Show me your ASP

[Mercs]

Anyone here lucky enough to have an ASP or a Devel? Please take this opportunity to show them off! I want to see some detailed pics... make me jealous, please. I think the ASP is one of the coolest pistols ever made, and I love the story behind it. I wouldn’t overlook the Devel version either. They’re both splendid little blasters. Once day I hope to have one or the other

the 669 is a fine pistol but other than being the same caliber and close in size there is no comparison in relation to an asp or a devel. but to each his own as they say.

i do have a devel buried deep in a safe. if i get around to it in the next few days i may dig it up and take a few pics.

Here's mine...

Stunning example s&wchad! lve never seen the leather case with the ASP logo before. Then again I haven’t seen many of these at all. I so wonder what it’s like to line up that guttersnipe and how fast it is. I’d pay actual money just to hold that pistol lol

 

[s&wchad]

Thanks!
I’ve never shot it, so I can’t offer much on the speed of the sight. Paris Theodore designed these as a close range combat weapon, where you point shoot looking over the top of the slide and pick up the guttersnipe in your peripheral vision. I’m sure it’s better than no sights at all, but it’s no target pistol!

I would love to shoot it, but they’re worth silly money, parts are all but non-existent and the teflon finish is soft and marks easily. I’d probably shoot a Devel (if I could find one at a decent price), because stainless doesn’t show wear near as fast.

That is the perfect carry piece that no one would carry. Thanks for posting it next to the 39 also. Amazing

actually the devels are hard chrome finish.
btw, that asp with extras is cool.

Absolutely... Brain fade on my part. Hard chrome is a great finish and I’d still shoot a Devel in a heartbeat!

Thanks to the men who gave us the ASP and Devel........ if not for them we
probably wouldn't have the 3913/3914 and NL guns!!!!!!

This is the only one I have. Devel Model 39-2 Full House Conversion. I have shot it. It's really a nice piece of craftsmanship. IMO

Gorgeous! So that is the double stack version then or no? More pics of that beauty would sure be sweet

Not an ASP, or a Devel, but I love this little Austin Behlert M59.

Doesn't like light target loads but purrs with +Ps. Easily one of the most accurate pistols I have.

in his comment above the pic he said it's a 39-2 so it's a single stack. a double stack would be a 59.

Not mine, I passed, but I helped my LGS price it and get it sold on GB.

Devel

This is close as I have, bobbed beaver-tail, Hi-Power cut slide, night sites, mag safety out and the trigger has been slicked up. Got it cheap.

Also was wondering if anyone has ever seen the 39-13 ASP or heard of what happened that endeavor? I can’t find any info on the 39-13 except I’ve seen a photo of one once

What do you want to know?

It's one of only two know Model 59's conversions Behlert did and the only 'blued' one. He accurized a bunch of them and did conversion on many other pistols but very few Model 59's.
A New York judge had him convert it and I bought it from John Jovino's when his wife sold it.
