in that condition is a 'dont pass on this' deal!

That sounds like a great price. I thought I got a good deal on the standard HE finish with night sights at $545.

Heck, it's a great gun anyway.

Very nice price on one wish I could find one around home for that. I can find the full sizes sometimes for that but not the compacts
