Expandable baton, tactical baton, collapsible baton – whatever you call them, they are an effective self defense tool almost anybody can use. Basically, just a modern version of the caveman club. In this video we look at 3 baton options from Smith and Wesson and talk about why I think they are a great idea as a backup or less than lethal weapon.

Thanks for watching Survival On Purpose.
Remember:
Survival is Not an Accident!
Be Prepared
yet another self defense device not legal in NY….unfortunately being defenseless is what the state seems to wants law abiding citizens to be. Fortunately they haven’t been able to outlaw walking sticks YET…. Nice video though
How strong are these batons? I have seen some that bent just from striking a 2 liter bottle of water. You did not show them in action.
thanks!
I did not. I am planning a testing video later but the reality is as long as it is strong enough to whack somebody and allow me to get away, I don’t care if it gets bent. But here are the specs: Tensile Strength of 2653.3 lbf (1203.5 kgf), Bending Strength of 1985.7 lbf (900.7 kgf)
They also have heat treated models with higher numbers. Abut double. And about twice the weight.
A tactical baton in untrained hands is just as dangerous for the user.
Well if that weapon changes hands then the untrained is on the bad end of the weapon at that point. I’d say spray weapons don’t near training mace or even hear spray to the eyes will give time to flee.
So it would be better to have nothing?
How can u find out if they are legal in your area?
Bear in mind, this is a site on the internet so I cannot vouch for it. I just did a Google search.
Be careful of that skunk at 7:11!
Skunk? What skunk?
Not legal in ma.
Bummer
if these are illegal hammers are legal anywhere.
But harder to conceal
