ASP 21" Talon Steel DiscLoc Expandable Baton DuraTec Grip D21FB

The new ASP Talon Baton with the revolutionary DiscLoc button-release mechanism. With safety, simplicity and ease of use as the driving forces behind the design, the Talon's unique features allow police officers and public safety professionals to close the baton without impact, open it in very close quarters and fully service it in the field.

To retract the Talon, push the release button at the butt-end of the baton's grip and press the tip of the shaft. "One really important feature of the Talon is that is can be closed simply by putting it back into its scabbard in one fluid motion," said ASP Chairman and CEO Kevin Parsons, PhD. "Retraction couldn't be more convenient."

The Talon's sophisticated yet simple design uses two opposing internal discs that secure each of the baton's shafts in place to ensure that lockout is stable and secure. It has a retention groove at the bottom of the foamed vinyl grip to improve an officer's grasp, and the Talon has fewer than 20 moving parts making it simple to maintain and fully service in the field.

Like all ASP expandable batons, officers can open the Talon by sharply extending it toward the ground or the sky, but they can also open it by pulling the extended tip of the baton's shaft. This allows officers to expand the baton in tight spaces, such as a vehicle while working executive protection detail.
