Chicago 26" Hardened Steel Baton - Black

Good for the price. Grip is stinky, but washes off.

Chi 26 is Not ugly but what my old stick did, made of wood; made things ugly after using it. The New Chi 26 is nice and ready for me to stop drama in its tracks. I never plan to use it but if the drama hits the fan, I will look to the Chi 26 to stop it all!

I purchased this product as a protection should I run into any wildlife when walking my dog in our rural environment. We have Javelina, coyotes and mountain lions in the area. Although it would be best to avoid any and all of these animals, having a little bit of help if necessary by carrying the baton could be useful.
The unit deploys well and immediately, however it is sometimes difficult to retract against a hard surface, following the instructions.

For the cost of this item, you can’t go wrong. It’s a solid piece of construction. I own several batons of various lengths and different manufacturers. I don’t intend on carrying this on my person on a daily basis, but it’ll do well for the home or car. My EDC is a 16” with a clip. Different manufacturer, but purchased from this site. What I like about this model is the grip, and deploying is fast and easy. Retracting baton is much easier than others I’ve owned. Overall, I’m happy with this product and would recommend it.

It will definetly do the job it was made for but it's engenering was a little sloppy. It has bends in it when exstended
