I have always used the regular Chrome with Foamed Vinyl Grip. It is all steel and heavy compared to the Airweight ASP Batons. There are a view deputy's that have switched to this already, but in the ASP Law Enforcement catalog it says this about the Airweight models.
Our dept's certified ASP Instructor is out and I can't get through to ASP to ask. Does anyone know why they put this information in the catalog about not using the Airweight for uniform duty use? |

Try hitting your self with a pencil.
Lack of weight sure doesn't help with the blunt force. |

They don't inflict pain as well as heavier batons, therefore they don't elicit compliance.

I got hit on my calf mussel with the training baton back when I went through the ASP Training Course and it hurt like a bitch. I am not billy bad ass or anything, but I am not a pussy either. The training batons we used was the RedMan Training Batons.

I've also heard the airweights tend to bend easier. Basically you use them once and buy a new one.

Same shit here. At quals they give us the steel ones to do DT. Aluminum ones are what we use for everyday carry.
