That would be Jan 7, 2008. I'd say you have a really "young" baby there.

Here's a linky to another post I made on the topic. Words direct from SA themselves on their serial numbering process.

Date of manufacture

no. you didn't come across as rude. It was just a complete, simple answer that saved me a lot of figurin'.

Yep, most places are either day/month/year or year/month/day, it's only in the USA that we have month/day/year. OTH, the USM uses day/month/year and of course 24 hour time.

My particular XD is dated in January of 2008 as well -- I purchased in mid April so it was about 3 months from test fire to purchase.

Just picked up my 9mm Tactical:

SN US873***
Test fired on Jan 31 2008 by Zivcic T. with a 'NNY' round.

edit: I just saw in one of the prior posts that the serial numbers dont have a connection to the production date...so...never mind
