The SD has been my everyday carry for a year now. Reliable, easy to use, and I feel genuinely protected without needing a firearm. The pull-pierce tech is brilliant — no safety to fumble with.
Bought the LE after comparing all three models. The trigger upgrade makes a huge difference in follow-up shots. Fast shipping from Great Lakes SDP, and they answered all my questions promptly. Five stars.
The CL is remarkable. Smaller than my phone and I can’t even feel it in my waistband. Same energy as the LE? Incredible engineering. This is the future of personal security.
