This product is amazing.
Highly durable and very strong.
Looks well put together.
Plus the tip is ridged. You could beat someone up with it, or use it to break glass in an emergency.
The light is very bright. If you shine this light into your own or someones eyes, they will see nothing but the light. After you stop shining it in the eyes, the person will feel disoriented, not see clearly, and have a very hard time reading for a few minutes.
The stun gun is Powerful. My friend has a stun gun that is 400,000 volts. We tested it on each other. It was enough to contract all the muscles in one arm(we tested it on the arm) I tested this one on myself(again on the arm)
The upper part of my body had contractions and especially both arms became useless.
Its like having 3 different "Ima Screw you up" weapons in one.
There are three settings for the switch as far as i can tell.
1. Off (both the light and stun gun are off)
2. Light (The light is on. the stun gun is off, and can not be turned on with the stun button)
3. Stun(The stun gun is unlocked and able to be used in this setting. you simply push the button on the opposite side of the device from the switch.)
You can not turn on the stun gun and flash light at the same time. Which I dont see that as that bad of a downside.
The only thing that i saw off with it was on the inside of the flashlight ending near the glass i saw a few scratch marks, but it was nothing big, just something i noticed aesthetically.
If you think youd like one, BUY IT. It is worth it

I bought the first one for my wife, who sometimes has to leave the office at night and walk 1-2 blocks in a high crime area. While, I wish that she would leave during daylight hours or carry a gun, she is not comfortable with that, nor do we want to deal with the aftermath of lethally shooting someone.I spent some time training her and she is now ready to use it. Here's what she does:
1. Puts the lanyard on her wrist. This is important so she doesn't accidentally drop the light or have it knocked away.
2. Uses the flashlight to illuminate her path. It is very powerful light, with a good wide throw and helps her to see her surroundings well. What is an added plus is that if she is approached, by an attacker, she can direct it to shine in their face which will temporarily blind/disorient them...and what happens when someone shines a bright light in your face? You put up your hands to sheild your eyes. In terms of an attacker, he is now giving you a target to use the business end of the stun gun.
3. I showed her how to switch it on so she understands how loud and powerful it is. I also instructed her not to jab, but to hold and press the stun gun end against the assailant for 2-3 seconds. A short jab will only deliver a short burst, but if you hold it on them for 2-3 seconds, the full current will be deployed, disabling their muscle control and they will fall to the ground. This will incapacitate the attacker for a few minutes...enough time for her to run away.
We practiced this (without the battery in it) until she was comfortable and quick. I hope she doesn't have to use it, but at least now knowing she is ready to protect herself, I can rest easier.
PROS:
lanyard: use to prevent accidental dropping or getting knocked away from you.
body: a sturdy, well made casing. Strong enough for smashing glass...or noses
light: very bright, useful for lighting up a clear wide view as well as momentarily blinding an attacker
controls: easy to use, logical in layout
CONS
I do worry about accidentally going off in her purse. Wish the switch had a better safety configuration.
NOTE: I recommend rehearsing several times on how to use it. If you or your loved one is under attack, adrenaline will be high, thinking time will be short and there will be small room for error ...so I highly recommend practicing.
As a side note, my daughter, who is a college student in a big city saw it, and asked me to get her one too as she walks through some bad sections of town between her apartment and the university buildings. I'm placing my second order now.
Best Deals for Guard Dog Security 160 Lumen Tactical Flashlight with Stun Gun
It definetely makes and impressive loud noise when activated & I am glad my girlfriend has not had to use it at all.I think it should be clearly stated that five inches of the over-all body is metal & the rear one inch (the charging female part of it) is plastic. This particular design makes the rear part of it breakable big-time. The attachment of the rear plastic section of it does not feel very solid.
I used this product for about three weeks before letting my girl try it out. Unfortunately I was not able to give her the lanyard since it broke about the fourth day of using it(cheap material for show only) so make sure you get a good heavy duty lanyard if you plan to buy this product.
The holder has a open design which does not help keep this product in place. My girl complained that when she looks for it in her hand bag she will often find the flashlight out of the holder. So you will have to get a better holder cover for it..that is for sure, so keep that it mind.
Manual is not as descriptive, lacks specifications & states facts that are not true at all. For example, you are supposed to charge your product for a few hours until you see a green light turn-on. Well, that never happen after a seven hour charge. I used common sense since electronics of that size should not take more than six hours, but I left it for seven just in case.
Still i think that should be described in the manual or at least, something like " use common sense while charging" or actually making it happen so that you can know that it is fully charged. Power cord is really short too..so same thing there boys.
If by any chance you accidentaly have the switch on-stun mode(which happens often with that cheap holder) the tip of it will give you a WAKE-UP-shock very minimal but will wake-up you up for sure or freak you-out if you are a drama queen.
Manufacturer, if you by any chance are reading your product's reviews. I would suggest to improve the overall body, make it 100 percent metal. Also, maybe adding a warning feature that lets you know that the current charge is not the most addecuate for usage. A better holder & lanyard would help too so that there is not additional investment. A better manual.. Oh & I do not care if it has a cheap chocolate box packaging...just make sure I do not have to use a black Sharpe to fix aesthetic defects.
Overall, I am 50/50 about buying another one..I was going to buy one today, but for all the reasons I just described..I am going to keep doing my research & reading reviews for alternatives...So keep that in mind because it is something to thing about...
Honest reviews on Guard Dog Security 160 Lumen Tactical Flashlight with Stun Gun
The real Guard Dog Diablo flashlight stun gun is 4.5 million volts and is made of aluminum, not plastic. The product that is the genuine article is well made and durable. I was especially pleased at how bright the 160 lumen light is and feel that the price for the light alone is worth the price. Although there is no safety switch for the button that fires the stun gun, you have to push the light switch to the third position before pushing the button to discharge the stun gun. Beware of buying the $26 knockoff which is not the Diablo, but a cheaply made in China imitation. I was initally hesitant about buying the Guard Dog because of some of the negative comments; however, after analyzing some of the statements, I began to realize that the negative statements were made by people who had purchased the cheaply made knockoff. C'mon, be real... you are not going to be able to purchase a $100+ device for $26! Order the real one for $54. I am so pleased with my purchase that I just ordered a second one.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Guard Dog Security 160 Lumen Tactical Flashlight with Stun Gun
Light is super bright! Stun seems great but have not stunned anyone yet to know for sure. Had a few very small scratches on arrival but fixed pretty easily with a sharpie pen. Found out from customer service that batteries are supposedly Lithium Ion. Strangely though... can not confirm Lithium Ion batteries from any packaging. Designed very sturdily out of mostly metal (of some kind).Things that stink...
1. The documentation and info on box is extremely lame.
2. No way to know when gun needs to be recharged or is fully charged. They simply say "charge between 4-8 hours but no more than 16" and to "charge frequently". I think that this sounds logical if it does use Lithium Ion. Only a red LED that is constantly lit while charging. I remember reading somewhere that the led is supposed to turn to green when done charging. In my experience, it never turns green. as a result... I find myself wondering after a few days (or any flashlight use) "is the stun gun still adequately charged if I needed to use it?" That being said... it probably is.
3. Holster is super crumby & literally lasted (for me) 5 minutes... Until I ran into a door knob and obliterated the holster immediately. The good news is that I found an aftermarket, leather holster that fits it (flashlight facing down) perfectly. I found it cheaper at the military supply but if you prefer... here is the Amazon item name for the Holster... Bianchi Accumold Elite 7908 Open Top Oc And Light Pouch (Basketweave Black) (cost is roughly $25.)
4. Charging cord is extremely short (as other reviewers have noted).
Have not figured out (or really, really tried to) how to open the device. My impression is that opening it is very difficult. This might be a good thing as you probably could stun yourself accidentally if you did open it.
Amazon is cheapest I could find on the web and occasionally sells these for less than $50. incl. S&H. I think it is a very good value at this price.
All that being said... I am generally very, very, happy with the flashlight / Stun Gun itself and think it is the best currently available of this kind/style. All my friends are impressed with it also (some have other models similar to this one but they R plastic).
