Three Tools, One Very Small Package
When I look at combination devices, the first question I ask is whether combining functions means compromising all of them. With the Triad, the answer is mostly no. The stun function runs at 4.5 milliamps — that’s the number that actually matters for a stun gun, not the voltage figure. Milliamps measure the current that makes contact with someone; voltage is what gets it through clothing. At 4.5 mA, this is in the same range as full-size stun guns. The alarm at 130 dB is genuinely disorienting at close range — compare that to a standard car alarm at around 120 dB. And 70 lumens is enough flashlight output to light up a dark parking structure or a hallway, not just a symbolic beam.
What the Triad trades for all that is size: it’s about 3 inches tall and under two ounces. That’s the draw for most people. It disappears in a pocket, a small bag, or a hand. If you’ve ever bought a self-defense tool and then left it at home because it was too bulky to carry, the size of this thing is the answer to that problem.
Who This Stun Gun Is For
The Triad is a good fit for someone who wants to carry something daily and wants it to not be a burden. Students, people who commute on foot or by transit, anyone who’s looked at full-size stun guns and thought “I’ll never actually keep that in my pocket” — this is built for that. It also makes sense as a travel option, since it’s small enough to fit in any bag pocket and the rechargeable battery means you’re not hunting for batteries on the road.
The alarm function is also worth taking seriously on its own terms. For situations where you’d rather draw attention than make contact — or if the stun gun function makes you uncomfortable to use — the 130 dB alarm gives you a separate option on the same device.
Is This the Right Choice for You?
Choose the Triad if you want:
- The smallest possible footprint without giving up meaningful stun power (4.5 mA)
- A built-in alarm as a backup or primary deterrent option
- A rechargeable device that doesn’t require tracking down replacement batteries
- Something light enough to carry in a pocket every single day
Consider something else if you need:
- A disable pin wrist strap — the Triad’s compact design doesn’t include one
- A longer reach — stun guns require direct contact, which isn’t always possible
- Higher flashlight output than 70 lumens for extended outdoor use
What 4.5 Milliamps Actually Means
The voltage number on stun guns (here, 27 million) is the figure manufacturers lead with, but the milliamp rating is more relevant to how the device actually performs. Voltage drives the current through clothing and skin; milliamps determine the intensity of the electrical contact. At 4.5 mA, the Triad delivers a current level comparable to stun guns that are physically two or three times larger. That’s the engineering achievement here — packing that output into a 3-inch device.
The rechargeable lithium battery means this charges from the included cord — the same way you’d charge a phone or earbuds. One thing I’d suggest: set a reminder to charge it monthly. You don’t want to reach for it and find a dead battery. A quick monthly check is a good habit with any rechargeable carry device.

Practical Details
Height: approximately 3 inches. Weight: under 2 oz. Voltage: 27,000,000. Milliamps: 4.5 mA. Alarm: 130 dB. Flashlight: 70 lumens. Battery: rechargeable lithium, charges via included cord. Material: ABS plastic with rubberized coating. Available in Pink and Silver. Manufactured by Safety Technology. Check your state and local laws before purchasing — stun gun regulations vary by location.
If the reason you don’t carry a stun gun is size and weight, the Triad removes that excuse. Three functions, under two ounces, fits anywhere. Charge it once a month and keep it with you.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the milliamp number matter more than the voltage?
Voltage is what allows the electrical current to penetrate clothing and reach the skin — higher voltage handles thicker material. But once contact is made, it’s the milliamp level that determines the intensity of the shock. Think of voltage as how far the current can reach and milliamps as how hard it hits when it gets there. At 4.5 mA, the Triad is in the upper range of consumer stun guns regardless of size. Manufacturers often lead with huge voltage numbers because they’re more dramatic, but the mA figure is the one worth comparing.
How do I use the alarm versus the stun function?
The Triad has separate activation for each function. The stun function requires direct contact with a person and activating the shock mechanism. The 130 dB alarm is a separate trigger — you can activate it without making contact with anyone, which makes it useful for drawing attention in a situation where you want help to come to you rather than making direct contact. The flashlight operates independently as well. The specific activation method is covered in the included instructions.
How often do I need to charge it?
The rechargeable lithium battery holds its charge well in standby. A practical habit is to charge it once a month whether you think it needs it or not — it only takes a short time and means you’re never caught with a depleted battery. I’d also suggest testing the functions briefly every few months just to confirm everything is working. Storing it in a cool, dry place (not a hot car) will help the battery last longer over time.
Is this stun gun legal to carry in my state?
Stun gun laws vary significantly by state and sometimes by city. Most U.S. states permit civilian ownership and carry of stun guns, but some have restrictions on where you can carry them, who can own them, or require a permit. A few states have specific rules about compact or disguised devices. Before carrying the Triad, check your state’s laws — your state legislature’s website is the most reliable source. We can’t provide legal advice, but it’s a quick search worth doing before you carry.
