Monadnock to Debut AutoLock X3 HG Expandable Baton at 2017 SHOT Show
Sturdy baton with larger diameter shaft addresses increasing demand for smaller, feature-rich equipment
ONTARIO, California – Monadnock®, a brand of The Safariland Group, will present the AutoLock® X3™ HG expandable baton, a new design with a larger diameter shaft at the 2017 SHOT (Shooting, Hunting, and Outdoor Trade) Show, booth #12762. The new AutoLock X3 HG baton is a compelling option for the rise in demand for smaller size batons while providing more surface contact during baton performance. With its enhanced reliable locking function, the AutoLock X3 HG model with its Super Grip® coating on the handle, has a more substantial feel than traditional expandable batons.
“The AutoLock X3 HG baton showcases power, functionality and performance in a smaller, easy to handle design,” said Craig Starrett, category director for the Monadnock brand. “It has a stronger feel in the hand, is easy to deploy and close with a push of a button, and has improved corrosion protection for use in varied conditions. Best of all, we have added these features with no increase in the price.”
The X3 HG baton features an updated cam and stainless steel ball bearing design which offers reliably consistent locking action and a more solid feel in the hand when performing control techniques. Standard with a Super Grip handle, the X3 HG baton features a ribbed Santoprene™ material that enhances the grip in both dry and wet conditions. Other features include a locked position providing a more solid feel and an integrated nose cap for smoother holstering and grip protection. The enhanced corrosion resistance for extended durability is due to an improved corrosion-resistant black electroless finish.
