There
are many tactical gear manufacturers out there, amid them all, one name that
has made a mark for itself is ASP. Founded back in 1976 in Appleton, Wisconsin,
USA, by Kevin Parsons; the forced compliance weapons manufacturer Armament
Systems and Procedures (ASP Inc.) provides gear and equipment to law enforcing
agencies and security companies worldwide.
Known
best for its telescoping batons, ASP produces a list of products, which include
tactical batons, handcuffs, lighting, OC products and training. Most law
enforcement agencies and private security providers, who have handled ASP tactical gear rate ASP gear highly for its convenience, portability,
effectiveness and psychological impact.
Besides
other quality gear, ASP batons enjoy the most market penetration. Police
personal and security officials tend to choose ASP batons above other batons.
With made in US tag as one of its advantage, the ASP batons make, styling,
handling and impact make it highly demandable. Although there are more
economical batons produced in Taiwan, Japan, Korea and India, but none have the prowess to match
the ASP baton performance ability, moreover none of the other baton (except
ASP) meet specifications established by the Federal Law Enforcement and
military organizations in United States of America and Canada.
If
you want to purchase an ASP baton for personal use, you need to ensure it’s
legal in your state. You can assure the same through a little research on the
internet or by calling your local police department. Ensuring it legality of
use beforehand will save you a lot of time and trouble of having to send the
ASP baton back.
ASP
is continuously adding more and more products to its line of tactical products.
Some of the recently designed and produced products are non-police standard,
and are tailor made for civilians.
