google "taser brand or taser int" they are the best hands down. the x26 (police model) will set ya back between $700-$1000. the one i would recommend is also by taser, but will only cost you about $350 or so its the one you can buy at academy sporting goods and i think even cabelas and ****'s sporting goods sell them as well. i have not used one, but info ive read i would buy it if i was in the market. i think its called the c2.
Funny how D_ck's sporting goods is blanked out for being profanity. Must be hell on their internet marketing. :biggrin:
Lighting and lazing a agressor will often result in them hesitating or breaking off an attack.
No stats. Only anecdotal experiance. I should have typed that I was stating opinion and not fact. Good catch.Got any stats on lighting up an aggressor? Most would shoot probably.
Dragon,
I think many people confuse Tasers for the more common "stun guns". The Taser C2 that I carry, and the X26, have several features that the cheaper generic "stun guns" may lack.
First is what i see as the deterence features which are the intergrated LED lights and aiming laser. Most criminals are looking for a unarmed or easy target. Lighting and lazing a agressor will often result in them hesitating or breaking off an attack.
Second, while they are short range devices, they do have more range than a baton or cane. You mentioned stand off distance. The Taser C2 has a range of 15 feet. That's close but not as close as they would get with the options you mentioned. Even if the probes fail to hit their mark and the agressor closes the distance you still have the drive stun option at contact ranges.
As you corectly pointed out, they are one shot devices. Multiple threats are possible but single aggressors are probably much more likely. Of course, if multiple agressors confront me I'm not relying soly on my one shot Taser. I have other options (Pistol, OC spray, knife, etc...) Some people choose to keep a second firing cartridge on hand and plan on doing a fast reload if possible. Others choose to carry secondary devices such as OC spray or deploy a firearm should the Taser fail to stop the threat. I personally see my Taser as a accessory to my daily carry firearm which gives me options to using deadly force. It's not a replacement for the pistol but a tool I can use in addition to the pistol as the needs dictate.
I would get the Taser x26. I had to get shot with one in the academy, it was the most painful 5 seconds of my life
