Do you have a small ASP?(Goz, no need to reply!)

I'm considering "downsizing" to a smaller ASP. I currently have the 26". Does anyone here have a small ASP and how do you like it?

KCnuke has the next step down from the 26". Might want to PM him.

He seems to like it.

We have the smaller ones and the larger ones. I carry the smaller one I was issued. I generally do like it, but I also use it closed more than open. It's more intimidating open (crowds when there is a group of us), but I have found it more effective closed, especially in confined areas like a car. If I can strike with the point on a muscle mass, or if need be, a joint or side of the head, I have their attention pretty quickly.

I carry the 21" Airweight ASP. Never had to use it; it's mainly there in case I need to break glass or if the Taser malfunctions. It doesn't add nearly as much weight to the belt as the 26" steel model does.

I think mine is 22". It also has the power tip on the end of it.
I like it alot, it works out great for scratching your back too:D

I use the 21, and it seems to work ok, given the limitations of an ASP.

I don't carry an ASP.


I would recommend you carry a 12 oz. can of whoop ass like me.

bithin mahy tungh:angel:

Hell no, I carry a 31 inch ASP baton!!!!!

I came with a smaller version of the impact weapon but my wife doesn't seem to mind.

It's all good until she starts telling you how cute it is.

I've got a 16' with one of those no slip, ribbed for my pleasure, grips on the end. I like it. I do recommend a shiny finish for a shorter length. A little shine makes that dude look bigger than it realy is. I guess I've found a need for tricks to enhance the appearance of size. {Lowers head, sighs, and reluctantly posts confessing reply}

i need a cold shower

I have a long...... um

I have a short baton, never have to use it so it doesnt matter for me, I have actually debated taking it off my duty belt since we carry taser and oc

We don't carry the ASP we carry the Monadnock 26 inch collapsible autolock baton w the power tip. But mine isn't on my belt right now cause the stupid plastic holder has broken again and I can't get another one right now so it's in my patrol bag.

I'm debating the same thing for the same reasons, but I figure the day I take it off, is the day I'll need it! I was just wondering if the smaller ASP really made any noticable difference when you're wearing it.

It's not the size that's important...it's how well you club people with it that counts :D
