Byrna SD Launcher – Universal Kit

The Byrna SD is our most popular less-lethal pistol. This kit contains no chemical projectiles and is legal in all states in the US.

The Byrna SD (Self Defense) is the successor of the Byrna HD. It has been re-engineered for optimal performance. Powered by compressed air (CO2), the Byrna SD shoots .68 caliber round kinetic and/or chemical irritant projectiles that can disable a threat from up to 50-feet away. It is an incredibly powerful and non-lethal self-defense weapon.

The Byrna SD is not classified as a firearm therefore does not require a permit or background check to own. Must be 18 or older to purchase.

* This kit does not come with chemical projectiles.

Is the Byrna SD Universal Kit Right for You?

The Byrna SD Universal Kit is often the starting point for buyers looking for a complete less-lethal defense setup. Unlike launcher-only packages, this kit includes training projectiles, kinetic projectiles, CO2 cylinders, magazines, and a carrying case, allowing users to begin training and familiarizing themselves with the platform immediately.

One reason the SD remains Byrna’s most popular launcher is its balance of size and performance. The SD uses .68 caliber projectiles and offers more impact energy than the smaller CL platform while still remaining compact enough for home, vehicle, office, and travel storage. Many first-time Byrna owners choose the SD because it provides a straightforward introduction to the platform without requiring additional accessories to get started.

When evaluating this kit, buyers should consider how they plan to use it. Those prioritizing maximum concealability may prefer the smaller CL launcher, while users focused on home defense, vehicle carry, and general preparedness often gravitate toward the SD. Many owners also add spare magazines, additional CO2 cylinders, and extra projectile tubes so they can spend more time training and less time reloading during practice sessions.
