I was told by a retired gov't agent that the some agencies that utilized the ASP did not like the Guttersnipe and requested conventional sights. If I'm lucky enough to find one of the modified ASPs, I'll hold on to it.
I kept the DEVELs and qualify with them twice a year. The Model 59 is my favorite.
ASP also made a cool Ruger .44 Spl.

My vote is DEVEL hands down.
Here is my DEVEL 59 which you say you like best, as well as an ASP 44spl conversion revolver I also own.There were less than a hundred ASP converstion revolvers, and out of that bunch only a few 4" special police swat models like this. Most were 2 3/4 " fixed sight models. This 5 shot ASP 44 spl revolver lead the way for the Smith&Wesson production model 696 5 shot 44 spl"L" frames.
