ASP Baton for EDC, Off-Duty, On-Duty - Pt 1- Link Below

[@XxxAtlantaxxX]

I miss you James. One of my life's biggest regrets is I never got to meet and be trained by you. You're still one of the greats. 👍💯

[@magicmikeheller]

Thank you for this video. Sent one of these to my wife deployed overseas a few weeks back, to carry on base due to some issues they been having. Will look into adding one here at home. Also your speech don't seem too bad to me. You definitely talk better in front of a camera better than 90% of the country

Had my Galco "Miami Vice" holster for G17 since '91, Solid product, and my favorite CC method for formal occasions with jackets, ties and tucked shirts, where IWB/OWB would likely print. Super comfy, too; the spare mags perfectly balance the weight of the pistol.

[@gordonadams4793]

Thanks for your service👌

[@laramiefrank479]

Recently got the short 16 inch asp and it's a very handy tool.

[@j.p.thearmoredchef]

Is there a “Fighting Baton” class coming soon?

[@TacticalResponseCrew]

Hmm...

[@DesignDaddy]

Used to carry one just like yours when I worked campus security in the 90s. I miss that thing.

[@independentrealist6817]

I own a few baton's those look very practical for carry good information.

Can you do a video on drawing with a shoulder holster?

I have.

I’d like to see baton videos from what you mentioned: strikes, pokes, take downs ect..... I think it’ll make great content. Best.

[@sunnycat69]

I had a leverage cap on mine 💚

[@camachado4]

I was told that in CA it is illegal for non law enforcement to own a baton like that. This is great information.

[@TacticalResponseCrew]

It might be. Ask an expert (NOT a Cop).

[@Trigggwolf]

i feel like this is providence, just yesterday I was looking at getting a small ASP to add to my EDC.

[@mattberry4457]

i remember when we switched from the pr24 to the monadnock. so much better. i really like that belt and will order one. i bought one of those key defenders around thirty years ago and will get a new one because i doubt that i can find the old one. as soon as i get the new one the old one will miraculously show up.

[@cpiper6338]

Saw your 2nd video on the ASP first and had to pull this one up 'cause I was surprised how easily you were closing the baton. Now I get it. Push button to retract. I just don't know if that would be as sturdy as the original friction ASP baton for thrusting strikes. Very informative, though, and brings back some memories. Thanks, James.

[@glock-hm3ro]

James- would love to hear more on the collapsible batons...

Finally you demo something I already have. Had my Galco rig since 92. Originally for Beretta, Sig now. Still have my asp and PR24 as well.

Come on James, we all know that pistol whipping someone is a less lethal use of a firearm.

How to remove the clip from ASP Agent?

[@ulf3303]

Wish these were legal to carry in my state. I think Tasers are off the table, too. You would think they would want people to have as many less than lethal options to protect themselves as possible but guess not.

[@bradbarley6639]

Great informational video. Yes... Please do some more. 👍

[@kcher]

ASP videos would definitely be appreciated.

[@wardroland270]

Thanks JY. Great job. Good info.

[@maxspath]

Always good to have more options, my dad used to carry one of those older style Asps.

[@3Pillers]

Belt as an improvised weapon 👍. Expandable batons and pocket sticks 👍

[@mobrien7211]

I had one years ago, confiscated in NY during a traffic stop, it was in the glove box pulled out my insurance card, cop freaked out saying he's going to arrest me for having a deadly weapon. He took it instead

[@MikeyACH2]

Would love to see a video about properly adjusting a shoulder holster from new. I can never quite get mine to stay where it needs to be. I've been driving for work a lot lately, and have been using it over my belt holster.

[@TacticalResponseCrew]

Watch my video.

[@arthurfleck8777]

And loving the shoulder holster. If they're good enough for James Bond and Dirty Harry, they're good enough for me.

[@jeffroman2352]

Through muy Thai I conditioned my legs and everything to all kinds of strikes. I never been hit with a baton tho kind of want to try it now.

[@TacticalResponseCrew]

Your nerves cannot be conditioned.

[@LucianLacroix]

Yes more asp videos. Asps are cool.

[@gawasi8897]

Yes please for more videos about these. Good stuff, thanks

[@biggus8825]

I remember I carried a pr-24, beat the crap out of me when you had to run with it on. Loved my asp but had to hammer it to shut it. Push button looks much better.

[@proguninc4080]

Great video as always James. 👍 Thank you.

[@TacticalResponseCrew]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@jaydenhall3411]

Do a video in the shoulder rig!

[@TacticalResponseCrew]

I have.

[@flyboy8752]

I’m 💯 percent positive they figured size 38 would account for you carrying an IWB pistol (or two 😜) and spare mag(s), so need some extra space for all that. Yep. That’s it. 😉

Like the video James. More videos on this topic do interest me

whats your on opinion on side handle vs collapsible?

[@fadugleman]

James, do you have problems with the galco riding up too high in the back so it shows over your collar? I do with mine. Maybe it’s a height thing

More baton videos, please.

Soon!

[@PSmith-xi1zr]

Waiting for surefire to make a flashlight asp. ; )

[@ghostoftheemishi8445]

Hell yeah ! I have a baton I believe In my state as long as you have a ccw You can have other type weapons which Honestly only makes sense. I practice like every other night with it But as a martial artist like I can use nunchucks really well like I can throw those in my bag just because I fucking love it . But just like the book of five rings don’t have a bunch of useless weapons Or ones you don’t use or are not practical The thing I love about the baton is you can literally just throw it in your pocket bag while you walk to check mail walk to store I have mine on my 511 family medical bag . Also speaking of which I got that magpul Belt very good I see no one using them though but honestly what I’m trying to do is mix tactical but casual cool blended together. Like say I got 511 pants with a air Jordan’s shirt magpul belt viktos hat And shoes and sling bag. But I’m Literally a tactical ninja and nobody would know like a neomag clip nothing on my belt but a gun I have 4 mags on me two knives three tactical pens a tourniquet a flashlight bulletproof vest bag and I mean you would never know . With Gucci glasses baby lmao like a damn recon ninja so basically I’m staying away from military and making my own urban ninja style Love it . Thanks for the video always 🤙🏼💮

[@jcbassoon220]

I use to carry an asp when I worked corrections. I hated guys who carried OC. Always believed OC was an outside toy, or if you really hate yourself.

[@TacticalResponseCrew]

AGREED!

[@CainnechK]

Nah u get used to OC. Im to the point where i kinda like indirect contact with it. (15 years in corrections)

[@EQ9962]

Agree. Was sprayed by my partner many years ago while dealing with a less than cooperative suspect. Oh man did that suck…

[@TacticalResponseCrew]

It still shuts your eyes.

[@CainnechK]

@@TacticalResponseCrew i suppose, in my experience it really only affects ur eyes if u get a direct shot. I will say it sucks rolling around on a cell floor covered in it during a cell extraction tho, skins on fire for hours. Other then that indirect exposure just causes some coughing

[@jerryrigger3040]

A 38 belt would fit me perfectly ; )

[@jerryrigger3040]

P.S. i have an old ASP with the light, but i don't think carrying it is legal in Indiana.

[@bhoges5145]

I have been carrying the ASP in my department for close to 20 years. I'm not a fan. It doesn't have enough mass to do much damage. I would rather carry a cocobola.

[@TacticalResponseCrew]

You obviously do not understand how they work. It is about disrupting the nerves and short term soft tissue damage. It's not about breaking bone or other long term damage.

[@jeremyeicke3682]

So I know that baton comes in 30 cm, 40 cm, and 50 cm. When you said 40 was your fav does that mean just out of those two or do you think the 40 is also better for than 50 cm. Asking as a civilian that can legally carry one in plain clothes. Thank you !

[@wesclark3728]

I think longer ASPs can be a disadvantage in tight quarters. Smaller ASPs are less effective. It's good to find the golden mean.

[@platinumhandymansolutions]

I would love to see a video of Yeager beating up a thug with that belt.

[@kilokilo34]

As alumni I have a quick question. I know you are not an attorney and offering legal advice but...You had stated in this video that pepper spray is never lethal force. Does that mean that if I’m attacked by a criminal that pepper sprays me that I cannot use deadly force in fear for me and my families life? Because if I can’t see and breathe I cannot protect my family. Or is it intent on killing my family that allows me to protect them?

[@TacticalResponseCrew]

Correct. Police are taught to fight through it. I can teach you too.

Quote of the day…”you can take this belt off and beat the crap out of someone with it.” #truth

[@danielmarshall4587]

Oh dear, you say "check your state laws". Well....here in Blighty, guess what, your "tool-weapon" video springs to mind. Extending batons give the people in charge an angry face and the rank & file are not allowed them, they may even be in the PROHIBITED WEAPONS category. Again Mr Yeager thank you for another good video and every continued success and happiness to you and yours.
