A Stun Gun That Fits the Hand Differently
Most stun guns have an obvious button or trigger on the outside of the device. The Talon hides its trigger in the grip itself — when you hold it naturally, your palm covers the trigger. Activating it is a squeeze rather than a deliberate button press. For some people, that feels more instinctive. For others, a visible trigger is easier to locate under stress. Worth thinking about which design suits you before buying.
The rubberized coating provides a secure grip, and at 4 5/8″ long, the Talon fits in most hands without feeling oversized. You can carry it in your hand, a pocket, or the included nylon holster. The 120-lumen flashlight is the brightest in this stun gun lineup — a meaningful step up from the 100-lumen options on comparable devices.
Who This Stun Gun Is For
The Talon tends to appeal to people who want a stun gun they can hold ready without it being immediately obvious what they’re carrying. The palm-trigger design and overall shape are more ambiguous than a standard rectangular stun gun, which some people prefer when walking to their car or through a parking structure at night.
The lithium battery is worth noting specifically. Unlike Ni-CD batteries, lithium holds its charge longer between uses — helpful if you’re the type to charge it once and then not think about it for a while. The charger cord is included. Available in Black and Pink, so there’s some choice depending on preference.
One practical consideration: the palm-trigger design means activation requires a full-hand grip. If you tend to carry a stun gun loosely in a bag and grab it quickly, a trigger or button design might be easier to deploy with a partial grip. The Talon rewards a deliberate, full hold.
Is This the Right Choice for You?
Choose the Talon stun gun if you want:
- A palm-concealed trigger that activates with a natural squeeze
- A brighter flashlight — 120 lumens is the highest in this product range
- A rechargeable lithium battery that holds charge longer between uses
- A less obvious profile when holding the device ready
- A holster, charger cord, and lifetime warranty included
Consider something else if you need:
- A disable pin safety — the Talon uses a safety switch only, no wrist strap pin
- A keychain-size device for smaller carry
- A trigger or button design that’s easier to locate with a partial grip
How It Works
The Talon’s safety switch controls whether the device is active. Once the switch is engaged, a firm squeeze of the grip fires the stun. The palm-trigger design means the activation point is under your fingers when you hold the device naturally — there’s nothing to search for on the outside. The stun sound is notably loud on this device, which can itself be a deterrent before contact is even made.
The 120-lumen flashlight runs from the same lithium battery as the stun function. Lithium batteries have a flatter discharge curve than Ni-CD — they maintain consistent output longer before dropping off. Charging is via the included cord rather than a built-in plug, so you’ll want to keep track of the cable. A monthly charge check is a reasonable habit even with lithium, just to confirm you’re starting from full.
At 4.7 milliamps, the output is strong. As a point of reference, many entry-level stun guns run 1–3 milliamps; devices in the 4–5 milliamp range are meaningfully more powerful. The voltage number (75 million) is used for comparison purposes, but milliamps are the more practical measure of effectiveness.

Practical Details
The Talon weighs 0.4 lbs and fits in a hand, pocket, or the included nylon belt holster. Made from ABS plastic with a rubberized coating for grip. Rechargeable via included charging cord and a lithium battery — no built-in wall plug on this model, so the cord is needed for charging. Available in Black and Pink. Backed by a lifetime warranty from Safety Technology. As with all stun guns, check your state and local laws before purchasing — stun guns are restricted in some areas.
The Talon’s palm-trigger design, 120-lumen flashlight, and lithium battery set it apart from most stun guns in this size range — worth a close look if those features matter to you.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is the palm trigger different from a regular stun gun button?
On most stun guns, the activation button or trigger is a distinct element on the outside of the device that you press with your thumb or finger. The Talon’s trigger is built into the grip itself — when you hold the device fully in your hand, the trigger is under your palm and fingers. Activating it is a squeeze rather than a press. The practical effect is that activation feels more like clenching your fist than pressing a button, which some people find more natural under stress. The trade-off is that a full grip is required — a loose or partial hold won’t activate it as reliably.
Why does the lithium battery matter compared to Ni-CD?
Lithium batteries hold their charge longer in standby than Ni-CD batteries, which means the Talon is less likely to be dead when you reach for it after not charging it for a few months. Lithium also maintains more consistent power output as it discharges — Ni-CD tends to fade more gradually. The practical difference for most people is that you can charge the Talon and not worry about it for longer between charges. Still worth a monthly check, but the margin is meaningfully better with lithium.
Is 120 lumens actually that much brighter than 100 lumens?
The difference between 100 and 120 lumens is noticeable but not dramatic — it’s about 20% more light. In practical terms, both are usable everyday flashlights. The 120-lumen output on the Talon is toward the brighter end of what you’ll find in stun gun flashlights, which tend to prioritize size over brightness. If the flashlight is a significant part of why you’re considering this, the Talon edges out the comparable models. If you primarily want a stun gun and the light is secondary, the difference probably won’t drive your decision.
Does the Talon come with everything I need to start using it?
Yes — the Talon includes the stun gun, nylon belt holster, and charging cord. You’ll need a standard USB outlet or adapter to charge it (the cord connects to an external charger rather than a built-in plug). Charge it fully before first use, and you’re ready to go. The lifetime warranty from Safety Technology covers the device against defects, so if something goes wrong with the unit itself, you have recourse through the manufacturer.
