Choosing the right Byrna launcher matters. Whether you want something compact for everyday carry, a high-power option for serious defense, or the newest pull-pierce compact model for instant readiness — Nakestores Van Nuys helps you pick the Byrna launcher that fits your lifestyle and safety needs.
What is a Byrna launcher?
A Byrna launcher is a CO₂-powered, less-lethal self-defense tool that fires kinetic or chemical irritant projectiles to stop threats without deadly force. It offers effective stopping power while avoiding the legal and safety complexities of firearms — no permit or background check is required in most jurisdictions, which makes Byrna launchers a practical choice for responsible civilians, homeowners, and professionals.
The three Byrna launchers we recommend
Byrna SD — Reliable, proven, everyday protection
The Byrna SD is the workhorse of the lineup: compact, easy to handle, and trusted by thousands. It’s ideal for users who want a balance of size, reliability, and practical self-defense performance. The SD is straightforward to maintain and pairs well with basic accessories for improved aiming and carry.
Best for: first-time buyers, home defense, everyday carry.
Byrna LE — Maximum power and precision
The Byrna LE (Law Enforcement edition) is Byrna’s most powerful handgun-style launcher. With higher muzzle velocity and factory upgrades like improved sights and trigger feel, the LE delivers superior range and stopping capability for users who want the most performance from a handgun-style Byrna launcher.
Best for: advanced users, security professionals, people who prioritize maximum less-lethal stopping power.
Byrna CL — Compact, instant-ready, user-friendly
The Byrna CL (Compact Launcher) brings modern convenience with Pull-Pierce Technology for quick CO₂ setup and immediate readiness. Lightweight and ergonomically designed, the CL is perfect for concealed carry or anyone who values a fast, fuss-free launcher that’s always ready when it matters.
Best for: concealed carriers, commuters, anyone who wants an easy-to-use compact launcher.
How to choose between SD, LE, and CL
-
Comfort & carry: If concealment and light weight are priorities, the CL is the top pick.
-
Power & range: If you want maximum less-lethal stopping power, choose the LE.
-
Balanced everyday use: If you want a proven, dependable option for home and personal defense, choose the SD.
