This review delves into the literary James Bond's ASP 9mm pistol, a custom Smith & Wesson Model 39 modified by Paris Theodore. Key features include transparent Lexan grips, a 'Guttersnipe' sight, and 'melted' edges for concealed carry. While a premier 1980s custom pistol, range testing revealed potential reliability issues when dry, though performance improved with lubrication.

The ASP was a groundbreaking 1970s subcompact 9mm pistol, a custom modification of the Smith & Wesson Model 39. It featured innovative design elements like 'Guttersnipe' sights, clear Lexan grips, and a skeletonized magazine for deep concealment. Originally bespoke, it later saw more standardized production. While advanced for its time, modern subcompacts now offer comparable performance.
