The specs that matter
Voltage: ignore it; the numbers on packaging are not comparable across brands and do not predict effect. Rechargeable: every model here charges by USB or a fold-out plug; no batteries to replace. Safety: a switch or a squeeze mechanism that prevents discharge in a bag. Grip: a ring or wrist strap keeps the device in the hand. Extras: alarm and flashlight if you want one device.
Charging and care
Charge fully on arrival, then monthly. Test the arc for one second, away from the body, monthly. Keep the contacts clean. Do not store in a hot car for months. Detail: charging and care.
Stun guns are restricted or prohibited in several states and cities. This page is not legal advice; Self Defense Supply publishes a stun gun rules-by-state guide with statute citations. Read yours before ordering.
