Description
The ASP Friction Loc Baton 16 from Civil TAC is a high-performance compact duty baton designed for quick deployment and secure retention. Built with a friction-based catch, this 16″ expandable baton locks firmly when extended and collapses instantly with a twist–pull motion—crafted for professional use by law enforcement, security, or self-defense operators.
Secure Friction Lock System
Unlike traditional locking batons, the Friction Loc baton uses a friction catch to remain open without springs or locks. The tube juts out and locks by simple friction when extended, eliminating spring wear and ensuring reliable performance throughout a shift or deployment.
Portable, Durable Design
With a collapsed length suitable for belt carry and a fully extended length of 16″, the baton balances portability with reach. Its aircraft-grade steel construction resists bending, while the textured non-slip grip ensures firm handling under stress or wet conditions.
One-Handed Deployment
Opening the ASP Friction Loc Baton 16 is intuitive—twist to extend, and it locks open via friction. Retraction is just as fast: twist and pull back inward. This compact design allows rapid single-handed operation, ideal for dynamic and time-sensitive situations.
