Somewhere I read that after 0001-9999, the "A" was added on for the next 9,999 guns. There is no way to know the issue date, they probably just gave them out in the order they received them from S&W and were stacked up on the armorer's shelf. I am sure some numbers like CHP0001 and CHP1929 (the year CHP is formed) were set aside and won't be seen on the market.
