Taser is now offering the X26P to the consumer buying public. The newly improved single-shot X26P uses the same standard TASER cartridge as the X26C and includes new enhancements and safety features that integrate core elements of the Smart TASER platform from the TASER X2. "The new X26P will feel familiar to many law enforcement officers, combining the form factor and cartridge from the original X26C with improved ergonomics, weatherproofing, and updated Smart technology features," said CEO and founder Rick Smith. "Smart technology adds enhanced safety and performance, improved data and analytics together with superior quality, reliability and durability."

"The X26P is a result of 10 years of technological advancements and the 'TASER Experience,' incorporating the voice of our customers and their needs with our world class research and support teams. The voice of the customer is critical to our success and based on this feedback we know there is a continuing market need for a cost effective single-shot device similar to the X26C which does not require substantial new training or changing inventories of cartridges. We found in our testing that some of our customers wanted the feature-rich improvements from the X2, but delivered in the X26 form factor. The X26C was our most popular model but had not seen any major change in nearly a decade -- until now."

"The TASER X26P reaches back to the basics of what makes TASER great in the hands of officers. Details about every deployment can now be traced back to the unit, making the X26P easier to use and ultimately easier to trust," concluded Smith.
