*SCARCE ASP COMPACT SEMI AUTO PISTOL. SN A307744. Cal. 9mm. Rare ASP concealment semi-auto pistol made by Armament Systems & Procedures, Inc. of Appleton, WI in the mid-1980s from the basic S&W Model 39-2 pistol. The modifications include but are not limited to, shortening the bbl & slide, installation of a new recoil spring, slimming & squaring the trigger guard, shortening the grip frame plus new magazines and Lexan grips with clear panels to view the loads in the cut out magazine. They also installed a custom rear sight called the “Guttersnipe” which is simply a long block of metal attached to the rear of the slide with a tapered rectangular groove, painted yellow on the interior. There was no front sight. One simply lined up the three yellow triangles of the rear sight equally to be on target. Finally, it was teflon coated for corrosion resistance. While these pistols were very effective and functional, they were expensive, made on custom order only and were never available directly to the public, being designed for law enforcement and undercover operatives. Accompanied by an original catalog with one order sheet and an original owner’s manual. CONDITION: Extremely fine plus. Has been fired but very little. Retains virtually all of its original custom finish. Grips are crisp and clean, spare magazines appear to have never been loaded. Mechanics are crisp, brilliant shiny bore. 4-38020 JR270 (3,000-5,000)
