The Byrna SD and LE are compact non-lethal personal security devices developed by Byrna Technologies Inc. NASDAQ:BYRN. We believe these launchers to be the safest, most effective and most reliable non-lethal self-defense weapons on the market today. The Byrna’s ergonomic design and patented 1st shot pull-pierce technology, makes these launchers easy to use whether you are a private citizen or a seasoned law enforcement professional.

The Byrna handheld launchers can fire a range of .68 caliber projectiles from environmentally friendly practice rounds, to hard polymer (kinetic) rounds that can be used for training or self-defense, to chemical irritant rounds designed for self-defense. These chemical irritant rounds are engineered to burst upon impact, dispersing a cloud of powerful pepper and/or tear gas powder capable of disabling an attacker for up to 30 minutes.

The Byrna compact size and line of custom-made holsters and carry bags, makes the Byrna easy to take with you wherever you go. More importantly, with its patented “1st shot pull-pierce” technology, the Byrna is always ready to use. You can leave it in your nightstand, glovebox or by your front door for days, weeks, months or even years and it will always be ready to fire on the first pull of the trigger.

The Byrna range of launchers are manufactured from the highest quality glass-reinforced polymers and aircraft grade aluminum. They contain more than 100 precision parts, and incorporates patented technology that allows the Byrna to operate very much like a real firearm. The Byrna is the ideal choice whether you use it for training and self-defense or simply backyard fun.

No. Byrna Less-Lethal Self-Defense Pistols and Rifles are powered by compressed CO2 cartridges, just like a paintball or airsoft gun.

We recommend that you always check state and local regulations relating to CO2 powered launchers and pepper self-defense products before traveling with your Byrna. If you are unsure you can check with the local police department. For air travel questions see below.

Byrna handheld pistols are roughly the size of a compact 9mm handgun. We sell tactical holsters that have been custom designed to comfortably hold your Byrna as well as nylon holsters designed for compact 9mm handguns. Please see the Product Documents Page for more info.

The minimum age to purchase a Byrna is 18 years old.
