Yes!! We need these in our dept. Great tool to have on the belt.

I love these things, beats pepper spray, Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzt!

AWESOME! During training this thing put me down, I know that the X-26 is no joke.

The TASER X-26 is without a doubt the greatest tool ever invented for Law Enforcement. I carry this on duty every night and it has never failed me.

I agree, great tool if used properly. The spark test still makes me jump and remember when it dropped my big ass on the floor. Made a great video though!

Absolutely the best tool on my duty belt. Much like the sound of a shotgun being racked, the simply motion of drawing this item from its holster has quelled many a volatile situation.

A must have for all police agencies! Easy to use and packs a punch! Everyone needs this tool on your belt while working!

At first I didn't like the idea of using electricity to control someone, but after my certification class on electronic control devices I definitely changed my mind. I feel this product is by far a more effective tool than OC Spray. The X26 is easy to use and does an excellent job of controlling a combative subject.

The X26 is compact and fits snug on the officrs duty belt without taking up a lot of room. There are several styles of holsters available for this taser. Don't leave the office with out it.

Great tool..to have in your toolbox...Once you pull it out ..most drop to the ground..Much more effective than OC..

Although it is more debilitating than OC, the X26 doesnt share it's lasting effects. Had my ride, it pissed me off more than anything. Works good enough just as a visual deterrent.
X= instant compliance

i am a teser instructor . i think this is the best non leathal device yet

Thank God for it has saved countless lives and prevented alot of injuries to the good guy.

I WISH I HAD ONE

Don't carry one but, have been zapped by one by my over zealous drunk friends.

It worked. Even on my drunk @ss.

Love this tool . Great power and size recommend for all offices.

Best Tool that has been made for Law enforcement in a long time Ride the Lighting

This is a good tool that needs to be add to all agencies arsenals.

Since the very first day I was issued the Taser X-26 I have not wacked anyone with my ASP baton. I can’t remember the last time I even used it. The Taser X-26 not only is very effective in apprehending the uncooperative suspects it also saves you a lot of creative writing when it comes to filling out the use of force reports.

Excellent tool! It works while limiting injuries to the suspect and the officer.

I have seen these in action. All I have to say is......God I wish I had one for the Detention Center.

This is an amazing life saving tool!!!! I served in Iraq for eight and a half months last year. My job was to run the Special Housing Unit (SHU) for the largest concentration of detainees (terrorists that are awaiting trial) in the world (approximately 15,000-20,000). My people and I had numerous physical altercations and contact on a daily basis and less than lethal force was the only option available for officer protection. I am certified by DoD to use the TASER X26e and will stand by it's effectiveness as a life saving tool (not a life taking weapon as some politicians both in uniform and out have said). The various cartridges allow for different uses as far as distance goes. The laser sight allows the officer to track his target even during take downs. The best feature I think is the ability to convince the subject that they really should comply with every and all commands/directions given. By removing the cartridge and pulling the trigger, you can display the current they will feel should they continue to resist. As long as I (or one of my people) used the TASER X26, none of my people or the detainees were ever injured. A bright red dot on your chest, or the display of active current along with the warning that it will be used are strong arguments to 'stop resisting' (which incidentally was our unit motto over there).

I have used this tool multiple times and love the effect it has on suspects. The general response from the bad guy is, "I will do what ever you want, just don't shoot me with that thing again!" It makes a believer out of anyone who is exposed to it, quickly......

The X-26 Taser is one of the best tools at our disposal as Detention Officers. I have used it several times to bring a situation under control quickly. The use of the Taser has helped us to avoid injuries to officers and inmates by eliminating the need to get into a Polyester Pile Up when dealing with a disorderly subject. It has been an excellent tool and one that most inmates want to avoid.

The X-26 is one Bad Mofo!!!!

I agree with this taser, it is totally awesome! it takes down people and leaves them there for a few seconds

The X26 is worth every penny, I would hate to go without it.

Used it twice on a male subject and four times on dogs. Works great on dogs. Male subject continued to fight after five seconds. Also requires too much paperwork after deploying.

nice to have but the M26 is just as effective and about $300 less.

Three words says it all
I LOVE IT

1st a disclaimer, I'm a Taser Master Instructor and am a little biased, BUT in 30+ years on the job this is by far the best tool ever to subdue suspects.

i want one just so i can shoot something with it and watch it twitch. i won't kill it though don't worry. i hope.

This TASER is department issue where I am at. It fits good in your hand and is extremely accurate. I wish we'd had these years ago.

I love it. All you have to do is act like your going to pull it out and you usually get compliance. Although there are a few who "Forgot" and get to ride the wave a second time.

As they told me in Instructor School - "If they bought the ticket to ride the Taser Tron, don't deny them the full ride." I'd take the probes any day of the week and twice on Sunday over spray!!! Can't wait for the XRep to be on the market!!

It is the best thing they could have for law enforcement. Officers new best friend

EXTREMELY EFFECTIVE TOOL!! WORKS ON THE PHYSICAL AND MENTAL ASPECTS OF THE HUMAN BODY. I KNOW, I REFUSE TO GET ZAPPED AGAIN!!!!

I work in a jail. I would much rather use this tool than pepperspray. If you have been on the job long enough you know very well that alot people do not react to some pepperspray. The X-26 Tazer will incapcitate you for five seconds so that you can restrain the suspect.

OVER THE TIME THAT I HAVE WORKED IN CORRECTIONS I HAVE NEVER SEEN A MORE EFFECTIVE TOOL. O.C. SPRAY WILL WORK TO AN EXTENT BUT THE X-26 IS THE BEST TOOL THAT ANY LAW ENFORCEMENT OR CORRECTIONS OFFICER CAN HAVE AS A NON LETHAL WEAPON. IT WORKS WONDERS

Just hope that you hit em with both of the barbs otherwise youre gonna have problems. This piece of equiptment will drop cattle. It works as good as you use it.

I simply love this piece of equipment. This is the best thing that has come out for the defence law enforcement officers. I have used this tool numerous times and glad to carry it on my belt. Wouldn't leave home without it.

In my opinion, one of the best tools to come to law enforcement in a long time ( as long as I dont have to get shot again ). hehe

As an instructor for our department I can't say enough about the X26. It's easier to handle compared to the M26 and still kicks a punch. If your department hasn't gone to the Taser I would highly recommed it. You don't have to fire it to get someone's attention. Once you pull it out of your holster and the subject see's you've got one, he usually complies, quickly.

Tasers are awesome. My new department currently doesn't have them and I think they are tired of hearing me praise this tool every chance I get!!! I'm hoping that we get some this coming year. I hate being on the road without one!

We aquired this at our Agency over 2 years ago. Specifically within the jail, it has had a dramatic effect in gaining compliance of hostile inmates. That "little red dot" is enough for the majority to understand the consequences of poor choices. Having "rode the lightning" myself, I can tell you I do not want to experience it again. It can deliver another cycle at the first notice of non-compliance or maintain a constant pulse incapacitating the subject until further back up can arrive.

This particular product has a unique way of gaining compliance from non-compliant individuals very quickly by shocking the living shit out of them!

Only thing I can say about the Taser is.. Thank you for making it.

if im correct the new desgin in the taser is diffrent from older taser that use sheer pain to kncock a man over but you can just shrug that off so in the new taser that have new technolgy where is shuts down teh centrel nervous system for the 5 seconds so basiclly your body no long belongs to you so its a very good product

cant wait to get one! heard alot of great things about it.

The X-26 Taser is an awesome tool to carry. The word gets out when your department begins to carry the Taser and your use of force goes way down. I trust this product to work when I need it. Nine times out of ten when you put the red dot (laser) on the perp you usually get the results you need. If not light’em up!!! They will have 50K reasons to do what you ask!

I have used this product seven times as of last night. This little locomotive really hits hard, nothin better than selling a 50,000 Volt ride of lightining!

love this product it's a great new tool for us. nothing like letting the bad guy ride the lightning!

I had the pleasure of carring this when I worked in TX. I loved it alot. When I pulled it out got complete complicance with it everytime. Never had to actually deploy it on anyone.

Got to be the best tool we have had in the 23 years I have been in law enforcement.

I have seen it in action and I have been hit with an older form of the taser. My only two questions are: Are they civilian legal? and Where and for how much can I get one for my shop?

By far the BEST tool (not weapon) I have on my belt!

Great tool for anyone in any field in law enforcement. I am in detention and just the threat of using the taser if plenty to calm down an unruly inmate. The media saying that this product is cruel and is killing people need to be shot with it and then sprayed with OC spray and they can decide which one is worse.

Wonderful product, effective and easy to use. The laser pointer and bright LED are a great addition. The record keeping abilities is also a great addition as well. Great product and a must have for the duty belt.

A very effective tool that limis officer injury a must have on any LE duty rig

I have carried this weapon for the last four years and it by far been one of the most valuable tools we have to reducing force encounters. I have drawn my taser approx. 10-11 times in four years and have gained compliance without having to discharge it.
To RGM, there is a civilan model available. It's called the C2 and is available at a number of sporting goods stores and police supply stores. The C2 has a 30 second discharge that uses a staggered pulse rate. I have gone through a class where the C2 was demonstrated. It reails for around $350.00 and replacement cartridges are sold in a two-pack for around $50.00. Taser Intl. does require resgistration to activate the unit as well as registering the cartridges. The C2 is available in four colors: metallic pink, silver, blue and black. It is designed to be concealable in a pocket or purse. You can view the C2 on Taser's web site.

I just received my Instructors certification on Feb. 7, 2008. I took a 5 second ride and it's no joke. I never felt the probes strike my leg but when the current started, it was the longest 5 seconds that I had no control over my body. I just wanted it to stop. I just purchased my personal Taser X26 and will be teaching my Chief and other officers from neighboring agencies very soon. Great Product to carry for compliance!

IM A TASER INSTRUCTOR....IT TOTALLY IMPRESSED ME THE FIRST TIME I SAW IT USED. UNFORTUNATELY, WE HAD AN IN-CUSTODY DEATH AFTER USING THE TASER, BUT IT WORKED AS PROMISED, THE SUBJECT WAS SUFFERING FROM EXCITED DELIRIUM. EVEN THOUGH THE SUBJECT DIED, HE WOULD HAVE INJURED HIMSELF AND OTHERS FIRST IF THE TASER HADN'T BEEN USED. HE WOULD HAVE DIED ANYWAY....HIS INTERNAL BODY TEMPERATURE WAS THROUGH THE ROOF. I HAVE USED IT SINCE AND IT HAS WORKED MIRACULOUSLY IN GAINING COMPLIANCE.

As a Defensive Tactics Instructor and a TASER instructor, I am impressed with this product. It is not only effective, but is a major Deterrent when even seen on ones belt. Once a Department adopts the use of this weapon and the first couple of deployements occur, the word gets out fast amoung the criminal element, as to how effective it is...

Great device, much more effective than OC, and a great alternative to lethal force.

Very effective tool. Much more reliable that OC. We have had great success with these at our department. I have personally not had the pleasure of using it yet, but there are plenty more "fish in the sea" who can't wait to afford us the opportunity. Seems like a lot of people ask for it though... I mean literally taunt us yelling "TASE ME... COME ON... TASE ME!" Little do they know that I can't wait for the opportunity to grant their request...

Certain people chant and asked to get tased, but I also notice quick compliance from people who have seen it, simply when they hear the rip of the velcro holster fastener. I'm glad to carry it.

Best thing to happen to law enforcement since the mobile radio. Every single police officer in the world should have one on their belt. Built well by a company that not only cares about police officers, they listen to them.

An awesome tool. However, it is not the fix it all tool. When used like it is intended, it can save lives and injuries.

Local guy tried to do suicide by cop holding a knife. He got 5 seconds of voltage and and is still alive. Had this happened before the X26 he would have been shot.

.

I am a instructor for the m26 and x26 taser. The x26 is by far my favorite of the two and is a great tool. I have deployed the taser in the classroom and in the field and have yet to find an individual that it didn't work on. I recommend the extended DPM for the spare cartridge. The attatchment for the holster holds two extra cartridges but is way too bulky and takes up too much room on your belt. I am not a fan of the endoskelton holster because of the way it releases. Other than that I would recommend the x26 to everyone. I wont be caught without it.

Best decision ever made, should be standard issue in every agency.

My previous department had these and they worked perfectly. I am doing everything I can to get my new department to utilize these.

Has svaed me from wrestling with many people on the side of the road or in the bar

With properly placed darts....it will "drop 'em" as advertized.

very effective..not many problems with breakage.

I have had my for about two years and only used it twice, but thank god I had it when I did. This product is the best this since sliced bread. Wish we had one for every one on our department.

you know its bad when you walk in SGT's office and get shocked from behind!! man this thing surly has a BITE!!!

One of the most impressive products i've seen in my 23 years on the job! I just got mine last week and looking back there are a probably a couple dozen time that it would have been "just what the doctor ordered." I don't think I'll be using it a lot, nor will I change my demeanor toward the public just because I have one.

Best thing to come along in a long time. I think it's better than pepper spray. Word has gotten out about tasers and when people see the "red dot" they know it's time to calm down or they'll be riding the lightning. Great tool for law enforcement, cuts down on officer injuries and workers comp. claims.

I cannot wait to add one to my belt. Its just another tool to utilize in this line of work, and I've heard nothin but good from those that carry them now.

Great tool both in drive-stun and probe contact.

I have had 2 X26 deployments and it has worked perfectly both times. It also works well at scaring vicious canines we encounter on the street by just dry firing at them.

This is a great tool in our arsenol, only problem I have is the size, we've recently added the cameras to ours and the x26 went from a great size to "too big for my belt" like the m26 was. It seems they could have incorporated the camera into the light system somehow to maintain the small compact size.

Outstanding tool, takes out suspects very easily with less danger to officers

Two words. WHOOOO HOOOO!!!!!!!!! If you have ever had to ride the lightning, you will know that this tool has got to be one of the most effective in our arsonal. I find it to be the best option to less lethal force out there!

I'll give the X-26 a 5 over the M series. The X-26 is by far a better Taser. There are several other brands coming out that will be more efective. One that shoots .68 caliber balls, The Taser Cartridge, A high Lumen light, Laser and video cam combined a lot on a handheld unit but great for court proceedings but for now the X-26 has my vote.

this taser works extreamly well I recently went through a taser class where we used the X-26 and I was fortunate enough to get hit with it and it isnt a joke they say it is a 5 second ride well it feels like you are getting the shock of your life for atleast 15 seconds and with the older M-26 wich has more of a donkey kick when it hits you this one I couldnt even think about moving till the ride was over, this product is well worth the rating.

I have carried both the m-26 and the x-26. The x-26 is far superior and works as advertised, what more can you say.

send a badass shock through anybodys body

Great item! good things do come in small packages! The light and laser are an added bonus! Don't leave home without it

Bad to the bone!!!

I love it! I carried the M26 which was just to bulky and had to be recharged. This taser has lots of benefits. Great for females due to being more compact, doesn't need to be charged and has a digital display to tell you how much battery is left

I don't have one and have not used one but when I get on with a department I want one. However, I have noticed from the videos on here that they arebextremely effective.

I like this weapon but it's not near as spicy as the M-26! I do like the design of this weapon better it just doesn't seem to have as much juice!

No lasting physical effects, but the mental effect will last a lifetime. DON'T TAZE ME BRO!!!

No lasting physical effects, but the mental effect will last a lifetime. DON'T TAZE ME BRO!!!

Must have for any department.

I have never used it, but hear plenty and would love to get my hands on it to tase some ass!~

Excellant tool for law enforcement. It helps you maintain distance when dealing with a violent suspect. This tool has worked everytime it has been deployed by my department.

This is a wonderful addition to an officers equipment. Just the mere fact of having it will stop most minimal resistance. Just be careful with it as it does not discriminate.

it can shoot a long distances but dose not work so hot in windy conductions

Excellent product. I have carried the M26 and it was just too big the X26 is by far the best choice for police work. Kudos!!!
