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

[keith720]

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?

[nsb22]

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

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.

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

[lewisipso]

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

[ex401mp]

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

[deputysykes]

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 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

[depusm12]

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.

[gopherpuckfan]

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