Anyone looking for an effective means of self-defense against an attacker should familiarize themselves with products such as telescopic batons. Batons, popularly known as sticks, are currently one of the most popular means of self-defense. They are available without a permit, and the multitude of types available allows everyone to find a model that fits their expectations. The vast majority of available batons have a structure consisting of three segments. The first of these takes the form of a handle, which allows a firm grip. The other two, on the other hand, in unfolded form, are an extension of the hand for the person defending himself, while allowing him to distance his attacker from himself. The process of unfolding the telescopic baton itself is not complicated, it is enough only to, while holding the baton, make a sudden movement with the hand resembling a light swing, and then the baton will unfold. To fold it, it is enough to dynamically strike it against a hard surface at a right angle. Using a baton for self-defense is perfectly legal, but using it in situations other than necessary defense may be treated as an offense.
One of the most popular tools of this type are 18-inch telescopic batons. Their size in folded form allows you to carry them unnoticed by those around you, but when unfolded they are about 46 cm long. Telescopic batons of this size allow us to maintain a safe distance from the attacker. It is due to the discreetness of carrying and ease of use that such self-defense equipment is very popular. When choosing a telescopic baton, it is also worth considering the possible conditions in which it will be used. Theoretically, the longer the baton, the greater the distance from the attacker we can keep, but they also require more space to spread them out safely. 46 cm telescopic batons are the optimal solution for people who are most likely to use such self-defense equipment in small spaces, such as stairwells or enclosed rooms. This size of batons is also very often chosen by law enforcement officers. It is a popular choice of many security guards doing their duty in buildings.
Once you have decided whether the described size of self-defense baton will be suitable for you, it is worth noting the difference between specific models. The most common indicator of the quality of the baton is the grade of steel from which it is made and the quality of the hardening process - if it was carried out. Properly selected materials and hardening will protect our equipment from unwanted deformation, which could adversely affect the durability of the equipment. The moment such a product deforms, there are also problems with both unfolding and folding the baton itself. The best models are made of chrome-molybdenum steel or 4140 designation, which stands up well to the processes of heat improvement (hardening). An interesting addition that affects comfort during transportation are holsters attached to batons. Depending on the model and manufacturer, they can have a clip, fabric or polymer holster.
