Designed by one Paris Theodore, the ASP was a heavily modified Smith &#038; Wesson Model 39 intended to incorporate all the best elements of a custom fighting pistol. It had all melted corners, transparent grips, an improved trigger press, reshaped trigger guard, and many other changes. Only a few hundred ASPs were made, and it was the perfect gun for continuation author John Gardner to put in James Bond&#8217;s hands in the 1980s.<\/p>\n<p>You can see my full video on the ASP here:<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/4trmOFxuJw0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/4trmOFxuJw0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>All the best firearms history channels streaming to all major devices:<br \/>weaponsandwar.tv<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/utreon.com\/c\/forgottenweapons\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/utreon.com\/c\/forgottenweapons\/<\/a><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.patreon.com\/ForgottenWeapons\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.patreon.com\/ForgottenWeapons<\/a><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.floatplane.com\/channel\/ForgottenWeapons\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.floatplane.com\/channel\/ForgottenWeapons<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Cool Forgotten Weapons merch! <a href=\"http:\/\/shop.forgottenweapons.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/shop.forgottenweapons.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/headstamp\/licensed-troubleshooter?ref=7eq2r0Licensed Troubleshooter: The Guns of James Bond is live on Kickstarter now &#8211; check it out for lots of super cool exclusive options!
