They have one model in the 350-400 range, and the prices keep going down.

I know the prices were scary initially, but like anything that goes away with volume.

That's why I asked about them. For a grand it's a bit ridiculous, but in the $250 range rapidly approaching, I thought they deserved another look as maybe a more usable alternative to OC.

OC has lots of problems. LE departments are not moving to the Taser because of the cool yellow color.

Just trying to guage if their effectiveness applies to non LEO situations.
Ignore price for a second and then what do you guys think about them?
