Streetwise SW400 Stun Gun - Product Close Up

Sometimes a product comes along that seems right for just about anyone. Such is the Streetwise SW400 stun gun. It's styled in the typical stun gun fashion. It is modestly sized. At just under five inches tall, it's easy to hold and operate. The voltage supplied is 400K, strong enough to do the job but not over the top.

The SW400 features three safety procedures. First the supplied wrist strap pin must be inserted into the body of the unit. With the strap around the wrist, an attacker cannot grab the gun away from the intended victim and use it on that person. Once the pin comes out, the stun gun becomes inoperable.

Second the unit must be turned on. This is accomplished by sliding the switch on the side of the case to the first position. Third, to fire the stun gun, the rocker switch must be pushed. This is easily accomplished because your forefinger falls right to the switch. These procedures show careful thinking by the designers. You want the stun gun to fire reliably in an emergency situation, but not otherwise.

As if that were enough, Streetwise obliterates the competition with still more features. When the on-off switch is pushed ot he second postion,, a loud chriping alarm sounds. The alarm alone may be able to scare away an intruder.

The Streetwise SW400 comes with a nylon case with belt loop. For a "quick draw" clip the stun gun on your waistband with the attached belt clip.

The unit comes with a lifetime warranty. You get a lot with this unit and we have an unbeatable price. Just go to the Streetwise SW200 page and upgrade to the SW400.

Taylor Swift and Stun Gun Supply

During a recent air flight, I happened to pick up the Delta Sky magazine. There I found a interview with country-pop sensation Taylor Swift. What really caught my eye was one of the questions she was asked and her response. The questioner asked what her current personal fears were. Her answer:

"I am scared, honestly, of anything happening to my family or my friends. I am also scared of being alone in a dark parking lot and walking to my car."

How many times have I heard that concern over the phone from my customers! This is exactly what motivated me to open Stun Gun Supply, to help even the odds in a dangerous encounter. A pepper spray canister, a cell phone stun gun, a personal alarm, a TASER, all these products can play a big part in reducing fear to a manageable level.

When you are walking alone to your car at night or driving through a scary part of the city, you must be prepared. In these situations you must have your hand on the device you intend to use. Yes, it must be armed and ready to fire in an emergency!

Let Stun Gun Supply be your personal supplier of all things safety related. We have a special price right now on one of our favorite self defense devices, the SM-Cell phone stun gun. It looks like a cell phone but it's actually a stun gun with a built-in flashlight and alarm. WOW! It's an arsenal that fits in your palm.

So even a celebrity like Taylor Swift fears a dark parking lot. You are not alone. We can all agree that it's better to be prepared than sorry.

Lightning Rod Stun Pens

It's not everyday that a new product comes along that causes a buzz in the office. After all, they've seen it all, many of which we decide not to carry in our webstore. It doesn't seem that long ago that we reviewed the Streetwise LR800 Lightning Rod Stun Pen. What's a stun pen? Well, think of it as a mini sun baton. It's no bigger than those smallish halogen flashlights. It's about six inches long and just under an inch in diameter. It uses low drain LEDs and it's quite bright.

But of course, we're not Flashlight Supply, we're Stun Gun Supply so yes, it is also a stun gun. You take off the tip cover, turn the switch to stun and with a push of a button you've got 800,000 volts of stopping power. It's powered by two CR123A batteries that are included.

We were pretty impressed because, first, your assailant won't suspect that flashlight is really a personal defense weapon. Secondly, it's got a slim new shape, one you could store almost anywhere. We liked it and still do. Sales have been brisk since it's introduction.

Now we're all buzzing again because Streetwise has sent us the latest Lightning Rod model, the LR1200 stun pen. This one is even stronger than the LR800 and is rechargeable. That does away with battery replacements. Those lithium type batteries, though very long lasting, can be somewhat pricey to replace. No such worries with the LR1200R.

Do we love this one? Yep! It's cute as a bug and so easy to hold and maneuver in the hand. It's got a lot going for it and we're recommending it to the undecided customers who want something new and different.

Product Review: Stun Master Cell Phone Stun Gun

Few consumer stun guns are most popular than the "cell phone" simulated style. The Stun Master red cell phone stun gun "SM-Cell Red" has been a best seller on my site. Here you can go "stealth" because someone bent on assault will not know your innocent looking red cell phone is really an 800,000 volt stun gun. Needles to say, this unit does not operate as a real cell phone.

The Stun Master cell phone stun gun comes in red or blue. The unit is 4.5 inch tall X 1.75 inches wide X 1 inch thick. It comes with a soft holster with a snap snap loop on the back. The unit can be operated while in the holster. Measurements are marginally more with the product in the holster. The colored front face contains a screen at top about 1 1/4" square with a sky and cloud picture that simulates a Windows type environment.

The device is operated first by turning on the safety switch located on the side of the unit. Then a red LED lights indicating the on status. The stunning effect is activated by pressing a center silver button above the keyboard display. Like all stun guns of this type, you must touch the assailant's body to complete the stun effect.

The red cell phone stun gun requires two lithium type CR123A batteries. It is a well made unit for the type and cost. One word of caution. After you use the stun gun and your assailant is dazed and confused, don't stand there looking at your handy work. The stun effect is temporary with no lasting harm. Run, don't walk, to safety.

New Item - SGS-2800KV Compact Stun Gun

Looking for a strong and effective self defense product? Stun Gun Supply is now offering the Stingray SGS-2800KV mini stun gun to the general public. This non-lethal crime deterrent carries a 2,800,000 volt rating, the highest power rating in the industry thus far. Like all stun guns, the amperage is very low so it leaves no lasting effect on the individual. It gives the user enough time to get away, and that is what they are designed to do.

Mini, micro and compact stun guns are the hot trend in personal defense products. They are easy to stow and their mini size allows covert operation. The black Stingray 2800KV unit measures only 4 1/4 inches high, 2 inches wide and a depth of just under 2 inches. So the device can easily fit in a hand bag, glove compartment or shirt or pants pocket. It comes with a black nylon holster with attached belt loop.

The unit contains a nickel-cadmium rechargeable power supply so no batteries are needed. The fold-down plugs are integrated in the unit so there is no separate charging cord to possibly lose. A bi-monthly 5 hour charge ensures a full charge when needed.

The Stingray features a large and bright built in LED that is situated between the electrodes. You operate the flashlight by sliding the on-off switch to the first "on" position. To operate the stun effect, you slide the switch to the next position and then press the button directly above the switch. Careful! If you are not used to high powered stun guns, you will be surprised by the loud crackle and strong spark emitted from this unit. We also advise not looking directly into the bright spark.

A problem that exists with these small units is the smooth shiny plastic finish. They are sometimes difficult to hold on to especially in a stressful hand sweating situation. The Stingray SGS-2800KV solves this problem by using a proprietary rubberized coating that provides a non-slip surface.

Stun guns work by disrupting the normal nerve impulses to the muscles. When activated and applied directly to a person’s skin or clothing, the muscles work rapidly but inefficiently. This rapid work cycle depletes blood sugar by converting it to lactic acid all in the space of a few seconds. This energy loss makes it difficult to move or function. Second, the disrupted nerve impulses cause loss of balance, confusion and disorientation. The low amperage of stun guns ensures that the effect is short lived with no injuries.

We're favorably impressed with the mini Stingray 2,800,000 volt stun gun. It's easy to operate and the somewhat weighty feel leaves an impression of high quality. When we test fired the unit in the air, we were surprised at the very strong crackling spark. It makes a distinct visual and auditory impression.

To us, it makes no sense to under-arm yourself with a low powered device. You don't know the size and strength of a would-be attacker so it's better to have enough power to quickly deter any unwanted advances. We can't see power ratings going much further with present technology so the model SGS-2800KV stun gun will not become out-of-date anytime soon.

Stun guns are permitted for citizen use in most states. As of this writing, stun guns may not be shipped to HI, MA, MI, NJ, NY, RI, CT, WI, IL. Also prohibited are Annapolis MD, Baltimore, MD, Washington DC and Philadelphia.

Self Defense Do's and Dont's

Do as much as you can to avoid a confrontation - "anticipation and avoidance" are the key words. If you get caught up in a situation, try to talk to an aggressor without provoking them. Practice relaxation, as appearing fearful or stressed can actually provoke an attack. Remember that body language is important in aggressive situations, so maintain a comfortable distance between you and the aggressor.

Use a gas or electronic attack alarm, as these give out a short piercing sound and will temporarily disorientate an attacker, giving you enough time to escape. Carry it somewhere where you can get to it quickly - don't leave it buried at the bottom of your bag. If you don't have an alarm, just make a noise yourself by screaming as loud as you can, or shouting "call the police" - if you're loud enough this can be just as effective as a personal alarm. If you have an alarm, use it and shout as well.

Steady yourself if danger threatens. Panic can disable you, so again it’s useful to learn how to keep control in a difficult situation. And if you must fight back, adopt what police term the "bash and dash" approach. Primary targets are the eyes, nose, mouth, ears, throat, groin, knees or shins; choose whichever is easiest to get to.

If held from behind don't struggle forward, you'll only exhaust yourself. Instead throw yourself backwards to surprise your attacker or stomp on the lower leg or foot.

You have the right to defend yourself with reasonable force and this includes using items you have with you such as an umbrella, bag, briefcase or keys. However, don't carry or use anything that the law would regard as an offensive weapon. Once you've achieved your primary aim of stunning or surprising your attacker, get away as fast as you can. If you manage to overcome them don't attack again, you could be putting yourself in more danger or you could end up being charged with assault.

These are just the very basics of self-defense, but to learn more about it and get some exercise at the same time, find a local self-defense class and encourage your family along to join you. Just remember "anticipation and avoidance" are the best forms of defense.

The Pepper Shot PS-6 Self Defense Kit gives you three pepper spray forms for car, home and person. We recommend it to anyone interested in their own self defense. Pepper spray works!
