The Monadnock PR-24® side-handle baton offers maximum protection. It is the most field-tested baton for blocking, controlling and striking. This fixed length rigid polycarbonate baton is designed for close-quarter confrontations and the grenade-style grip with Trumbull Stop helps keep the baton in your hand and increases baton retention and subject-control holds. Made in the USA with a limited lifetime guarantee.
Sizing:
Batons should be sized proportionally to the Officer’s height. One of the common misconceptions is a longer baton is better. Normally, if an Officer is given a baton that is too large for them they will naturally find the proper balance point for grip….much like a baseball player will “choke up” on a bat that is too large. By “choking up” the Officer has to overcompensate for the improper length and will move their grip up on the handle several inches negating the length advantage.
