Taser Comes Out With Consumer Model Thursday, November 03, 2005
Taser says the weapon is ideal for anyone who comes and goes at odd hours.
The X26C (search) weighs just seven ounces, is a bit bigger than a cell phone and looks like a pistol.
Like its big brother, used by police departments, the X26C fires twin probes on wires and packs a 50,000 volt shock.
The $1,000 price tag includes a holster, a DVD and a certificate for one-on-one training with a certified instructor.
CEO Rick Smith (search) says each X26 will be registered to the buyer. When fired, it releases confetti-like paper, each piece bearing the weapon's serial number, an effort to deter criminal use.
