This thing is no joke!!! After testing it in my garage, i feel that it is a viable carry option...and i don't just trust any bullshit gimmick when my life is on the line. After witnessing what the solid projectiles did to the piece of particle board i was using as a backstop??? You can officially label me a "byrna believer". I will be buying a few more in future weeks

I got the kit (pink, of course) for my wife as a surprise - she loves it! Just ordered more gas canisters and training ammo.
The gun itself feels very comfortable and easy to operate. She’ll keep it in her purse for walking from office to car as her office is in a bad neighborhood

Extremely potent! A round accidently broke in my Byrna and the effects of the powder were VERY painful on me.
My face was on fire for a couple of hours and when trying to wash it off, the pain only got worse.
You NEED to be very careful carrying these in the Byrna. I suggest having one solid Kinetic round in the chamber and 4 Byrna Max rounds in the magazine to minimize accidental damage. They are fragile.

Super glad I waited for the LE edition. The larger capacity magazine and CO2 cartridge are fantastic upgrades. The force is significant! After firing one kinetic round into a pellet trap I immediately said, “ JESUS, wasn’t expecting that!” The rail allows you to add attachments such as a laser or flashlight. I plan on using mine mostly while backpacking/camping. Sometimes on the trail I encounter individuals who are not exactly sober. And alone 5 Miles into a hike isn’t the place you want to have someone giving you a hard time. As a person of color who spends a lot of time in the woods I highly recommend keeping a Byrna at your side

Got to say it's a very well made self defense product.. even though it's not a firearm you need to carry and conceal as it was. Had it for about a month and already had to protect my family with it on New year's night about 3am confused drunk individual came knocking at our front back door yelling to let them in..... got up grabbed my byrna and wanted for things to deescalate.. they did but was very confident having my byrna at hand with me... I take it it everywhere I go concealed.

The very best non- lethal alternative on the market. It is fun to target practice. I feel that in California, I have to be creative in what I do to protect family and property. The kenetic alternative will do it for now. thank you Bryan for the genius it took to create this, and the marketing to get it out there and known.

I got this for my wife, as she is definitely the "Ungun" center of mass demographic Byrna is seeking. It arrived on time, and was securely packed. The pictures and videos available simply don't capture the quality and precision of the construction.
Moving on to firing was easy. As there is no recoil, and discharge sound, getting "rounds" on target was quite easy. FYI... The fixed sights are accurate. Having some tritium dots would be nice, but are not needed. Be sure to get plenty of kinetic rounds and CO2 cartridges, as you will end up shooting this more than you thought you would.

while the opportunity to deploy them against bipeds yet, they work well against feral raccoons, also as a side note, there is a company called AMMO ARMOR that makes sleeves to cover your magazines to keep dirt out in transport. The Glock 22 sleeves work great on the BYRNA magazines. They protect the rounds and as with regular magazines keeps the dirt out.

I am a travel nurse that lives to hike, run, explore the outdoors. Having a Byrna on me now gives me the confidence that I will be safe. I did some practice shooting with it and it is very powerful, easy to handle, and looks real. So glad I have it now.
