Literary James Bond’s Best Pistol: the ASP

Licensed Troubleshooter: The Guns of James Bond is live on Kickstarter now - check it out for lots of super cool exclusive options! 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.
