Closed it measures \u003cstrong\u003e190 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e; fully extended it reaches \u003cstrong\u003e410 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e, at a weight of \u003cstrong\u003e413 g\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe construction uses seamless cold-drawn steel tubes to the ČSN 12 060 specification, with decreasing diameters: \u003cstrong\u003e21 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e at the handle, \u003cstrong\u003e16 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e at the mid section, and \u003cstrong\u003e11 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e at the tip. Rockwell hardness increases progressively along the baton — \u003cstrong\u003e47 ± 2 HRC\u003c\/strong\u003e at the handle, \u003cstrong\u003e49 ± 2 HRC\u003c\/strong\u003e at the centre, \u003cstrong\u003e51 ± 2 HRC\u003c\/strong\u003e at the tip — so the grip end remains relatively tough whilst the striking end is the hardest, concentrating energy precisely where it is needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Easy Lock system deploys with a single wrist flick and holds the sections extended without play, but does not feature automatic push-button collapse: retraction is performed manually against a firm surface. This trade-off suits operators who need to be certain the baton stays open during use, at the cost of a rapid safe-close. The black nickel-zinc finish resists oxidation without requiring ongoing maintenance; the textured «H»-pattern grip reduces rotation in the hand even with a wet palm. The baton conforms to German standards for telescopic batons, verified by MPA Hannover. In Italy, Article 4 of Law 110\/1975 governs the carrying and possession of offensive implements: check the required authorisations before purchasing or transporting this item.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeamless cold-drawn steel with progressive hardness: the handle absorbs grip forces, the tip concentrates impact energy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtended length of \u003cstrong\u003e410 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e from a closed length of only \u003cstrong\u003e190 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e: carries in a compact holster without compromising operational reach.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow weight of \u003cstrong\u003e413 g\u003c\/strong\u003e for a balance that does not burden the belt during extended shifts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasy Lock system holds firmly in the open position: eliminates the risk of unintentional collapse during use, with controlled manual retraction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMPA Hannover certification and compliance with German standards for telescopic batons.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIn the box\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eESP Hardened Baton 18\" Easy Lock telescopic baton\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBHT-55 rotating holster\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ESP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63798868574538,"sku":"EXBT18HBl","price":100.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0026\/3920\/0291\/files\/75896_90e142c9-17f0-4424-bc38-b56f4483e31e.jpg?v=1791147886","url":"https:\/\/www.vipertactical.it\/en\/products\/esp-hardened-baton-18-easy-lock-telescopic-baton-black","provider":"Viper Tactical ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
