The ESP ExB-26H 26″ Hardened Expandable Baton is designed for professional duty use. Its hardened steel shafts provide high resistance to bending, while the Friction Lock mechanism secures the baton in the extended position through tapered friction surfaces. The textured Type H rubber grip supports secure handling. A BH-55 rotating holster with the Quick Change system is included.
The telescoping shafts are manufactured from seamless, cold-drawn C55E steel and hardened to provide high mechanical strength. The baton measures 660 mm when extended and 260 mm when collapsed. Its weight is 540 g.
A rapid swing extends the telescoping shafts and locks their tapered contact surfaces together through friction. The baton is collapsed by releasing the lock with a vertical strike of the tip against a hard, solid surface.
The Type H rubber grip features a pronounced non-slip texture that promotes a secure hold and reduces the risk of the baton being pulled from the user’s hand. According to the manufacturer, the rubber compound is suitable for prolonged skin contact.
The steel components are protected by a black nickel-zinc finish that provides good abrasion resistance while maintaining the baton’s discreet black appearance.
The included BH-55 polymer holster features a UBC-05 belt clip and the Quick Change system. It can be rotated through 360° without tools and secured in 16 positions to suit different carry preferences. The Quick Change interface allows a compatible ESP holster to be replaced while the belt clip remains attached.
