The ASP: An Early Subcompact 9mm for Sneaky People
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.
