Hey all,
I am checking out a few auctions on gunbroker, and I am after the Springfield XD 9mm Sub Compact. I want a recently made pistol with the new Melonite finish. Is there an easy way to determine if the gun has the new melonite finish by looking at it and if the listing doesn't list the date of manufacture? Can I grab the serial number and check with Springfield? Anyone done this before?

Thanks,
Steve
