Abstract: A baton holder, or clip, is particularly adapted for use with expandable batons or the type including a handle and one or more telescoping sections. The clip includes upper and lower retaining rings attached to a base member. The upper retaining ring slidably receives the handle. The lower retaining ring is a truncated conical section, which limits downward axial movement of the handle, while at the same time allowing passage of the telescoping sections from the handle, if extended. The expandable baton is held by the clip in either an extended or retracted position. Both the upper and lower retaining rings include longitudinal breaks, through which the baton may be broken out laterally, again with the baton either extended or retracted.
