Looking for a police TASER® to use? Why certain models are made and only sold to police, some police departments allow their officers to choose which TASER they want to use. The X26 is the TASER of choice for the Saint Paul Police Department. If you see an officer, feel free to ask them about their TASER and why they carry it. Keep in mind, in Saint Paul it's not mandatory for an officer to carry a TASER, and thus some officers will have one while others choose not to carry one.
Wait, what's the difference between the X26 and the X26C?
The X26 is what police use, and the X26C is what is offered here. The "C" stands for civilian - and is now available for purchase to the general public. The X26C shoots up to 15 feet, while the non-civilian (or police) version allows an officer to shoot up to 35 feet. Many times the police versions offer a shorter "shock" period, allowing an officer to simply gain control of the situation. The civilian models offer a 5-10 second burst each pull of the trigger ensuring the individual being shot remains on the ground long enough for the victim to get away. *The C2 offers a 30 second burst, allowing even additional time to get away.
The X26C is smaller than it looks (online) and is quite easily carried on the belt or in a purse as a self defense weapon. It also has an almost 100% effectiveness rating. It combines the injury reducing benefits of traditional stun technology with a quantum leap in stopping power via new Electro-Muscular Disruption (EMD) technology.
In police studies, the new TASER X26C has a higher instant incapacitation rate than a 9mm hand gun. The TASER X26C shoots out 2 darts attached to 15 feet of wire. 50,000 volts travels over the wires and over-rides the central nervous system providing incredible takedown power.
SAFETY -- The TASER X26C can stop a threat up to 15 feet away (4.5 meters), allowing you a safe distance to protect yourself and family from an attacker. If a close quarter defense is warranted, the X26C doubles as a contact stun device to repel someone as a powerful and unexpected backup capability. TASER technology has proven itself as a safe and effective choice of self-defense with over 500,000 worldwide users.
EFFECTIVE -- A TASER X26C can be conveniently discharged to work anywhere on the body, unlike other conventional weapons with a specified target area. This makes the TASER X26C more effective self-defense option by making it easier to stop a threat under an already stressful situation. TASER devices have been used effectively by law enforcement encounters by over 10,000 police agencies in over 4 countries, boasting a 95% effective rating. TASER technology provides one of the only non-lethal means of stopping an attacker dead in his tracks, even if under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
RESPONSIBILITY -- Normal law-abiding citizens carrying a TASER X26C for self-defense purposes should have no problem acquiring this highly effective tool. However, to further promote responsible ownership, the TASER X26C will only function after the owner completes a background check through the manufacturer to prevent misuse. As always, purchasers MUST be 18 years old or older.
TASER X26C cartridges also have a unique serial number and are equipped with an Anti-Felon Identification system, which discharges 20-30 serialized paper tags when deployed. Law enforcement can later retrieve this confetti from the scene and contact TASER International to get the name of the owner of the TASER device, allowing police to track any potential misuse.
LIFETIME REPLACEMENT GUARANTEE
If the TASER X26C is used in self defense, it can be deployed and left behind attached to the attacker causing incapacitation while you get to safety. When fired, the TASER X26C will deliver a 30 second energy burst. During this window of opportunity, you can set down the TASER X26C to keep the attacker incapacitated, while you escape. Send TASER International a copy of the police report documenting the incident and they will replace your unit free of charge.
The TASER X26C is light weight and software upgradable. Utilizes a digital power magazine which not only powers the X26C but also remembers energy use and calculates life expectancy of the the magazine. A central information display indicates battery level, a countdown timer during an activation and warranty information. 6(L) x 3.2(W) x 1.3(H)
