How To Choose The Best Stun Guns



There are many great stun guns on the market, but finding the right one for you may not be easy. If you do not know what to look for, you may feel overwhelmed reading all the descriptions. There are seven key factors to think about when choosing these women's self defense products.

1. There are stun guns with voltages from 80,000 to 1.2 million volts. If you do not know much about stun guns, this might be a meaningless number to you. While the variation in voltages for these self defense items is great, the actual potency does not vary as much as you might expect. Stun guns with higher voltages generally carry a stronger jolt, but if lower voltage stun guns are made to carry higher amperage, they can be effective too.

2. You may want to look at rechargeable stun guns only. These self defense items are handier than those which rely on simple batteries. You can keep them charged up during the time they are not in use, so that they will be ready when you need them for self defense. Rechargeable stun guns are convenient for women who do not want to be tasked with buying batteries constantly.

3. Think about the intimidation factor. All stun guns are somewhat intimidating if they are turned on and displayed to the attacker. The jumping electricity will warn off many assailants so that they think twice about coming after you. Some stun guns are scarier-looking than others. A cell phone device has its advantages, but a utilitarian black and metal self defense product will more likely put fear into the heart of a perpetrator.

4. You might want to disguise your self defense weapons. Whether it is pepper sprays or stun guns, the element of surprise is very helpful. Some stun guns look just like a small cell phone or flashlight. This women's self defense gear can be very helpful when an attacker is too sure of himself. He can be caught off guard and rendered helpless while the woman gets away.

5. Size is important. Back to intimidation: some women like to impress their attacker with huge stun guns. On the other hand, you might rather have small women's self defense products that you can carry in a purse or pocket. You have to decide whether concealment or display is more important to you.

6. Some stun guns are easier to carry than others. Some of these self defense items come with carrying straps that go around your wrist. You can carry them with little conscious thought until the time comes to use them. Others fit on your hand so that you can carry them easily as you jog or walk. Self defense is more effective when it is more convenient, since you will have your self defense weapons on hand in a crisis.

7. Other features are handy too. There are stun guns that come with a personal alarm. These women's self defense products are popular because they start by scaring off many attackers and end by immobilizing the ones that will not go away easily. Other stun guns come with flashlights to help with self defense readiness in dark places.

Of all the factors in choosing stun guns for women's self defense, price is the least important factor. You certainly have to choose self defense products that are within your budget. However, the range of prices is usually fairly small and getting the stun guns that suit you best is the most important thing of all.
