Overall Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars
I recently purchased the Smith & Wesson 26” Baton & Holder from Police Baton Warehouse, and it arrived in perfect condition just 14 days ago. As someone who works in security and needed a reliable expandable baton for on-duty use, this purchase has exceeded my expectations in most areas.
Build Quality and Design (5/5):
The baton itself is a beast—solid steel construction with a sleek, black finish that feels premium and durable. At 26 inches when fully extended, it provides excellent reach without being cumbersome. The one-hand expansion mechanism is smooth and quick; it locks open with a satisfying snap and collapses just as easily. No rattling or looseness, which I’ve experienced with cheaper alternatives. The included holder is a nice touch—it’s a sturdy nylon sheath with a belt loop that secures the baton firmly and allows for easy draw. It’s comfortable for all-day wear and doesn’t add bulk to my uniform.
Functionality (4.5/5):
In the field, this baton has proven reliable during a couple of high-stress situations. It extends and retracts consistently, and the weighted tip gives it that authoritative feel without being overly heavy (about 1.5 lbs). The holder keeps it accessible and protected from scratches. My only minor gripe is that the holder could use a quick-release clip for even faster access, but that’s a personal preference—it’s still better than most holsters I’ve tried.
Value for Money (4.5/5):
At the price point, this is an absolute steal for a name-brand like Smith & Wesson. Comparable batons from other brands often skimp on materials or add unnecessary frills. The fast shipping from Police Baton Warehouse was a bonus; it got here quicker than expected, well-packaged to prevent any damage.
Pros:
• Exceptional durability and smooth operation.
• Comfortable, secure holder included.
• Great balance and length for professional use.
Cons:
• Holder could benefit from a more tactical retention system (minor nitpick).
If you’re in law enforcement, security, or just need a high-quality self-defense tool, I highly recommend the Smith & Wesson 26” Baton & Holder. It’s built to last and gives you confidence in tough situations. Thanks to Police Baton Warehouse for the seamless order—I’ll be back for more gear!
I bought the 26" baton and for my height that size is perfect. The baton feels great in the hand with a stable grip. I haven't needed to use the baton yet but it looks solid and is easy to extend.
I previously had another baton that was not nearly as good. He often had trouble fully retracting. This smith & wesson unit is smooth and strong. The belt carrier is also well made and appears very strong and sturdy.
I received my baton earlier then expected and it performed excellent from the beginning. Baton Warehouse is the perfect place for my future baton needs and I will definitely recommend Baton Warehouse to all my Law Enforcement partners.
