Byrna SD: Compact, Reliable Less-Lethal Defense for Hawai‘i
The Byrna SD is our most popular less-lethal pistol, designed for home and personal defense without the need for a firearm permit or background check. Compact, lightweight, and powered by compressed air (CO₂), the Byrna SD fires .68 caliber projectiles, including kinetic and chemical irritant rounds (sold separately), allowing you to defend yourself from a safe distance.
Unlike traditional firearms, the Byrna SD is not classified as a firearm—making it a legal and effective self-defense option for Hawai‘i residents.
