The Trigger Design Makes More Sense Than You’d Expect
Most stun guns have a button you press. Under stress, finding a button on the side of a device while your hands are shaking is harder than it sounds. The Trigger addresses that directly. The pistol-style grip puts your finger naturally on the trigger mechanism — the same motion you’d use to grip any handle results in firing the stun. You don’t have to think about where the button is.
The disable pin works on the same principle the Runt uses — a wrist strap connects to a pin in the device. If the Trigger is grabbed from you or falls, the pin pulls free and the device is dead. It won’t fire for whoever has it, which is a meaningful safety feature for a stun gun.
Who This Stun Gun Is For
People who want a stun gun that’s simple to operate the first time without a lot of practice. The trigger design is intuitive — if you’ve ever held a tool with a trigger mechanism, you already know how to use this one. That makes it a solid choice for people who want something reliable without spending a lot of time training with it.
The flashlight is bright enough to be genuinely useful. Night shift workers, people who do a lot of outdoor evening walking, anyone who wants a dual-purpose light and protection tool — the Trigger handles both without compromise. At 100 lumens it can light a pathway or illuminate a car interior, not just serve as a dim indicator.
Six color options including black, blue, pink, purple, red, and zebra print. The holster is included, so you can wear it on a belt if you’d rather not pocket it.
Is This the Right Choice for You?
Choose the Trigger if you want:
- An intuitive trigger-pull design that doesn’t require memorizing button placement
- A disable pin that protects you if the device is grabbed away
- A bright, usable flashlight alongside the stun function
- Built-in charging with no separate cable or charger needed
Consider something else if you need:
- A smaller, more pocketable profile — the Trigger is mid-sized at 4⅝” long
- Higher voltage — other models push above 75M if that’s a priority for you
Built-In Charging and the Charge That Lasts
The built-in AC wall plug folds out from the base of the Trigger. Plug it directly into any standard outlet. No charging cable, no separate dock, no proprietary accessory. For a device you might carry for years, that matters — you’re not going to be hunting for a specific charger three years from now.
The charge on a Ni-CD battery lasts up to three months with normal use. If you use the flashlight regularly, you’ll charge it more often, but for a device you’re carrying mostly for security purposes, a few months between charges is realistic. Recharging takes a couple of hours.
The rubberized coating gives you a real grip — not a textured plastic surface, but a rubberized layer over the ABS plastic body. At 0.4 lbs it has some weight to it, which most people find reassuring. The dimensions — 4⅝” x 1¾” x ⅞” — sit in a comfortable middle ground between truly compact and full-sized stun gun.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the trigger mechanism work compared to a standard stun gun?
Standard stun guns typically have a button on the side or face of the device that you press with your thumb or palm. The Trigger uses a finger trigger in a pistol-style grip — you hold it like you’d hold any handle, and your finger falls naturally on the trigger. Under stress, that’s a more reliable motion than locating a side button. It doesn’t require any different legal handling, just a more intuitive physical design.
What happens if the disable pin is removed — can it be reset?
Yes. The disable pin pulls free when the wrist strap is separated from the device. To reset it, you simply plug the pin back into the socket on the unit. It takes a second or two. The system is designed to be a safety net — if the stun gun is knocked away in a struggle, the pin pulls and the device is disabled. If you drop it and retrieve it, plugging the pin back in restores full function.
How long does a charge last, and how do I know when to recharge?
The Ni-CD battery holds a charge for up to three months under normal conditions — meaning you’re carrying it but not regularly firing the stun or running the flashlight. If you use the flashlight often, plan to recharge more frequently. There’s no battery indicator light, so Safety Technology recommends recharging every month or two as a habit, rather than waiting for it to run low. Charging takes a couple of hours with the fold-out wall plug.
Is the flashlight strong enough to use as a standalone light?
Yes — 100 lumens is a genuinely useful output. It’s comparable to a basic dedicated flashlight and bright enough to light a dark path, illuminate a car interior, or check something in low light. The flashlight operates independently from the stun function, so you can run it on its own without engaging the stun mode. It’s not a tactical-grade beam, but it’s a real, usable light — not just a token LED.
