Today Caleb Daniels, author of "Licensed Troubleshooter", is joining me to talk about one of the best guns used to arm the literary James Bond: the ASP. Designed by one Paris Theodore, the ASP was a heavily modified Smith & 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's hands in the 1980s.
