This "From the Vault" video from Brownells features firearm historians Steve and Keith at Rock Island Auction Co. discussing the ASP 9mm pocket pistol. The ASP, a modified Smith & Wesson Model 39 by Armament Systems & Procedures, was an early concealed carry option in the 1970s, offering a full-power 9mm round in a compact package. Key features include a shortened slide and barrel, bobbed hammer, recurved triggerguard, "guttersnipe" sights, and clear Lexan grips for ammo visibility. With only about 450 manufactured, the ASP is highlighted as a pioneering firearm that paved the way for modern EDC 9mm pistols like the Glock 43, Ruger LC9, SIG P365, and CZ 2075.
