A one piece staff is a pain, just about as often as it is useful ... but I
simply MUST have it when I need it, my knee is that bad .. so I put up
with
it the rest of the time

As much as I hate to admit it ... and I really really hate it ... I'm
thinking of getting the SIMMS staff ... it's too damn long, but looks like
it can actually be folded up and gotten out of the way, except when
needed,
then looks plenty strong to be up to the task


I don't know why you hate to admit it, I switched from the folstaff to the
Simms model years ago, it's a little bit of a pain getting it back into the
holster but it's easier to use and i've never had it give on me plus it's
much easier to fold back when done.
