HOWEVER, it's important to understand that the supply chain can be slow at times and it is certainly possible for a gun to be purchased new long after it has been discontinued. I've done it myself. I bought a brand-new Beretta 86 some years after Beretta stopped making them. I happened to run across one at a local shop.
So, if the gun was made near the end of production and sat on the shelf at a distributor for awhile, then on a local gun store shelf for awhile, it could have easily sold new in 2010 or 2011 or even later.
