If you’re looking for one in particular which will get the job done, you’d be well advised to check out the Striking Distance stun gun.

Accurately described by Damsel in Defense as a “hand-held nightmare,” the Striking Distance stun gun produces six million volts of electricity and is 12-inches long, giving it that extra reach needed to create an effective safe zone and held fend off an attack. It boasts an ergonomic grip and runs on a Nickel meta-hydride (NiMH) battery. In addition, it is 9.2 ounces in weight and has an LED flashlight on it. Best of all, this stun gun comes with a disable pin which prevents an attacker from using this stun gun against you if you become disarmed.
