When seaching for this article by typing in "asp", wikipedia redirects you to disambg page implying that the name of the gun is an acronym, yet there is no mention of what ASP stands for in the article. I can't find any references, but I believe that ASP stands for Advanced Sighting Plane. Should it be added?

I (Lane Lombardia) wrote up what I know of the ASP 9mm handgun and posted it as an "ASP (handgun)/Temp" article. I welcome any enhancements to what I've written. This is too precious and special an item to not have a wikipedia article due to a copyright issue. Consequently, I've submitted what is (typos and all) a wholly original work.

The internet source listed appears to be a wikipedia mirror, and thus this article is not a copyright vio of it. Sapient 22:20, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

Was this weapon designed and manufacturered by Armorment Systems and Procedures of Wisconsin, the folks behind the ASP Tactical Baton? Pyrogen 05:09, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

No, as the article indicates, it was manufactured by Seventrees and Paris Theodore. I don't think ASP in Wisconsin existed early 1970s. Georgewilliamherbert 06:09, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

I'm having a hard time understanding this statement: "It is regarded as safe for handling, but not for use in cooking appliances and utensils. " I was going to remove it, but I felt I should get an explanation as to what "IT" is refering to before just mucking up an article.

Responding to your question... it is referring to Teflon-S, which is a bake-on industrial coating (see for example [1]). Georgewilliamherbert 07:47, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
