Excellent product & worth the price
I'm a retired leo and part time close protection officer. I purchased this as a known & effective Intermediate use of force applique in my protective work. I was certified with the ASP both in my Dept and military reserve unit. The talon button/cap closure is first rate - no more slamming the tip to close the baton. This is the all steel 15.75" (40) version, small enough in closed length and diameter to CCW comfortably. It is just tip heavy enough to be able to get the job done with the minimum amount of exertion. I'm not so sure about the airweight versions. I'd rather get any unpleasant business over with the least number of strikes. With this baton I'm confident that I would be able to. It's a little tight/stuff at first. But it's getting easier to deploy and close with each practice. The only "negative" is the spring loaded Nexus clip. It doesn't hold with much force and feels flimsy. If needed I can always get a nylon or leather case for a tactical flashlight of similar dimensions. It was shipped to me on the same day I ordered it, on a Friday, and received on Tuesday
