Very stable baton with belt holster is well in hand, and has a non-slip grip. Bin have pleasantly surprised not so good product expected. I ordered the 24 "". The 60cm are an ideal length, and the weight of 600 grams is also still acceptable. Man is supposed to can strike vigorously without it bends. It can extend rapidly with a slight swing forward, and is immediately ready to strike great. When driving I had initially problems, until I found out that after a single tap the top either on the floor or on the wall the issue is resolved and it is quite easy again can retract. I can make this baton at any time recommend, and just hope that I never have to use it But if they do, then I'm well prepared. This order, as always, about the company Amazon, great company.
