Brandon are you dumb?
I whould like to beat you with it because you gave a bad review before buying it, The heavy metal tip moves faster because of the spring and what happens when something heavy moves fast? Oh sorry physics aren't your bag.

In Minnesota, coil batons are the only legal baton citizens can carry.

I prefer the spring baton's whip-like action to the more rigid standard batons.

This baton is very strong despite the flexibility. However my only problem is that once it opens up, it is difficult to get the end spring to retract. It gets stuck and pushing it back to its compact form is hard on the hands.

Just wanted to comment on the Minnesota statement above. Could you please point me towards that statute? I've got 12 years as a MN LEO and was a national LE instructor. Though vague, baton possession here falls under the "dangerous weapon" definition, and whether or not the intended use is "unlawful", rigid or sprung. 90% of a baton's use is as a retention and leverage devise, not striking or 'whipping'. Silly. I find the coiled versions quite useless and usually just novelty-like junk.

If anyone is aware of what a blackjack is they'll understand that the spring version of this self-defense weapon is a much more devastating than any stiff version. The spring adds speed to the weighted end making it more likely to break skin and even bones. My brother is a floor manager of a gentleman's club and after my experience with every type of baton in Iraq, I'm buying him one to carry on him at work and another one for my wife's purse for when she's about town because some incidents don't require you to draw your sidearm and use lethal force and this is a great alternative..

I once saw a 100 pound Japanese Officer take down a 6ft 2in 220lb belligerent and intoxicated US Marine with no more than this type of weapon. A well aimed "tap" below the kneecap reduced a well trained 22 year old "Devil Dog" into a blubbering incapacitated meat-bag that took 4 officers a great deal of effort to squeeze into the back seat of a Toyota.
The year was 1984 and the bar was Haru's in Okinawa.

I just got mine last week... been testing it on boards and water bottles and so forth... that little steel knob on the end hits REALLY hard, but I'm guessing it isn't hard enough to break bones except maybe the bridge of the nose.. but it will split skin and bruise like crazy, and NOBODY wants to be hit with it. A great non-lethal 'discourager' for the pocket. I put on a rubber grip and cord to wrap around the wrist. One flick, and it's ready to pop.
