I ordered it last week, it will be here today. Has anyone ever used this or carried it? We do a good amount of training and I am currently using an ASP, but one of my deputies that i frequently ride with carries one, but we didnt have much time to talk about it.

If you're actually planning on smacking someone with an impact weapon, I wouldn't recommend carrying anything listed as "lightweight" or "airweight", etc...

I tested one out for a bit. Personally I thought it was a piece of garbage. Who wants a baton made from plastic...oops, I'm sorry "Polycarbonate". Stronger than steel my a**. I would recommend you stick with the asp unless you want to live in Fisher Price land where everything is "polycarbonate" and everyone is happy.
