    US Military Police Monadnock 36" Baton

    I know virtually nothing about this other than it's supposed to be US MP issue.

    Came from a local surplus shop that actually does get a lot of surplus. 23 inches closed; 36 inches open.

    Correct use avoids hitting the head supposedly with legs and arms being primary targets.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    I hate those things. Give me hickory or a non-collaspable side handle. Both have mass.

    Correct theory. During ACP (aid to the civil power) training the shield was held up in front and the troops went under at the knees and shins.

    By far the best, with the thong that goes over the back of the hand, not wrist. Almost indestructible.

    Totally agree. I had to carry the PR-24 version when I was working patrol. I should actually say I carried it in the car, because that's where it always stayed. It was uncomfortable to carry on the belt and a pain to get to expand. The balance was horrible. My favorite was my LAPD PR-24. That baton ended more confrontations just by being drawn from its ring and it was very comfortable to wear.
