“We are thrilled to offer consumers the opportunity to preorder a Byrna™ HD non-lethal personal security device for the first time,” said Bryan Ganz, President of SDI. “Our product fills a critical hole within the self-defense spectrum, uniquely allowing consumers to engage threats at range in a non-lethal manner. We believe there is significant commercial demand for our product and look forward to ramping production to meet this anticipated demand. I am incredibly proud of our E-commerce, sales, engineering and production teams, who have made commercialization of this innovative product possible. I look forward to providing the investment community with further updates on our sales progress as we strive to build long-term shareholder value.”

The Byrna™ HD (Home Defense) is a disruptive new non-lethal device aimed at the home defense and personal security markets.  Its patented design, compact size, five-round magazine, laser sight adaptability and point and shoot capabilities will make the Byrna™ a truly effective personal security device offering many of the same features as today’s popular handguns, but with one critical difference – it fires non-lethal rounds which do not result in the loss of human life. Instead, the Byrna™ delivers a chemical payload that causes an immediate burning sensation in the attacker’s eyes and respiratory system (hence the name “bur-nah”) thereby Deterring, Disorienting, Disrupting and Delaying an attacker, providing time to escape or call for assistance.

The Byrna™ HD will not require a gun license and has a starting price of $349. It will be able to be fitted with laser sights or flashlights and fit easily in either an inside the waistband or tactical holster.  The Byrna™ HD was designed for those wanting a way to stop an attacker at standoff distances far beyond what is generally available on the market today (except with a lethal device), in order to disarm a threat before it escalates out of control and without the need to use deadly force.  Its ease of use and obtainability will make it a natural choice for both those homeowners that would never own a gun as well as a must-have add-on to any gun enthusiast’s firearms collection. The Byrna™ HD is now available for sale on www.byrna.com.
