This is an awesome baton. I have used it on the street and it was very effective...

Breaks windows and assists in arrest; what more can I ask for.

Easy to use. Handles the job. What else could one ask for.

very good choice was weapon. Compact enough for plain cloths use. Carried one for 20 years, still works like new

Awesome "non-leathal" tool.....having this weapon has saved a few lives because I didn't feel the need to draw my weapon against an individual armed with a bat, tire tool and a brick.

The perfect baton for law enforcement or private security, I own this model and have carried it.

I love it, it deploys very easily and never sticks on me like the other few I've tried.

I love it

This is a great product, and it works well. Good to have as a backup.

A great peice of gear that works in so many different situations

great force option thats availible. plus makes one great back scratcher when needed.

THIS IS A GREAT PIECE OF EQUIPMENT,BETTER THAN MY OLD PR-24,SOMETHING ABOUT DRAWING IT FROM THE HOLSTER AND THAT SNAP THAT EXTENDS IT MAKES WOULD BE "BAD ASSES" PAY ATTENTION,ALSO EASY WAY TO TAKE OUT A DOOR GLASS>

I stronly agree with the psychological deterrence. I have extended my ASP one time in self-defense. The bad guy saw it, screamed and took off running. Excellent to break glass when neccessary.

I nicked named mine "Act Right" and trust me when she comes out she gets suspects to act right. A great tool to assist in doing your job. At times I would rather use her then my x26

great productt . works like a charm.

Very handy to carry. Doesn't take much room at all. However, it didn't gain me any compliance when used. The only real success in using it, was breaking open some windows.

I bought my ASP in 1989. I live in PA, and no one even used it or ehard of it here back then. I had read about it in Law & Order magazine, and I had to have one. And its great for plain clothes, as it is so easy to hide. However, I did hear off 2 instances where the baton cam apart when it was deployed. One I had read about that occured in a department in NY, and the other was a local deparment. The officer told me that his seargent deployed it by snapping it back into the air. When he did, the top portion became detached and went spinning into the air. Yikes! Remember the old Black Jacks? They were great for some close and personal counseling!

I love this baton, my favorite saying that goes along with it and maybe a new slogan should be, " I am going to ASP you some questions".

Makes a great arm rest while on the duty belt.

Gets the job done! Better than pepper spray and more reliable! Put your legs into it!

Very effective. Its not as good for subject control as the side handle baton, but is compact and dont get left in the car. I would recommend it to anyone. It gets the job done.

nice way to keep them in order...

I've had mine for 7 years and it's worked great the whole time.

Love the ASP, very effective too and takes up very little space.

A few officer friends of mine have this baton, and a civilian friend has it, it ok, but i like the tonfa styles a little better. Another issue is price, the are VERY costly.

Good tool to have. Usually the sound of an Asp extending is enough for any combative person to wise up.

Breaks just about whatever you need it to.

I carried the side handled pr-24 for a couple years, i was reallly glad when they cam out with the asp baton. its compact, lightweight, and you can carry it on the duty belt without and swaying on your belt. great piece of gear to have especially in responding to calls with multiple asaillants.

Very good product. I recommend it as a tool on any LEO's belt. Lightweight and easily deployed from the new rotating holder.

carried one a long time. excellent weapon.

This is what I carry on duty, and altough it never seems to go back in once its out (sometimes good, sometimes bad) i have never had a problem expanding it the 2 times Ive needed it, great all around, and it makes it gives you an extra 2 feet from the suspect if needed if you choose not to spray for some reason.

i like it.

Pretty good product. Opening the ASP has an attention getting effect...like racking a shotgun. One drawback is our department finds that they sometimes open in their own.

Have not used it yet. But can't wait until I do.

Good feel (could be a little heavier), good shock value when you pull it out. There are add ons out there that make it easier to break windows with it that seem interesting though. Haven't used it on a bad guy yet though...

18 inch is too small, 26 and up takes too much room to extend. I like the 21 inch. I cant even imagine being hit at anyone's full strength with this thing.

i prefer a PR24 ,but like my ASP because its compact and easy to access

IMPACT WEAPON

great tool multiple uses whether its fully engaged or disengaged

I carry this and am very happy with it.

Even though our department does not use the ASP, the current collapsible baton we use is similar to the ASP, and I am glad they did change to it. Great tool when dealing with a large number of subjects.

VERY STRONG AND EFFECTIVE

Reliable and there when you need it. Bit hard to close, which only means it won't close when you need it most.

Gets the job done!

Great piece of equipment, easy to conceal in uniforn or plain clothes. I've carried one for years.

Excellent product. The best used by the best. Only 165 ounces.

I carried this product for several years. It is much better that the Army issued wooden sticks. I like the PR-24 much better, although it is not as bulky and exremely lihtweight.

great non lethal tool to carry on your duty belt.

Nice and compact for duty belt carriage. I added the lanyard tailcap for better retention.

Although I have never had to use it yet, this model of the ASP Batton I must say has kept a great name for itself. Its lite weight and compact yet when needed it delivers devestating blows to marked areas. Training with this was great!

I've been carrying my F21B with a side break scabbard for over 10 years. It's indestructible. Small enough to fit comfortably on your duty belt yet big enough to bring down the bad guys!

Got it.

Not as good as my straight baton. My asp bent, after that, never again. If you must carry an expandable baton, there as much better options out there. I highly suggest taking a look at The RCB baton, by Peacekeeper International.

Works great on windows!!!!

I have carried the ASP now for about six years and only used it one time. It is a great psychological weapon. I love how the attitudes change when the ASP comes out.

Love mine. Have it in a cross draw holster so when I pull it, I can immediately expand it. Quite a deterent.

I love it. My only problem is how hard it can be to get it to go back in. But other than that...awesome!!

I use this as an "off-duty" carry item. Just keep it in my go bag for when I'm heading to and from "the Office." It's compact and reasonably light weight... works great for me!

I would much rather carry this everyday then those old PR-24's. Those things are like boat anchors.

Very effective means of psychological deterent. Works well for pressure points as well. Highly effective intermediate use of force. Good piece to have for the price and peace of mind.

I gonna take stickgirls word for it. lol!!!!!

When you absolutely, positively...

never had to actually use it, but, many have with great results

Leave it closed and puush either side into the sternum and it will wake a person up better than smelling sauce. Good show for intimidation, when expanded.

ASP makes a great product this in conjuction with a break away holster makes for great reaction time.

Very good product. Never had a failure during baton training in the academy. Perfect tool for self defense.

Nice baton. Good all around size. The smaller ones don't give you enough reach but the longer ones are hard to carry on your belt everyday. Only reason not a 5 star is because it would be nice to have a release button like on a monadnock.

GREAT BATON NEVER FAILED ME YET! VERY EASY TO OPEN

This is a good product, I only have had one problem with it which required a new spring. But other then that it works very well.

Very effective piece of a LEO's Aresonal. The little stick that goes big. Reminds me of a time I had to actually pull mine out. The guy laughed at me until he saw it opened then he complied no contest. My metal pole against his mouth, I would win.

I have had this baton for almost a year now. This is probably one of the smoothest batons I have ever handled. As long as it is maintained (make sure you dry it after a downpour) this baton will last you for quite sometime. It makes a distinct click, to me, that really grabs one's attention. Like my firearm this is one weapon I would not leave home without.
