Safariland introduces the new Monadnock AutoLock Defender Baton Kit, containing both a baton and a custom designed holder for this knuckle guard-style baton. 

The new on the AutoLockDefender baton features an updated handle design. The design of the polymer handle has been tooled for a smooth grip without finger grooves to allow for a wide variety of hand sizes and grip styles to fit comfortably. The holder for the Defender features a tension – retention design that grabs the hand guard to hold the baton securely in place, and an open bottom design that allows for reholstering the baton while it is extended. 

The Defender baton shields the user’s gun hand from hostile strikes with a guard that fits over the knuckles. The guard helps keep the baton firmly gripped during blocking, striking and jabbing techniques and can be used with gloved or bare hands. Like the traditional AutoLockbatons, the AutoLock Defender has a patented cam ball bearing and locking mechanism that helps ensure the baton stays locked open use and closes with a push of a button.

The Defender Kit is available with the 22-inch length baton in black chrome finish with a textured grip, and Power Safety Tip with either the new right- hand or left- hand cross draw carry holder. It is available now with an MSRP of $165.00. 

All Monadnockproducts carry a limited lifetime repair and/or replacement guarantee, and are subjected to rigorous quality control programs before they are released.
