When I was a boy my dad carried nitestick and a flashlight in addition to cuffs a revolver and I'm not sure what else. For me I thought that all of that was a bit too bulky and cumbersum so I purshased the ASP baton. This light weight tatanium weapon made my job so much easier and it was much more effective in close quarter combat situations than a nitestick. Are these standard issue theses days, just wondering?

I love the collapsable baton. Compact, light weight and ready in an instant. Very universal tool.

Perfect mid-range use of force tool for plainclothes officers/detectives. Easy to conceal yet readily accessible for self defense, come-alongs, etc. Been an ASP instructor for 10 years, love them.

excellent product

Durable, being a callaseble baton is great.

the asp baton is a quality product

Great product. I have seen some of the other "off Brand name" expanding batons, and ASP has them beat. I did change out my end cap, because I found it slipped out of my hand with out the larger end on it.

wonderful tool to have. many uses. would recommend changing out the und cap for the knob cap. you have more control of it and not worry about slipping.

Gets The Job Done!

Definitely works when used!!!

Carried it for 7 years. My only complaint, it rattles in the holder, when I'm sneaking and peeking I leave it behind or hold onto to silence.

Is there any way to stop that rattle ? I stopped carrying this because of the noise.

good for windows and dogs.

Great Product, love the versitility

awesome

I like mine because I can carry it in plain clothes giving me a little more edge.

Good serviceable baton. I prefer the M.E.B. Easier to close and the public doesn't think you have issues with the sidewalk. I would like to try their new leverlock baton though.

ASP best in the bizz.

Have carried the ASP expandable baton for 9 years and been an instructor for 5. It has performed nealry flawlessly. I say nearly as in September of this year myself and another Officer found ourselves several hundreds yards in the forest with a large ex-boxer high on meth. This man didn't even flinch, He absorbed several heavy blows to the thighs before complying. Was the only time I can say I had a failure of this particuler tool.
