Still the best police baton even though its popularity has declined over the years., January 30, 2011

This review is from: PR-24STS One Piece PR24 w/Stop (Misc.)

As a retired police officer and retired International PR-24 Police Baton Instructor, I still think this baton, created by the late Lon Anderson and manufactured by Monadnock, is superior than the straight police baton. At one time close to 50% of police agencies carried the PR-24 side handle baton, but because of negative publicity, the expandable straight batons are now the most popular models being carried. Nevertheless, this is an excellent baton for blocking, striking and applying control holds on a resisting subject. The short handle also makes it an easy baton to grip and hold onto during resisting arrest situations. I carried one for more than twenty years and as I have stated previously, it is still the most effective and versatile police baton ever created.

In conclusion, the PR-24STS baton is a strong, sturdy and well-made baton and the price is a bargain.
