NEX 39" Quic Air Riot Baton

Impressive sight & sound when opening. Use is limited to 2 hand jabs & thrusts (as would be used in a riot). Too long (& therefore too slow) to swing as in general self defense (unless you do so closed - 12”). Glad I got it but it’s going to be an attention getter/novelty when I instruct a defensive tactics class.

Fit and finish is excellent. Good for keeping angry dogs away and if you need it you can use it to help you walk. I would not want to get hit by this baton. The engraving on the baton is free and is hidden on the lowest section when the baton is closed. Have not tried the glass breaker yet but at least it is there in case I need it. I would buy another one if I lost or broke this one somehow. If you are thinking about buying a baton and it being long enough then you don't have to worry about that with this one. Sling it out or pull it out slowly by hand ether way it is still intimidating. You wont be disappointed with this purchase.

This baton’s extra length will keep any attacker at a distance plus the quick deployment will make him think twice

A great very stout 38" walking staff when it isn't being used by law enforcement on horseback. Very sturdy and collapsable with a push of a button. Haven't found anything to compare it to.

Cons: 1, made in China, have to wait to see if any durability or function issues arise. 2, very slippery grip, needs a rubber or foam grip.

Pros: 1, it's 3 feet long which gives an imposing visual for the opponent to reconsider. The added length also gives it considerably more power. 2, the release button works great! 3, even though it has a very slippery grip, it also has flat spots on both sides that help the grip and make a great place to allow the thumb to aid in a proper grip. 4, it can be extended in two ways. The traditional swing out method, must use a stronger than normal swing due to the added length and you can manually pull it out to extend. Both methods can be a useful visual image in an attempt to give the opponent a moment of pause to reconsider. 5, the sight of this baton is often enough deterrent.

Take everything into consideration and even with the two cons, this is the best baton I have ever used!
