Three Functions. One Device. Fits in Your Hand. Most people who carry a self-defense tool want it to do one thing well. The Triad does three things well — and it does them in a package small enough that you genuinely forget it’s there until you need it. At roughly 3 inches tall and under two ounces, it fits in a jacket pocket, a purse interior pocket, or clipped to a bag strap without adding noticeable bulk or weight. The stun gun function delivers 27 million volts at 4.5 milliamps. The alarm hits 130 decibels — comparable to standing near a jackhammer. The flashlight puts out 70 lumens, which is enough to identify what’s in front of you in a dark parking garage or on an unlit path. These aren’t afterthought features; each one is genuinely functional on its own. Who This Stun Gun Is For The Triad suits someone who wants discreet carry without sacrificing capability. College students heading back to dorms late at night, commuters navigating transit systems after dark, healthcare workers finishing overnight shifts — anyone who wants a compact, rechargeable option that won’t weigh down a bag or attract attention during a security check. It also fits people who aren’t sure which single tool they’d reach for in a stressful situation. Having all three functions available means you can use the alarm to draw attention, the flashlight to identify a threat, and the stun gun if the situation escalates — without switching devices. Is This the Right Choice for You? Choose the Triad Stun Gun if you want: Maximum function in minimum size — stun, alarm, and light in one device Rechargeable power so you’re not replacing batteries Discreet carry that doesn’t look like a traditional stun gun A lightweight option under 2 oz for all-day carry Consider something else if you need: Extended reach — a stun baton provides distance the Triad doesn’t A higher-lumen flashlight for dedicated illumination tasks How It Actually Works The Triad’s stun function works the same way any contact stun gun does — press the electrodes against an attacker and activate. The 27 million volts at 4.5 milliamps delivers a strong electrical charge that disrupts muscle function and causes significant discomfort. Milliamps matter as much as voltage here: 4.5 milliamps is a meaningful output for a device this size. The 130dB alarm is activated separately and operates independently of the stun function. At that volume, it’s not background noise — it’s genuinely disorienting and draws immediate attention from anyone nearby. Pair that with the 70-lumen LED flashlight, and you have a device that can handle the full range of a threatening encounter: illuminate, alert, and neutralize. The rechargeable lithium battery keeps the Triad ready without the ongoing cost or inconvenience of disposable batteries. The included charging cord works with standard USB connections, so you can top it off anywhere. Quick Comparison: How Does the Triad Stack Up?

Body is ABS plastic with a rubberized coating for grip. Available in Pink and Silver. Battery is a rechargeable lithium cell; charging cord is included. Backed by Safety Technology’s standard warranty. Check local stun gun laws before purchase — regulations vary by state and municipality. Three real functions in a device the size of a lighter. The Triad earns its place in a pocket or purse every single day. Frequently Asked Questions Can the alarm and stun gun be activated at the same time? The alarm and stun gun are separate functions on the Triad and are activated independently. In most situations, you’d use the alarm first to draw attention and warn an aggressor, then deploy the stun gun if the situation doesn’t de-escalate. Having them as separate controls means you won’t accidentally trigger one when you intend the other. How often does the battery need to be recharged? With normal standby use, the rechargeable lithium battery holds its charge well. A good habit is to top it off every few weeks even if you haven’t used it — same as you’d charge any device you depend on. The included charging cord works with standard USB connections, so it’s easy to keep it current. Is a stun gun this small actually effective? Size doesn’t determine effectiveness in a stun gun — voltage and milliamps do. The Triad delivers 27 million volts at 4.5 milliamps. That’s a strong output regardless of the device’s physical dimensions. The rubberized grip also helps ensure you maintain control during use, which matters as much as the electrical output itself. Are stun guns legal to carry? Stun gun laws vary by state, and some cities have their own restrictions on top of state law. Most U.S. states permit civilian stun gun ownership and carry, but there are exceptions and conditions. Check the laws in your state and city before purchasing or carrying. Safety Technology has carried stun guns since 1986 and can point you toward general legal information, but local statutes are your responsibility to verify.
