What's the deal with the "fired casing" that comes with NIB USP45?  

Is this a form of firearm figerprinting?

I was looking at a USP45 this afternoon; the dealer told me the "fired casing" will be sent to LE office when someone buys the pistol.  Huh???

Thanks in advance.

Some states (NY, MD) require the manufacturer to send fired cases off to their lab for cataloging (ballistic fingerprinting).

Some states do most don't.. If you buy a gun and it has the case with it then you have it not the state.. It also shows that the gun was tested and worked when it left the factory. Every new HK and Sig I have bought have had one with it. And my Sigs have the target that was shot by it as well.

ALL guns are test fired at the factory, sir. Well, at least the ones that cost over $50, anyways. Why do you think all new guns have dirty bores & breech faces?
