Abstract
A cover for an expandable baton handle is injection molded onto the handle to provide an integral, unitary handle cover for the baton handle. The baton handle is further provided with locking rings or grooves at opposite ends. The grooves cooperate with ridges provided on the cover in a mating relationship to prevent the cover from moving relative to the baton handle.
