Use the guide below to quickly choose the baton type that fits your situation best, then compare the models in the product list.
Quick Baton Selector: Which Type Is Right for You?

- Spring-Loaded Batons – Best when fast deployment matters. Extends with a one-touch button for rapid readiness.
- Friction Lock Batons – Best for dependable extension with a secure feel. A solid, reliable option for users who prefer a straightforward locking design.

How to Choose a Baton Size
Baton length affects reach, control, and portability. Shorter batons are easier to carry discreetly, while longer batons provide more reach and leverage. Many expandable models extend from 16" to 26" depending on the baton you choose. If you’re unsure, a mid-length option is often the best balance for most users.
