Advantage:
4140 seamless steel tubing is not commercially available in the United
States. As a result, ASP must have a special chemistry or “heat” of
steel poured in Germany and then pierced into rounds. This raw stock is
then drawn by an American company into tubing that is fabricated to ASP
specifications. As a result, ASP is the sole source of 4140 steel tubing
for expandable batons. ASP 4140 is 25% stronger than more commonly
available 4130 tubing.
Specification:
-
25% greater yield strength (bend
strength)
-
25% greater tensile strength (break
strength)
-
Higher carbon content allows more
precise heat treating
-
Tubing stays straighter during
processing
Performance:
Monadnock employs 4130 tubing. ASP 4140 Batons are 25% stronger. They do
not bend or pull apart. Tests by major federal law enforcement agencies
found ASP Tactical Batons to be “virtually indestructible.”
Constructed of heat treated 4140 high carbon steel for strength. Zinc
Dichromate coated handles and hardcoat high luster chrome finish provide
superior corrosion resistance. Patented foam vinyl grip provides
increased retention. |
