Triad Stun Gun

The Triad packs a stun gun, a 130 dB alarm, and a 120-lumen flashlight into a device the size of a car key remote. At 3.5 × 1.875 × 1 inches and under 2 ounces, it's one of the smallest multi-function stun guns available. Clip it to your waistband, drop it in a pocket, or loop the wrist lanyard and carry it in your hand — it disappears on your person until you need it.

Triad Stun Gun Features and Specs

• 27,000,000 volt stun: Test-firing into the air produces a loud, visible arc — often enough to deter a threat before contact
• 4.5 milliamps: Milliamps are what determine real stopping power, not voltage claims — the Triad delivers enough to cause pain and involuntary muscle disruption on contact
• 130 dB alarm: Louder than a jackhammer at close range — draws attention and can deter an attacker without deploying the stun at all
• 120-lumen LED flashlight: Bright enough to light a dark parking lot or temporarily blind someone at close range
• Safety switch: Prevents accidental discharge while carrying
• USB rechargeable: Micro USB charging cord included — no replacement batteries needed
• Wrist lanyard and nylon holster: Lanyard keeps it secured to your hand; holster clips to a belt or bag
• Lifetime warranty

The alarm is the first line of defense. A 130 dB siren gets the attention of everyone nearby and forces the attacker to make a decision — keep coming or leave. If they keep coming, the stun and flashlight are already in your hand. Three options in one device mean you can escalate or de-escalate based on the situation.

How does the Triad compare to other compact stun guns?

The Triad's advantage is how much it fits into how little space. Most stun guns with alarms and flashlights — like the Hot Shot or the SAL — are significantly larger, typically 5+ inches. The Triad is 3.5 inches and under 2 ounces. That trade-off means less surface area for the stun contacts and a lower voltage rating, but if your priority is a multi-function device small enough to genuinely forget you're carrying it, the Triad is hard to match. If size isn't a concern and you want maximum output, the Hot Shot delivers 90 million volts in a slightly larger package. If you want something even more discreet, the Slider is flash-drive sized but doesn't include an alarm.

Is the alarm on the Triad loud enough to actually help?

130 dB is comparable to a military jet at takeoff distance. In a practical self-defense scenario, it does two things: it startles the attacker, buying you a second or two, and it draws attention from anyone within a few hundred feet. In a parking lot, campus, or residential area, that attention is often enough to end the situation before you need the stun function at all.

When is a compact stun gun the wrong choice?

If you need to stop a threat from a distance, a stun gun isn't the right tool — you need a TASER device (fires darts up to 15 feet) or pepper spray (effective at 8–18 feet depending on model). Stun guns are contact weapons — they require you to be within arm's reach. The Triad is designed for situations where you're already close to a threat: grabbed from behind, cornered, or approached in a confined space.
