[edit] Company Products
Monadnock manufactures several types of police baton, including long polycarbonate riot sticks, side-handle nightsticks (the most famous being the iconic PR-24), and both friction-locking and mechanically locking telescoping batons.
Monadnock's "AutoLock" line of batons are somewhat unique in the industry. Unlike the friction-lock type made by ASP, Inc. and other manufacturers, AutoLocks lock into their extended position via a ball-bearing mechanism. They can be deployed via inertia or simply pulled open with both hands. The are collapsed by pressing a button located in the pommel, rather than being struck on a hard surface.
