The Stun Gun That Doesn’t Look Like One
Discretion is a legitimate self-defense consideration. If someone can identify what you’re carrying before you’ve had a chance to use it, you lose part of your tactical advantage. The Slider addresses that directly. It’s built from aluminum alloy — not plastic — and its form factor reads as an oversized thumb drive or small flashlight. Nothing about its profile signals “stun gun” to someone looking at it casually.
The slide-activation mechanism is intuitive and fast. Push the thumb-switch forward with your thumb, and the unit fires. Release it, and the switch retracts. No fumbling for a button you can’t see in the dark, no safety switches to disengage under stress. The operation is simple enough that muscle memory builds quickly with a few practice runs.
Who This Stun Gun Is For
The Slider works well for people who want maximum discretion in a stun gun. Students carrying it in a backpack side pocket, commuters who want something unobtrusive in a jacket pocket, or anyone who prefers a tool that doesn’t announce itself. The aluminum body holds up better to daily carry than plastic units, and the four color options mean it doesn’t have to look tactical if that’s not what you want.
It’s also a solid fit for someone who already carries a keychain or bag stun gun and wants a backup option that’s genuinely different in form factor. The Slider’s flat, compact profile gives it real advantages in certain carry situations — inside a slim wallet pocket, clipped to a key ring via the wrist strap loop, or slipped into a waistband without bulk.
The USB rechargeable lithium battery means you’re charging this the same way you charge your phone — no proprietary adapters, no wall plugs to keep track of. The charger cord comes included.
Is This the Right Choice for You?
Choose the Slider Stun Gun if you want:
- Maximum discretion — a stun gun that doesn’t read as one at a glance
- A compact aluminum body that holds up to daily carry
- Simple, fast thumb-slide activation with no safety to disengage under stress
- USB rechargeable lithium battery using a standard cord
Consider something else if you need:
- Higher voltage — units like the Runt or Trigger offer more output
- A disable pin safety for situations where loss of grip is a concern
How It Actually Works
The Slider’s thumb-slide mechanism is the defining feature of this unit. Most stun guns use a button or a squeeze trigger. The Slider uses a linear slide switch that travels forward and retracts spring-loaded when you release. That mechanism is intuitive in a way that buttons sometimes aren’t under stress — your thumb naturally pushes forward, and the motion is direct. It takes about thirty seconds of practice to feel comfortable with it.
The 4.9 milliamp output is the highest in its size class among the units we carry. Milliamps measure the actual delivered current, which is what produces the neuromuscular disruption that stops a threat. The aluminum alloy body dissipates heat better than plastic and gives the unit a more substantial feel without adding meaningful weight — the Slider is genuinely light.
The 80-lumen LED flashlight on the front is bright enough to use as a primary flashlight and more than bright enough to temporarily impair vision in a dark environment. It operates independently of the stun function, so you can use it as an everyday light without activating the stun circuit.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the slide-activation mechanism work?
The thumb-switch sits along the top of the Slider’s body. Push it forward with your thumb and the stun circuit activates. Release the switch and it returns to the neutral position automatically via a spring mechanism. There’s no secondary safety to disengage first — the switch itself is the safety in its resting position. After a few practice runs it becomes a fast, natural motion.
How do I charge the Slider?
The Slider uses a rechargeable lithium battery and charges via the included USB cord. Connect the cord to the charging port on the unit and plug the other end into any standard USB power source — a wall adapter, laptop, or power bank. Lithium batteries charge faster than Ni-CD and hold their charge longer between uses, which is a practical advantage for everyday carry.
Is the aluminum body more durable than a plastic stun gun?
Generally, yes. Aluminum alloy handles repeated impact and daily carry wear better than ABS plastic, which can crack or scratch over time. The Slider’s metal body also gives it a more solid feel in the hand, which some users prefer. It’s still a compact, lightweight unit — the aluminum doesn’t make it heavy, just more durable and rigid.
Can I use the flashlight without activating the stun function?
Yes. The flashlight operates on a separate control from the stun circuit. You can use the 80-lumen LED for everyday illumination without engaging the stun function at all. This makes the Slider genuinely useful as a daily carry flashlight, which means it stays in your pocket or bag rather than sitting in a drawer unused — and that’s exactly where you want a defensive tool to be.
