Byrna CL Compact Launcher
The Byrna CL is a pocket‑size device that fires .61‑caliber plastic or pepper‑filled pellets with compressed CO₂. It delivers about 400 feet‑per‑second muzzle speed—roughly 40 % more punch than the older Byrna SD—yet it’s shorter than most smartphones, so it’s easy to carry every day. Byrna
Why people like it
-
Ultra‑compact: 38 % smaller than the Byrna SD and 44 % smaller than the LE model, so it slips into a purse, waistband, or glove box. Byrna
-
Ready on the first squeeze: Pull‑Pierce™ tech leaves the 8‑gram CO₂ cartridge un‑pierced until you pull the trigger, preventing slow leaks in storage. Up to 15 good shots per cartridge. Byrna
-
Long‑reach defense: Accurate and effective to roughly 60 feet, giving you three‑plus times the standoff distance of traditional pepper spray. Byrna
-
Upgrade‑friendly: Slide is pre‑cut for a micro red‑dot; fiber‑optic iron sights and an under‑barrel rail are already installed. Byrna
