To retract the Damascus tactical baton, you must strike the tip of the baton vertically against a hard, flat surface like concrete or asphalt. Because it uses a friction locking system, a firm downward strike is required to break the friction seal and allow the segments to slide back into the handle.

The baton is sold as a standalone unit and does not include a carrying case or holster. This allows you to select a specific scabbard that matches your existing duty gear, whether you prefer leather, nylon, or hard-shell plastic carriers.

The DCB21 weighs approximately 9.3 ounces, making it a lighter option for long shifts. The DCB26 weighs 11.3 ounces, providing a bit more mass and a longer reach for riot control situations where maintaining distance is a priority.

No, the baton features a black powder coat finish that is matte and non-reflective. This helps maintain a low profile during nighttime operations and prevents glare that could distract you or reveal your position.

The Damascus Gear Expandable Batons are proudly made in the USA. This ensures high-quality control standards and supports domestic manufacturing for essential public safety equipment.
