M Mike Irwin Staff Jan 19, 2002 #2 Those are called engineering change numbes. That signifies some major change in the design at a point in the gun's life. They also serve to give you a rough date of manufacture, as in after X, and before X.

M Mike Irwin Staff Jan 19, 2002 #4 "so it's just serial# catagories?" Clown, I'm not exactly certain what you mean by that question. Can you rephrase it, or expand on it a little bit, and hopefully I'll be able to answer you.

T Trsnrtr New member Jan 19, 2002 #7 The suffix indicates modifications. The 629-3 came about in 1990 and the 4th mod was in 1994. The 29-5 also first appeared in 1990 and the 29-6 in 1994. Evidently, both guns were made between 1990 and 1994.
