On the street, there can be no tolerance for second best. It is here that the nation's most respected and tactically advanced law enforcement agencies trust their safety to ASP Friction Batons. An intermediate force system of uncompromising quality from a firm with a long tradition of agency service.

Friction Batons expand by sharply flicking the baton straight up or straight down to extend the inner shafts. Each shaft is locked rigidly in place by a precision Friction taper. To retract the baton, strike the tip of the baton sharply downward on a hard surface, such as concrete.

Airweight shafts offer 45% weight reduction with 98% of the striking potential of steel. Black Chrome provides the most durable and corrosion resistant black baton finish. Electroless is the most corrosion resistant finish. It is well suited to high humidity environments.

Customer Reviews (4.7 / 5 · 6 reviews)

Ellie Z. ★★★★★

The friction lock engages with a satisfying, solid click every time I extend it, and the 21” length gives me real confidence without feeling unwieldy. I’ve been practicing draws and it’s held up perfectly through a few hundred cycles so far.

Ava G. ★★★★★

Hefted it for the first time and the weight distribution feels perfectly balanced for a 21-inch frame, and the friction lock snaps shut with a reassuring click that tells you it won’t fail when you need it most. Solid build that inspires confidence.

Scarlett Z. ★★★★★

Bought this after a buddy swore by it for patrol work, and the 21-inch length hits a sweet spot for quick draws even in a jacket pocket. The friction lock mechanism is stiff out of the box but broke in smooth after a few cycles, and the weight feels reassuringly balanced when you need to rely on it.
