Byrna started out in S. Africa, but I suppose the negro problem got too bad for less-than-lethal. Byrna is now based in Fort Wayne, IN. I am involved with them as a non-paid, confidential consultant.
Byrna pistols aim and shoot not unlike a Glock pistol, but more like a double action revolver. I have an orange EP (no safety, a modification of the SD unit, unfortunately no longer available, but a new version is in the works, I'm told) as my EDC (every day carry).
The SD series, with the safety, which I have a grey one mounted to the roof of my work truck in a grey-painted kydex holster (no longer available, I bitched about that), I bought my sister Phinehas a pink one, My Godson, Sling Blade, an orange one and Rainman a black one. The stupid safety lever is more of a hazard than a feature. Ever seen a revolver with a safety? You're not going to have an AD (accidental discharge) with a Byrna, but you might squeeze that trigger and nothing happens (a bad outcome).
The LE series, which I suppose means law enforcement, is pretty much the same as the SD, has an add-on extension so it can take a 12gm CO2 cartridge rather than an 8gm unit and supposedly revised valving giving a little more power, which the SD series seems to be OK. I have a yellow one of them in the headboard of my bed, but I might repurpose it to my garage with kinetic rounds to repel groundhogs, racoons, etc.
The pistols have a pretty stiff trigger pull (my 68 y/o sister has some trouble), but even with my arthritis, it's not a big deal.
Byrna also has rifles and other items including some badass pepper spray. Byrna.com or Byrna on YouTube.
PM me if you want advice or have questions. I love Byrna so much, they moved in with me, much to Dr. Kimmy's chagrin. What the fuck do MDs know about guns or cars?
