TASER Pulse Self-Defense Kit - Includes 2 Cartridges, 1 Soft Carry Sleeve, and 1 Conductive Practice Target - Protect Yourself with Confidence

I purchased a cheaper alternative and regretted it. The Taser pulse is lightweight and the cartridges are good quality and consistent if you need it you know it will work.UPDATE**I've been wearing this Taser Pulse daily for a year now and no problems so far. I sometimes carry the X2 but for the most part the Pulse meets my needs. I wrote a longer review on the X2 if anyone is undecided on which one they would like. So far the battery is still good even with the monthly spark test and very little scuffing considering it stays in the holster. I noticed there were some comments on the price and all I really can say is how much is your life worth? The pulse is good for a single attacker and can be a deterrent for multiple attackers and the 30 second runtime is more than enough for you to get to safety. I would recommend for anyone who is not comfortable with carrying a firearm and would like a non-lethal alternative.

It's nearly perfect for my needs. My only concern is the body of the taser feels very cheap. I'm a small transgender girl and I feel like I could crush the handle in my grip. Also the battery/ capacitor was rattling around inside when I got it. I took the foam from the packaging and shoved that in the hole to stop the noise. Don't get me wrong, it's a good device and if it saves my life ill be eternally grateful. But if I drop it in a critical moment and it breaksl?...

Police grade. Battery isn't replaceable. Be warned

Easy to use and handle. High quality. Accurate and powerful. Simply compact and amazing tool. I feel safe to travel with it. Ended up buying 3. Thanks!!!

I bought this December 2022 and it broke in April 2023 after I dropped it one time on my floor from about 4 feet. I sent it in to Axon for repairs, and they replaced it for free within 3 weeks.Cons:Price- The only technology of value is the projectile cartridges, the gun itself is very delicate and made of cheap plastic. It's worth, on its own, $75 max. There are competitors on Amazon, and I'm sure elsewhere on the Internet, for 1/10th of the price. You're paying for the brand here for sure.Durability- After one short drop, it stopped functioning. I bought a replacement battery on Amazon, and swapped out the cartridge to no avail. I had to go to Axon's Returns website and ship it to them. The frame/gun is not durable. For $400, they needlessly made a delicate product.Capacity- you get one shot. Unlike a handgun or the Byrna SD, you get one shot with the Pulse. If you think that you may be attacked by more than one assailant, you better get a gun (check out the Sig P365 or Ruger LCP II)Pros:Weight- this thing is so light. I have a small 9mm which weighs 5 times as much as this CEW. One of the redeeming factors of the Pulse being made of cheap plastic.Peace of mind- I feel much better letting my wife carry this around than a gun. I don't keep "one in the chamber" in my handgun because of my fear that it will accidentally discharge, but this reduces my ability to react quickly to a dangerous situation. With a Pulse, you merely have to switch off the safety to use the CEW.Legality- In Texas, you cannot (even with a license-to-carry, see Section 46.03 of the Texas Penal Code) bring a gun to a bar, school (including school events such as sports), court building, prisons, hospitals, amusement parks, and some other places. This does not apply to stun guns like Taser (see DPS's website or Section 46.01(3) of the Texas Penal Code). If you're a teacher, this would be one of your only options in terms of self-defense projectiles and definitely the smallest/lightest. And if you're going to bars late at night or in seedy areas, this would also be one of your only options.

Good for the moments you don't need a gun, but you need more than a pointy stick.

This would be my third purchase of the taser pulse and absolutely my favorite color. The most important thing I believe is the new battery setup. The batteries were easy to install and all you have to do is order off of Amazon when you need new ones. I went ahead on ordered a 10 pack so I would be ready when needed. I know it's a lot of money to spend but how much is your security or your familys security worth? I absolutely trust this as my everyday carry to protect my family.

I have not had to use this on anyone, fortunately. It has been rugged enough to withstand a three and a half foot drop onto a carpeted floor a couple of times, but I wouldn't bet on it for a sidewalk. The battery is holding up pretty well. My main complaint is that the butt tip of the gun, which is removable so you can change the battery - it has fallen off several times now. The last time was today, when I got out of my car (I had the taser gun in a waist holster), the butt tip brushed against the car seat and came right off. I didn't find out the butt tip was missing until several hours later. I found it - it was laying on the car seat. Had I not, though, it would render the taser gun pretty useless. The battery is quite loose inside. My solution has been to tape the butt tip to the gun handle with yellow tape to ensure it doesn't keep falling off. The yellow tape at least matches the yellow section of the taser, and with more yellow, it at least won't be mistaken for a firearm. But come on, Taser Pulse people, make a better butt tip!
