Well heck, you should have said that in the first place. I lusted after an ASP when I was a kid. I would have settled for the Devel version like what Col. Rex Appelgate had. I thought I was going to be the next Paris Theodore back then. Good times.
So yeah, I get it. In my little monkey brain I often compare my RMR'd G43 to the ol' ASP. Just imagine what all those old timers would think if they could see what's available today.
Oddly, someone today, I think it's the Springfield Hellcat, has a sight kinda like the old Guttersnipe, only they use fiber optics instead of gold plating or paint or whatever. What's old is new again, it seems.
Good luck on your project. I've a few like that myself. I'd love to take one of my old pre-war Colt Woodsmans and fit it with an integral suppressor, or at least thread it for something like a Dead Air Mask. I also have a couple of Beretta 71 "Mossad pistols" that wear a can. So again, yeah, I get it.
I bet you still had that ASP.
