Walking to your car at night, you reach into your bag for your stun gun — and you have no idea if it’s charged. That moment of doubt is the one you can’t afford. I built Curt Safety Products because everyday people deserve tools they can actually count on. Not gadgets. Not guesses. Protection you can verify before you walk out the door. Who This Is Best For This is for women who commute alone, college students navigating campus at night, and anyone who wants a no-nonsense backup that does more than one job. If you want something compact enough to carry daily but serious enough to mean business — and you want to know it’s ready without testing it on yourself — this is your tool. Here’s what actually works: a stun gun you can check at a glance. The built-in battery meter on the Hot Shot tells you right where you stand before you step outside. No guessing. No surprises. The 100-lumen flashlight means it earns its spot in your bag every single night — not just in emergencies. That’s how everyday carry should work.

It recharges via a built-in AC plug — no cord to lose. Comes with a nylon belt holster. To maintain it: charge fully before first use, recharge every 1–3 months if not in active rotation, and test the spark briefly in a safe environment to confirm function. No special maintenance required. You don’t need a weapon. You need a plan — and a tool you can trust to be ready. The Hot Shot gives you both for $25. Add it to your cart and carry with confidence. Frequently Asked Questions How do I know when it needs to be recharged?That’s exactly what the battery meter is there for. A quick glance tells you your charge level before you walk out the door. No guessing, no testing the device on accident. It’s the one feature that puts this stun gun ahead of most options at this price point. Is this easy to use under pressure?Yes. There’s no complicated mechanism. Grip it, press the activation button, and it fires. The shape is designed for a natural hold so you’re not fumbling in a stressful moment. The flashlight function also activates separately, so you can use it as a light without triggering the stun feature. Can I carry this in my purse or bag?Absolutely. It’s compact and comes with a nylon holster that clips to a bag strap or belt. Keep it accessible — not buried. The whole point of carrying it is being able to reach it fast. Practice where you keep it so it becomes second nature. Is a 90-million-volt stun gun actually strong enough to work?Real talk: voltage ratings on stun guns vary by manufacturer and testing method. What matters is the amperage and contact. This device delivers a strong, disorienting shock designed to incapacitate an attacker long enough for you to get away. It’s not meant to cause lasting harm — it’s meant to buy you time. That’s the goal.
