Carry it weapon-side at 4 o'clock if you're using this.
If you prefer a rotating scabbard, get an ASP Federal Scabbard and carry it either at 4 o'clock weapon side, or 11 o'clock on abdomen, at approx 45 degrees, baton-base facing your weapon hand side.
Although some people like them, I do not carry or advise side-break scabbards. My baton will stay in hand and drawn until there is no threat. If I can't safely close the baton and move to initiate a controlled detainment, there is no reason for my baton to leave my hand.

Further opinion, I would grab the baton or taser 1000x before even looking at spray. That shit is great for dogs because they don't know how to wipe you. Otherwise, fuck that. I'm not trying to fight in some WWI-trench-gas, lungs-burning scenario if I can avoid it.
