Sports reviews of Comtech Stinger James Keating Re-designed Self Defense
Customer Review: Don't leave home without it!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
This is a potentially lifesaving, amazing little piece of indestructible high-density plastic. Fitting in the palm of one's hand with only its tip protruding between the fingers, the Stinger works as a force multiplier, concentrating all the power of a punch in a small point. You don't really need to hit with full strength to see the incredible effectiveness of the Stinger. With a little training, a quick and firm jab with moderate strength will break the bones in an attacker's hand, ribs or jaws, or cause great pain wherever it hits. And with no risk at all of hurting yourself or breaking any bones in YOUR hand. I guess a really strong punch in the temple or skull could even kill someone, so use extreme care in avoiding those areas unless the situation warrants the use of lethal force.
This device was designed by James Keating, an expert in knives, hand-to-hand combat and self defense. It was inspired by the design of a push dagger, which is a vicious knife for close quarters combat but illegal in many places. Unlike a knife, the Stinger doesn't draw blood, doesn't require any maintenance, never needs to be sharpened and is undetectable in one's pocket.
Since it doesn't come with any instructions, some people hold the Stinger incorrectly. It is meant to be held between the second and third fingers, with the key ring hole down towards the middle of the palm.
Some reviewers complain about discomfort in the hand when hitting. I would suggest training some punches with this device, aiming at a padded surface. I've noticed that there is a conditioning effect on the hand - in the first few days I felt some minor discomfort due to the impact, which quickly disappeared.
The big advantage of this small device is that you can carry it anywhere, and quickly put it in your hand if you are in a suspicious environment. Ideally, you would already have it in your hand before an attacker openly comes at you. Since it fits firmly in the palm, your fingers are free to hold a bag, purse or coat, helping to conceal the Stinger.
At the time of this review, Amazon only sells the black Stinger, even though it is made in different solid and translucent colors, and a clear version. I purchased both the black and the clear models directly from James Keating's website (great customer service, btw). I have to agree with the other reviewers about the recommendation to go with the clear model if you want discretion. It is nearly invisible in one's hand, and looks much less like a weapon than the black version. (I prefer the black Stinger only when using black gloves - it is the perfect self defense companion to my pair of Damascus MX50Q Viper cut resistant gloves.)
I carry mine everywhere. Highly recommended!
Thanks for reading - hope this helps!
Description of Comtech Stinger James Keating Re-designed Self Defense
This is the newest version of the Comtech Stinger. It is slightly larger than the old version and the key ring hole is thicker and much stronger. The lines on the new version are much cleaner which, compared to the old version, gives you a much firmer grip. It now also comes in a matte finish. James Keating developed this tool many years ago and the Stinger has become a household name in personal self defense circles. It is designed to be a simple key chain tool that will also act as a "Force multiplier". It is very easily carried and concealed and it is an effective tool to stun an attacker, allowing you time to escape. The Stinger measures about 1/2" thick x 2" wide x 3" longWeapons
