VTS-989 Stun Gun for Self Defense Rechargeable with LED Flashlight

Vipertek VTS-989 is one of the most powerful budget friendly stun guns you can get and in Ohio, you do not need a permit to carry concealed or a license to own one. It's well crafted, does exactly what it's supposed to and I would not be remotely surprised that if an assailant is in hearing distance of something like this that they would think twice about what they're planning to do.

Very nice and compact. Has a case of be can put on the belt for easy access. It was delivered in a timely fashion.

I’ve always had a stun gun in my pocket whether I’m walking by myself or with my dog. My previous SG died (after 35 years!), so I shopped for a replacement. I told my husband I was shopping, and he said, “Oh! Get me one, too!” I ordered them in the morning, and they arrived the same day. They were partially charged right out of the box, so, of course, we had to “air fire” them. The crackle alone is impressive and would make any assailant think twice. As others have mentioned, the holster is pretty wimpy, but my husband likes to play with leather, so he’s going to make us new ones. I generally carry mine in my pocket, anyway, so not a big deal. I also carry a small flashlight, so not sure how much I’ll use that feature, but it’s still handy. We put them on chargers to fully charge. My husband used the charger that came with the SG. I put mine on my phone charger. Mine was done faster, so he switched his SG to his phone charger, and it, too, finished quickly. I’ll update this review in a few months when we’ve seen how well they hold a charge, but, so far, we think this was a good choice.

Shipped fast. Ordered on a Thusday for a Monday delivery to CA. Got it on Saturday. It's loud. I don't know how effective it actually is and I hope I never have to find out but it sounds menacing. The case is kind of tight so it's hard to remove with one hand so I'll probably replace that and the charging cable is way too short so I'll replace that as well. Overall, I'm pleased with my purchase.

It's 5am and I just finished my daily walk of 1 hour.I plugged in the stun gun flashlight because I used the light some....It has been months since I checked the charge. It took less than a minute to fully charge. This thing is amazing!!!! I think I'll buy some more just cause I love it so much! You have to get you one of these babies!

Purchased this unit for Christmas for my daughter, son-in-law, wife and myself and am impressed by the simplicity and sound intimidation made by the unit. I feel better confident they will be able to operate it if needed.
