ASP Launches New Talon Baton
OutdoorHub 10.05.12
Armament Systems and Procedures (ASP), a leader in quality law enforcement equipment, has just launched the new Talon Baton, a Disc Loc, button-release baton for police and public safety professionals. In a continued working partnership with ASP, Kroll International, the foremost wholesaler of law enforcement, fire/EMS, public safety, military/tactical and shooting sports products, is now offering the Talon to its retail dealers in the U.S. and abroad.
Among the Talon’s key features are simplicity and serviceability. With fewer than 20 parts, the Talon’s simple design uses two opposing internal discs that retain each of the baton’s shafts in place to ensure that lockout is stable and secure. In addition, it has a retention groove at the bottom of the foamed vinyl grip to improve grasp. With such a straightforward design, the Talon can be easily maintained and serviced in the field should service be necessary.
“Our retailers who specialize in law enforcement and public safety equipment will quickly see the benefit of the Talon among their customer base,” said Bud Gardner, Director of Sales and Merchandising at Kroll. “The ASP name is not only synonymous with a high quality product in an industry that requires solid, dependable equipment, but the Talon itself is easy to use and can be readily maintained. We anticipate a high demand for the Talon.”
Like all ASP expandable batons, the Talon can be opened by sharply extending it toward the ground or the sky. In addition, the Talon also can be opened by extending the tip of the baton’s shaft for use in vehicles, tight spaces or for discreet deployment. Kroll offers not only the Talon, but a variety of ASP industry-leading products, including, Sidebreak Scabbards that will house the new baton for wear on belts.
“ASP is extremely pleased to partner with Kroll International to bring the Talon to retailers of law enforcement and public safety equipment,” said ASP Founder and CEO Kevin Parsons, PhD. “Kroll is a tremendous wholesale business partner with a vast retail base and expert-level industry knowledge. We know the Talon is in very good hands with Kroll.”
