Designed in the 1960s by Paris Theodore and produced through the 1970's, the ASP package takes a Smith & Wesson double-action pistol (in this case a Model 39-2) and performs a radical "remanufacturing" to convert it into an ideal defensive carry pistol. The pistol is reduced in multiple dimensions, anything that could catch on a garment is lowered or removed, all edges are rounded, and the trigger guard is cut-down and reshaped for a 2-handed grip. The original sights are replaced with a one-piece Guttersnipe sighting plane, the grips are translucent Lexan with clear windows and the magazines shortened to match and cut on the sides for round counting. Included with the pistol is the operations manual, warranty card, and related papers, two extra magazines, and a "death watch" branded soft case.

Excellent with 95% of the matte black finish showing some wear on the high points and a few mild scratches. Accessories are all in good order. Mechanically very good.
