Perfect in every since of
"Perfect in every since of the word. It's the perfect size, a little bigger than I thought, but exactly what I wanted. I was hoping to find a bundle that included an IWB holster, so I will be searching for one of those."
The Byrna CL (Compact Launcher) is the most compact less-lethal launcher in the world. The entire platform has been reimagined for maximum concealability and stopping power. Powered by compressed air (CO2), the Byrna CL shoots .61 caliber round kinetic and/or chemical irritant projectiles that can disable a threat from up to 60-feet away.
The CL is purpose-built for concealed carry and everyday protection. With its ultra-compact design and powerful performance, you get serious stopping power in a package small enough to carry anywhere, anytime.
The CL features patented pull-pierce technology that stores CO2 in the launcher unpunctured until the first trigger pull. On the first trigger pull, the CO2 is punctured and a projectile is launched simultaneously. This means your CL can be stored safely with CO2 installed and activated instantly when needed.
The Byrna CL is not classified as a firearm therefore does not require a permit or background check to own. Must be 18 or older to purchase. Legal in all 50 states and compliant with California regulations. Always check your local laws regarding less-lethal devices.
Byrna Technologies is the world leader in less-lethal self-defense. With over a decade of innovation and millions of satisfied customers, Byrna launchers are trusted by law enforcement agencies, security professionals, and families worldwide.

"Perfect in every since of the word. It's the perfect size, a little bigger than I thought, but exactly what I wanted. I was hoping to find a bundle that included an IWB holster, so I will be searching for one of those."
"I can still conceal under my shirt w smaller magazine (5 round) wen I go out. Longer barrel w CL. XL, than w CL may help w accuracy. But shooting both my CL and CL. XL at distance of 15-18 ft … both are similar in accuracy."
"Awesome!!! Instructions on how to assemble could be clearer. . ."
"The CL launcher is great but the Allen wrench on the magazine stripped right away."
"I'm not exactly sure how to write the review. I love the product, but one of the Max rounds (I bought a package of 5 with my order) was so flimsy it broke while loading in the magazine. So, great on most of my order. Handle the Max rounds gently. I previously had the Byrna LE version with Max rounds and didn't have the problem, so maybe the . 61 rounds are more delicate. Anyway, it made me cry in more ways than one - they are pretty potent."
"great value and prompt delivery"
"Still a little chunky for CCL; but I am going to see how it can work. As most, I prefer less lethal than lethal."
"Great non lethal option for my girlfriend. It shoots straight and his hard. Love it."
"Awesome!"
"Buying the Byrna CL Compact went smoothly and the shipping was fast. And a bonus was they had the pink one that I really wanted."
