ASP Agent Infinity Airweight 40 cm Disc Loc Cap Expandable Baton, Crosstec Knurled (52223)

Agent Infinity Airweight 40 cm Disc Loc Cap, Crosstec (A40) is an ultralight, professional steel-and-aluminum expandable baton measuring 40 cm / 16", equipped with the Disc Loc locking system. Its discreet carry profile combined with rapid deployment makes the Agent a professional tool for personnel performing duties in civilian clothing. Despite its compact dimensions, the Agent offers performance comparable to that of a full-size duty baton.

The baton’s striking section is made from a seamless, cold-drawn DIN 42CrMo4 tube manufactured from 4140 alloy steel. The forged and precision-machined middle section is made from 7075-T6 aluminum. This patented combination of steel and aluminum tubes creates an exceptionally lightweight, durable, and effective defensive tool. The use of both materials significantly reduces the baton’s weight compared with an all-steel version without compromising its functionality or performance.

Armament System and Procedures Inc. (ASP) is an official supplier of expandable batons to more than 120 government agencies worldwide.

Agent – this baton sets new standards in defensive technology. The reduced diameter of the shafts and handle, low weight, Cap Release button, and Nexus Clip allow the baton to be carried comfortably and discreetly close to the body, including inside the waistband. Conventional expandable batons with a Friction Loc locking system are deployed using a forceful wrist motion. The Agent can be opened in two ways: conventionally with a swinging motion or manually by pulling the baton tip and extending the shafts. The second method is useful when discretion is required, as it eliminates the characteristic deployment sound, as well as in confined spaces where a full swinging motion is not possible. The Agent baton can be closed with one hand. Simply press the Cap Release button located at the end of the handle to disengage the Disc Loc mechanism, rest the baton tip against a stable surface, and retract the shafts into the handle.

Aluminum and Steel – in Airweight models, the baton’s middle shaft is made from a seamless tube of 7075-T6 aluminum alloy manufactured specifically for ASP. Also used in the production of M16 rifle receivers, this material combines low weight with high mechanical strength. It has a hardness of 87 HRB, a tensile strength of 83,000 PSI, and a yield strength of 73,000 PSI. The 7075-T6 alloy is commonly used in applications where low weight and high mechanical resistance are essential. Reducing the baton’s weight results in a loss of only approximately 2% of its striking potential, while also decreasing inertia and allowing faster follow-up strikes.

The remaining baton shafts are made from seamless, cold-drawn tubes of AISI/SAE 4140 chromium-molybdenum alloy steel. The material is hardened to more than 49 HRC, providing high resistance to deformation, bending, and impact during intensive use. The steel has a tensile strength of 150,000 PSI and a yield strength of 120,000 PSI. The combination of aluminum and steel creates a lightweight, durable, and effective baton while retaining the functionality of models made entirely from steel.

Black Chrome – an extremely hard, highly abrasion-resistant coating applied to steel using a process similar to electroplating. The Black Chrome finish provides a deep black color, does not peel or chip, and improves the corrosion resistance of the steel components.

Handle – the Crosstec Knurled Grip features spiral microgrooves that provide a secure and stable hold, even in demanding conditions. Its textured surface improves hand traction, while the rings positioned at regular intervals allow the included Nexus Clip to be attached at various points along the handle.

Clip – the removable Nexus Clip can be attached at different points and in various positions on the handle.  The clip can be installed in either direction, allowing the baton to be carried tip-up or tip-down. This allows the carry configuration to be adjusted to individual preferences, supporting discreet carry and rapid access when required.
