The Rapid Containment Baton (RCB) is a re-thinking of the expandable baton from Peacekeeper Products International. The RCB offers several potential improvements when compared to batons from ASP and Monadnock including a thicker handle for easier grip and the weight on the striking end, not in the handle.
Aaron was able to get a great demonstration of the RCB at the 2012 SHOT Show:

Love my rcb! Been carrying mine since September 2010. Only problem I’ve come come across is the retention clip snapping off, I’m on my fourth one.
You guys leave me green with envy when I see this stuff. Enjoy the new toy/tool, god knows I’d have a field day playing with that.
The best baton out there! Mine bent ever so slightly during a vicious fight, just enough so I could not collapse it again. It was replaced quickly with no problems. I’d never carry any other skinny baton after seeing other guys warp theirs only after a few hits. Try holding an impact bag while a partner hits it full power with a RCB and then an ASP or other brand. There is a difference!
