Review: ASP Talon DiscLoc baton (Airweight model)

** Specifications **

Length closed: 21 cm (8.25 in)
Overall length open: 50 cm (19.7 in)
Weight: 324 g (11.4 oz)

Material: Aluminium, with some stainless steel parts
Handle: Foam covered

Price: 125 USD / 160 CAD

** Pros / Cons **

+ Quick to deploy, easy to collapse
+ Quality material, excellent fit & finish
+ Effective impact tool

- Price (good value for the money though)

** Verdict **

This is a very noticeable improvement over a $20-50 friction lock baton, with a better and more practical design as well as higher quality material and fit. It's easy to use but packs quite a punch.

Even the lightweight aluminium version is remarkably durable and held up to my abusive testing just fine. The steel version would be noticeably heavier but it would hit even harder, so might be worth considering.

Overall it's a very well made self-defense tool, easy to recommend.
