OK guys make up my mind now.from what i can tell they started making the 13-1 in 74 so i'm guessing diamondback is right.these things sure are addicting.I've been a fan of the black plastic for about 6 years now ,then i got a 340m&p and now i cant stop also a 60 pro series. These things are like really expensive potato chips!

Diamondback, you are correct. I was not looking at the number of digits..
