    The M-26 model works great. It's very effective when used. The laser sight is very helpful. The only problem with the M-26, and the reason I rated it 4 stars and not 5, is it's just way to big to carry on a duty belt. The newer x-26 is much smaller and more practical for a patrol officer to carry.

    I like the M26 better than the X26 only because the grip is bigger and doesn't feel as "dainty" as the X26. I have used my Taser many many times and it has never let me down.

    The X-26 is much better, I have seen and heard of the M-26 be ineffective, when deployed. I haven't heard it in regards to the M-26

    Great concept however, a lot of controversy around them. I dont like u have to be shot w/it before you are certified to carry. No one shot me w/my Glock 33 before I could carry it.

    I have carried the M-26 for the past 3 years. I have used it many times and found that it is another great tool. My only complaint is that you have to recharge the batteries every couple of weeks. My agency issues the X-26 and will eventually phase out the M26. The fat boys like me still get to carry "Old Betsy", which I don't mind. Alot of people think that I have 2 pistols on my duty belt. Let them pick out which laser is pointed at them!

    Yet, another effective tool for us. Gotta keep in mind that this is not an 'end-all'. You will usually need to have lethal force at the ready when deploying a Taser. Ride the Lightning. Yee-Haw !!!

    What can I say? I carry a taser full time on duty and have used it more than enough. The taser takes the fight out of most suspects. I have only had one suspect fight back after being tasered and that was because he was given a drive stun first. No more drive stuns only probes. Great tool for us to have and people know that our department is carrying them and they dont want to fight or run anymore. They know the lightning is coming if they do.

    I became a firm beleiver in the M-26 the day we had training with them. The ride was the worst thing about the traing since I was harpooned with it. The size took some getting used to, but I thought it was the smartest choice when our department went with them.......

    Wouldn't work a shift without one. I even had to use it on a charging rotweiller who was at least 100 pounds. Knocked him the ground. Got up three more times charging and each time dropped like rock. The last time he stayed on the round, afraid to get up.

    I HAVE BEEN CARRYING THE M-26 FOR ABOUT 4 YEARS NOW AND HAVE USED IT TWICE. AN ABSOLUTE LIFE SAVER. WAITING FOR THE X26, WHICH WILL ALLOW ME A LITTLE MORE ROOM ON MY BELT. LOVE THE PRODUCT.

    I too carry the M26 and I am happy with it. we have the option of carrying this on our belt, or on a leg holster. I personally carry it on my leg. Haven't had to use it yet, but I'm sure it will be a great tool soon.
    I wouldn't mind the X26, but I'll take whatever they can give me.

    It's a good item to have. It works well. It is a little to big to wear with everything else I have on my gun belt. I would like to move on to the x26.

    Great tool. I used to use them when I worked for a private police Dept.The certification is something I never want to go through again, but I can say first hand that it is very effective. The only things I've noticed are when they come new the safety is a little stiff and needs to be broken in for quick use and the batteries deplete quickly sometimes. Sure beats one of the old school EBID's.

    I love using this instead of pepper spray! Great tool to stop someone cold in their tracks. I took a hit for training purposes. It felt as though I was hit with a cinder block......

    Very large and cumbersome to carry. The batteries don't hold a long life. All in all, wonderful tool to prevent injury to good guys and bad guys in a potentially hazardous situation.

    We had to go through the process of getting stunned by one of these if we were going to carry it. The pain dont last long. It is well worth it.

    Useful product, but trigger is hard to activate. Large size takes up too much room on duty belt and makes it hard to draw.

    This is an excellent less than lethal force option. I prefer this piece of equipment over pepperspray or the expandable baton because there are no lasting after effects and it has been proven that this force option actually lowers both officer and suspect injuries.

    the M-26 is a great tool for patrol officer, but it is on the bigger side than compared to its predecessor the X26, but still contains the same stopping power as the X26...great tool but do prefer the smaller X26

    Would have given this Taser a higher rating, but the size is ridiculous. Besides that, the butt of the weapon resembles a Glock, leading to the potential for confusion during a high-stress incident.
