Hi,I'm a huge collector of asp products and have been looking for one of the knives and lapel pins from the presentation case for sometime,I'd love the pistol but bloody local laws prevent it. If anyone has same and wishes to part with them, feel free to drop me a mail on pgmcgrath25@gmail.com.
I know most of you know the history of the ASP so I won't bore you with too much info but here is a little.
I have lusted after these since I saw them while reading an old gun magazine in the late 80's.
I was a teen and never saw one in person.
I got my CCW when I was 18 (early 90's) as I owned vending machines and my families other businesses were mainly cash businesses back then.
I carried an Italian Beretta 92F (I still have it!). I modified a couple mags with cut outs and cut out pieces of a pair of grips to insert clear plastic mimicking the ASP.
Paris Theodore innovated and built the ASP till 1982 and then he licensed it to Kevin Parsons.
Parsons later released a limited edition of 100 in a special set Quest for Excellence.
I was able to find and original Paris modified ASP which most likely was never fired and a QFE which is complete, #s matching and unfired as well.
The ASP was really the first gun which was truly modified for concealed carry. The S&W model 39 was cut down and all edges were smoothed, lightening cuts were made to reduce weight and improve balance. Some 200+ modifications were made to the model 39 and it was one of the earliest guns to be coated in Teflon-S. Only problem is since they are both likely unfired now I need to find one I won't feel bad about shooting LOL
