Byrna - Anyone have firsthand experience?

Valid points. You could come up with a similar list for the use of a 9mm semiautomatic pistol.
And I think many have the wrong idea about why this interests me. My goals for home defense are STOP THE THREAT and KEEP ALL OTHERS SAFE. If that means killing a murderous drug-addled attacker, I do have firearms and am willing to use them. There are risks here, as well. I need to maintain proficiency and a stray bullet, ricochet, etc. could cause harm to others in the house. Luckily, we don't have a risk to neighbors problem, but some do.
Anyway, that was my thought process...

Having been a “target” more than once; I believe that fumbling with a gizmo is too dangerous unless one is well forewarned.

As Ayoob says, be alert, hand ON holstered GUN.

I always thought 9mm was a good non-lethal option.

I heard a story once about a drunken idiot playing the fool after beating down his woman who called on his drunk ass.

When 5-0 rolls up, the drunk is on a second floor balcony at an apartment complex. Being the drunk idiot he was he grabs a bottle of charcoal lighter fluid & starts hose the balcony down.

The cop that rolled up was an older fatter guy with plenty of time on the force. It was at a stupid hour in the morning & the commotion pretty much had most of the neighbors up watch the events .

Being the old fat wiser cop he was, he grabs the shotgun loads a single bean bag load & pops the idiot in he is belly. Good thing for the landscaping having bushes around because the impart of the bean bag caused the idiot to fall off the balcony. That old cop walks over & cuffs the drunken idiot without any resistance from him.

obiden says the 9mm will blow the lungs out, so it can't be non-lethal.

Who needs ‘lungs”, anyway ?
