The Slider is about as discreet as a stun gun gets. It’s the size and approximate shape of a thick flash drive — 3½” x 1″ x ½” — and at first glance most people won’t identify it as anything other than a small electronic device. The activation mechanism is a thumb-slide rather than a button, which means it’s quick to deploy without having to orient it or find a specific switch. At 4.9 milliamps it actually edges out some larger stun guns on the number that matters most.
Most stun guns are identifiable as stun guns. The Slider isn’t — at least not at first glance. Its profile is close to a thick USB drive: 3½” long, 1″ wide, and half an inch deep. That’s small enough to disappear in a pocket, palm, or small bag without creating the outline of a defensive device. Whether that matters to you depends on your situation, but discretion is something I didn’t find easily in compact stun guns at this price point.
The aluminum alloy body is worth noting. Most stun guns in this size range use plastic. Aluminum is more durable and holds up better over time, which is relevant for something you’re carrying daily. It also feels more substantial in hand, which contributes to grip stability when the stun function activates.
The Slider works best for people who want a stun gun that travels completely unnoticed. Someone who wants a device they can hold in their fist while walking to their car without it being obvious, or keep clipped in a bag without it printing through the fabric.
It’s also a reasonable option for travelers who want something more discreet than a standard stun gun form factor. The USB charging makes it easy to charge on the road without carrying separate equipment. At 0.35 lbs, it adds almost nothing to a bag or pocket.
If you want maximum power output or extended reach, larger stun guns or a stun baton will serve those needs better. The Slider trades size and some voltage for portability and discretion — if those trade-offs align with how you’ll actually carry it, it’s a solid choice.

Consider something else if you need:
Most stun guns use a button or a switch with a safety cover. The Slider uses a thumb-slide — you push a small lever forward with your thumb to activate, and it retracts automatically when you release. The motion is intuitive because it’s directional: push forward, it fires; let go, it stops. You don’t need to locate a button under stress or flip a cover first.
The 40,000,000 volt output combined with 4.9 milliamps means the Slider delivers more current than the voltage number alone would suggest — and milliamps, not volts, determine how the device actually performs on contact. For a device this small, 4.9 mA is genuinely high.
The 80-lumen LED flashlight operates independently of the stun function. It’s bright enough to be a useful standalone flashlight for navigating a dark parking lot or identifying what’s ahead of you at night. The lithium rechargeable battery charges via the included cord — USB compatible, so it works with any standard USB charger or wall adapter. The wrist strap attaches for carry security, though unlike the Runt, there is no disable pin mechanism on this model.

Check your state and local laws before purchasing, as stun gun regulations vary by jurisdiction.
If the reason you haven’t carried a stun gun is that they’re too obvious, too bulky, or too awkward to pocket, the Slider is worth a look. The size and milliamp output are a combination that’s hard to match at this price.
A standard stun gun safety typically involves flipping a cover, rotating a collar, or toggling a switch to unlock the device before pressing a firing button — two separate motions. The Slider’s thumb-slide combines both into one motion: push forward to activate, release to stop. There’s no separate unlock step. In practice, this means less cognitive load when you need to use it quickly. The slide also retracts automatically when you release it, so there’s no risk of leaving the device in an active state accidentally.
At 0.35 lbs, the Slider is lighter than most compact stun guns despite the aluminum construction — the small size keeps the overall weight down. Aluminum actually tends to provide better grip than smooth plastic because it has more surface friction, and the small profile means your hand wraps around it naturally. Some people find aluminum slightly less comfortable in very cold weather since it conducts temperature, but for most situations it’s a practical improvement over plastic at this size.
The Slider charges via the included USB cord — plug one end into the device and the other into any standard USB port or wall adapter. Charging from low to full typically takes a couple of hours. Battery life depends heavily on flashlight use — if you’re running the flashlight regularly, you’ll drain it faster than if it’s just sitting in standby. A reasonable approach is to charge it every few weeks if you’re using the flashlight occasionally, or once a month if it’s mostly in your pocket. The lithium battery holds a charge well in storage compared to Ni-CD alternatives.
No — the Slider doesn’t include a wrist strap disable pin mechanism. It does include a wrist strap for carrying security, but the strap is not connected to the device’s function in the same way the Runt’s disable pin works. If the device were grabbed from your hand, it would remain functional. If the disable pin feature is important to you — particularly if you’re concerned about a device being taken and turned against you — the Runt stun gun includes that safety feature. Both devices have their trade-offs; the Slider’s advantage is its smaller profile and higher milliamp output.
