About Friction Lock Batons:
Constructed of durable 4130 aircraft alloy steel tubing and featuring Morse tapers the tight locking joints that make the baton feel solid in your hand

• Comfortable to carry and easily opened with a flick of the wrist
• Open in a low profile manner for the element of surprise simply pull on the Safety Tip or Power Safety Tip to extend the shaft
• When the baton tip strikes a hard surface, the weight in the tip helps it close by providing additional shock to unlock the shaft
• The distinct sound of the baton expanding sends a signal to the suspect that you are armed and ready
• The end cap utilises a bore guide that centres the end shaft over the retention spring, helping to prevent retention spring breakage that often occurs in non Monadnock end cap designs

Standard Tip:
Allows for opening the baton in a high profile manner; may gain physcological advantage for officer over subject

Safety Tip:
Reduces sharp edges; urethane covering allows passive drawing of the baton

Power Safety Tip:
Engineered to put more weight forward to better balance the baton in the hand and improve kinetic energy transfer at the moment of impact. The larger tip surface may turn a subjects pockets inside out, reducing the risk of getting stuck with sharp objects.


Foam Grip: Offers the highest tear strength and allows quick access from the Front Draw holder.

Super Grip: The fluted surface texture provides excellent baton retention in and out of the holder.
