Is there any differenence in a USP 40 date code AC & USP 40 date code AF?  
The gun shop has S/N AC date code for about 60 dollar cheaper.

The USP40 with the AC date code was made in 2002.

The USP40 with the AF date code was made in 2005.

So if you are wanting the newer one just pay the extra $60.00, if you want to save that $60.00 and use it for night sight's or extra stuff for it or some ammo then get the one that is three year's older.

I have a 1995 USP45F that I got used and it is still running great with no problem's, so only you can decide on what you want to do and which one to get.

Does the 2002 have the same updates as the 2005 ??

The only changes made since 2000 that I know of have been to the match trigger kit.  Otherwise a 2000 is the same as the 2006.  The last major change that I recall was the lanyard loop lock out done in 2000.

+1 on what Big-Bore said, the only change's I have seen are the one's stated, so feel free to get which everone you want and you will be happy either way.

Just got this information from another site.



There are updates to the new AF (2005) .40 and 9mm full size USPs.
Most notably an improved firing pin and firing pin safety to eliminate breakage.
The new pistols are readily identified by a small 'js' next to the 'HK' on the slide.
I don't think there have been any other important upgrades since the switch from land and groove to polygonal rifling and to captured guide rods back in the mid eighties.

Ok then go get the AF date code USP, that way you will be getting a newer one with the up grade's to it.

Let see the pics of old firing pin vs the new firing pin.
