The Smith & Wesson Sigma SW380 is a budget-friendly micro-compact pistol, originally designed as a Glock clone. Despite its major brand origin, it features a cheap cast zinc slide and a unique, difficult-to-use magazine release. Its durability is limited to an estimated 3,000 rounds, making it a questionable choice for frequent use, though acceptable as a deep concealment or backup firearm.

This guide details the custom modifications made to a Smith & Wesson Model 39 to create the ASP 9mm pocket pistol, a pioneering concealed carry firearm from the 1970s. The process involves significant metalwork, including shortening the slide and barrel, bobbing the hammer, and dehorning the entire pistol for snag-free carry. The ASP's unique features, like clear grips and a windowed magazine, were revolutionary for their time and paved the way for modern compact 9mm handguns.
