The Monadnock MX-21 baton is an excellent choice for anyone seeking a non-lethal alternative for self-defense. Built strong, these expandable batons are constructed entirely from anodized aluminum and coated with a black polycarbonate finish. The handle features a hardened foam grip that provides comfort while preventing slippage. Each baton may show some slight wear, tear and other signs of usage, but they are generally in excellent cosmetic and working condition. Interestingly enough, any wear and tear you find on your baton comes courtesy of the London Police Department in England, as each baton was in service with that department – serving to give your baton an exciting backstory. It is aptly named due to its overall length when fully expanded – 21 inches. It has a diameter of 1 inch and when collapsed it measures just less than 13 inches. Weight is almost negligible as the baton weighs in at a meager 13 ounces. Being that this baton is both lightweight and easily concealed, it is a popular choice among police departments and other law enforcement agencies.
There are also several other interesting features associated with the MX-21 expandable baton – the first being that it utilizes a positive locking mechanism (meaning that is it mechanical). Many batons are based on a friction lock, which is often unreliable and may either collapse at inopportune times or get stuck in the locked position. The MX-21 has a pin and spring that will keep the baton locked in position until you are ready to collapse it. It also means that you’ll never have to bang your baton on the ground or another solid surface to get it to collapse – just depress the pin and easily collapse the shaft. The other interesting feature is the weight forward shaft technology, which concentrates a majority of the weight in the shaft. This provides the user with greater momentum and provides for increased “knock-down” power.
As noted, this baton is popular among many police departments and law enforcement agencies due to the innovative design. It is a great choice for any law enforcement officer seeking a baton for personal or professional use. Additionally, it makes a great choice for self-defense. Many people are not comfortable using the more lethal methods of self-defense currently available, such as firearms or blades. This provides a great non-lethal alternative at a fraction of the price. Consider the MX-21 expandable baton for:
- Police and law enforcement
- Self-defense and personal protection
- Collectors
- Gifts
At only $49.95, we don’t expect these to stick around for long, so gear up or good luck finding a better deal.
