This video explores the ASP, a custom subcompact 9mm pistol developed by Paris Theodore in the 1970s, based on the Smith & Wesson Model 39. Theodore was known for creating unique, James Bond-esque firearms. The ASP featured a shortened slide and grip, dehorned edges, and Theodore's signature 'guttersnipe' sights, optimized for fast, close-quarters shooting. The description notes that the ASP continued to be produced in Wisconsin after Theodore sold his business in the late 1970s. This pistol was a notable early option for a compact 9mm firearm.
