@TransitShare411: the Peacekeeper (PK) is heavier than my friend's 26" ASP, & almost makes the ASP seem toy-like. I've practiced with both, but the ability to jab with the PK, & the stopping power, make it my first choice. Different missions can require different tools, so I will buy a Camlock too, but my regular duty carry is the PK. I believe it's the best friction lock on the market, &with minimal parts, & great price, the best overall baton available to law enforcement.
@bobthebuilder378: after reviewing several batons, incl, Manadnock, Camlock, Peacekeeper, and ASP, my final two were the Camlock and Peacekeeper. I choose the Peacekeeper for three reasons: one-hit stopping power, machined tubes (bonus: giving the ability to jab), and price. I didn't like the fact that the Camlock had over 50 parts. That being said, I also contacted Mr. Lahner, who uses the Camlock, prior to making my final decision. I plan on purchasing a 21 inch Camlock in a couple of months.
Just got my Electroless Nickel 26" Peacekeeper. WOW. It's a beast! At first it seemed very heavy, but after practicing with it I realized that it was just the way the weight is placed in the front instead of the handle. Now I'm swinging it well, accurately, and rapidly. I'm SHOCKED how well I can jab with this and not have to worry about it collapsing. This makes the ASPs that my friends own look, and act, like toys. The Peacekeeper is truly a marvel. Best investment I've made on my duty belt.
@gomcse This is EXACTLY what I hoped some one would make, after taking apart my cheapy Chinese unit with diamond pattern rubber. (Grip seems to be made with very grippy soft rubber, that stands up to repeat abraision and cleaning). If I remeber correctly the "body" of my batton w/o the the baton core is 9oz and the baton core is also 9oz. What is your Asp and Peace keeper weight? I think if you make your first swing at target with collapsed peacekeeper, it will be like using water-loaded bat.
Anyone know were you can buy one of these? The peacekeeper website doesn't ship outside of the USA, so access is very limited for the majority, any ideas?
Civilians, Your better off with a smaller weapon you can hide than a big clumsy weapon a bad guy will SEE and take off you before you even see him about to rob you..
This guy seemed to open it pretty easily a couple of times without swinging for the fences and was talking the whole time. I just bought one of these from Peacekeeper and it is feels powerful. I also bought the swivel holster. I like the way it stands off from the hip because it doesn't get in the way of my body armor or gut. Camlock is a good mechanical baton but where I work it rains and the holes in the top let in water. I know because I had one.
"exceeded other batons" Yea maybe because those other batons aren't titanium phone poles! I would scream bloody murder if I got hit with one of those.
$109.00 for the 21 inch? Way too expansive for an officer on the beat! Most of the time I only take out my baton for intimidation to get to that compliant level. I have used my firearm more then my baton in most situations.
@ltm7575 Basket weave seems to look good longer and resists scratches better than plain leather. I have both and have worn both and the basket weave retains its new look longer and if it does get scratched it hides it a little better..
JEEBUS, that thing is THICK!! i have my ASP and my Monadnock in my hand right now and its NOTHING compared to the RCB. just wish they would sell to civilians.....
@silentknight2112 yeah, doesn't do me any good to just be able to look at a superior baton...I need it in my "civilian" hand's...this is very disappointing...guess my business will have to be taken elsewhere
@rickpayne90 yea i allready took my business elsewhere, i own a few batons, including monadnock , ASP,ESP, casco and Galls (which is rebranded monadnock) and i like them all come to think of it ,there is an alternative to this baton its called the monadnock autolock HG that i forgot about when i made the original post (and by civilian i meant non sworn LEO)
@rickpayne90 You can "take your business" right over to Bonowi. I'm not sure why any civilian (not wearing a utility belt) would consider it practical to carry around a 1.25" x 9" lead weight. This thing is obscenely bulky and clumsy. You need to swing for the fences to open it by inertia, and you need to slam it on the ground to close it. The holster stands off from your hip by over two inches. And forget about concealing this monster in your waist-band. Noooo thanks. Two words: Bonowi Camlock.
Nice review and nice product. Seem very well made.
However it's only relevant for LEOs and security guards. Here in Sweden anyway. If I hit someone who was trying to rob me with one of those , I'd probably be charged with assault with a deadly weapon…
@BernhardOelreich Some dude over here in the UK was prosecuted for carrying an offensive weapon. It was a smaller batton than those shown here, and it was in the trunk of his car... Not exactly there for quick useage!
can you make one thats a bit more like a lightsaber please? thanks.
