If it is a S&W, you can look in the Standard Catalog of S&W. Often abbreviated here as the SCSW.
If you don’t have one, you can post your S&W pistol model and dash number, along with the SN here and someone will be along that has the SCSW and they can tell you.
I would not give the last 3 of the SN. Not needed for dating.

Colt's web site has a place for submitting a serial number to get the date of manufacture.
What pistols?

If you have a S&W revolver made from 1980 to Present, you can go to the correct Forum and there will be a thread at the top of the page where a member will tell you the approximate ship date. Usually, to within a month or so.
The serial number lists will give manufacture date, not ship date. Guns can sit in the S&W vault for years before being shipped.
The only way I know of to get ship dates is by asking Roy Jinks or getting a factory letter.
