Small Device, Practical Design
The Runt’s size is the point. At 4ΒΌ” x 1β ” x 1″ and 0.4 lbs, it fits in a closed hand without protruding β useful when you want the option available without advertising it. The rubberized coating improves grip compared to bare plastic, which matters if your hands are sweaty or you’re wearing gloves.
The disable pin wrist strap is a straightforward safety feature: if someone grabs the device from your hand, the pin pulls free and the stun gun stops working. That prevents the device from being used against you and is one of the more practical secondary safety mechanisms available on compact stun guns.
Who This Stun Gun Is For
The Runt fits people who want something always in hand or pocket without the bulk of a larger device. It’s a common choice for people who walk or run alone, commute late, or want a backup option that doesn’t require a dedicated holster. The nylon belt holster is included for those who prefer to clip it to a waistband β the option is there without an additional purchase.
The four color options β Black, Pink, Purple, and Red β reflect a design that’s been well-received across a broad range of users. Functionality is identical across all colors.
Is This the Right Choice for You?
Choose the Runt if you want:
- A compact stun gun that fits in a closed hand or pocket without bulk
- Disable pin safety that prevents use against you if the device is grabbed
- Built-in LED flashlight for dual-purpose utility
- Rechargeable battery with lifetime warranty and included holster
Consider something else if you need:
- Longer reach β a stun baton provides standoff distance this device doesn’t
- Non-contact deterrence β pepper spray works at 8β15 feet; this requires direct contact
How the Runt Is Built and How It Functions
The Runt uses micro-technology to deliver 80,000,000 volts at 4.5 milliamps through two exposed electrodes. Contact with an attacker causes involuntary muscle contractions and disorientation β effects are immediate and temporary. The ABS plastic body with rubberized coating keeps the device secure in hand during deployment.
The 100-lumen LED flashlight serves two practical purposes: illuminating dark areas for navigation and identifying threats before close contact is necessary. The flashlight operates independently from the stun function, so it’s usable as an everyday carry light without activating the stun circuit.
Recharging is handled via the included charging connection β no disposable batteries to track or replace. The Ni-CD rechargeable battery maintains charge reliably through regular top-off cycles. A safety switch and disable pin provide two independent layers of accidental activation prevention.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the disable pin wrist strap actually work?
The wrist strap connects to a pin that inserts into the device’s power circuit. As long as the pin is inserted, the stun gun operates normally. If the device is pulled from your hand β by an attacker grabbing it, for example β the strap tension pulls the pin free, breaking the circuit and disabling the stun function. You’d need to reinsert the pin to reactivate. It’s a passive safety that doesn’t require any action on your part to engage.
Does the flashlight work separately from the stun function?
Yes. The 100-lumen LED flashlight operates on its own switch independent of the stun circuit. You can use it as a regular flashlight β walking at night, checking a dark parking garage, searching a bag β without any connection to the stun function. This makes it genuinely dual-purpose rather than a secondary feature that only works when you’re about to deploy the device.
How often does the Ni-CD battery need to be recharged?
Ni-CD batteries perform best when charged regularly rather than run down completely. A monthly top-off charge is a reasonable maintenance schedule for most users. Ni-CD chemistry is more tolerant of irregular charging than lithium-ion, but consistent charging keeps the battery at peak capacity. The device includes everything needed for recharging β no additional accessories required.
Is the Runt legal to carry in all states?
Stun gun laws vary by state and municipality. Most U.S. states permit civilian stun gun ownership and carry, but some have restrictions on voltage, carry location, or require permits. A small number of states or localities restrict them further. Check the current laws in your specific state and city before purchasing or carrying. Laws change β verify with local authorities or legal counsel if you’re uncertain.
