Welcome to the forum.
AJJ should come from somewhere between Jan. 1986 and July 1987. The book does not get more specific than that.
What model gun is it?

Model 686 6"

The guy that has it was stating 1984 to 1985 range.

What about an AUU0633...I was also told this would be in the 1984 to 1985 range by a different feller.

Same Model.

I can tell you my first duty sidearm was a 4" 686 #AEJxxxx issued to me on March 1st, 1985 and it was new at that time (I'm guessing manufactured in 1984).

A fantastic revolver I will say and a tack-driver. To this day I swear by the 686 and have a 3" that gets LOTS of CCW holster time. It's S&W's "Goldilocks" .357 IMHO

Post 5,
The SCSW doesn't specifically show info on an HXW prefix.
HXW is likely a S&W semiauto pistol.
This thread and sub-forum is for 1980 or newer S&W revolvers.

If your HXW s/n'd pistol is an M&P model, there's a specific sub-forum for those here:
