DXE03xx

Looking at these dates I'm actually impressed they were able to keep the Shield under wraps as long as they did. They must have been setting up for some time and making the first batches in January - or even December? I think we only started seeing the rumor threads in March, looking at "something" coming out 4/12.

It looks like the oldest test-fired cases were 1/12/12 unless I missed a date.

What's amazing is the one being test fired on the day of release and yet you have it in your hands already, less than ten days out.

crracer 12, we wondered about that too. The lady at the store told us they had them ordered and they had just come in and we were the second ones in the shop today. Lucky for us the first guy was looking for a glock 26. tbird

Bought it dirty as could be! It'll be a good 3K before I clean it anyway.
I like the fact they actually tested it before shipping!

This seems to be the earliest date on this thread, so far. Guy at GS said that they sell them as quick as they get them, so is not one that has been on the shelf for a month or when ever they first shipped.
Wonder if they make 0000-9999 with each three letter combo in the beginning. Would be interesting to know how long they have been in actual production. Until we get many more posts on here, we wont know. Someone needs to do a spread sheet on the listed ones on here. So far highest 4 digit number was in 31XX range.
