The Sting Ring stun gun is built to sit in the palm of your hand, with your middle finger through the top ring for a secure hold. A red button on the underside rests right against your palm, so squeezing your fist fires the stun function. It carries a manufacturer rating of 18 million volts and recharges with an included cord that plugs into a standard wall outlet.
How It’s Held and Activated
Slide your middle finger through the ring at the top so the unit sits secure in your fist. A red button on the underside lands against your palm. Squeeze your hand and that pressure presses the button, firing the stun function. There is nothing separate to switch on first, the grip itself does the work.
About the Voltage Rating
This stun gun carries a manufacturer-listed rating of 18 million volts. Actual voltage output can be difficult to measure and independently verify, so this number should be understood as the manufacturer’s stated rating rather than a laboratory-confirmed measurement.
Important Product Limits
This is a direct-contact stun gun, not a probe-firing device. Contact placement, clothing, contact time, and battery charge all affect how it performs, and no stun gun can promise it will stop every attacker.

A ring-grip design like this one makes sense for someone who wants a self-defense option that stays secure in hand and is easy to activate under pressure. Keep it charged and keep it where you can reach it.
I’ve been in the self-defense industry since the early 90s, and I stock products that make sense for everyday people.

Bought this for my girlfriend who walks to her job in the city. She loves how easy it is to carry and that you don’t have to aim like pepper spray. Great idea and great size.

I’m in college and walk to my night classes, so this is perfect. It’s small enough that no one knows I have it, but it makes me feel safe just having it on me.

I’m 6’8″ and work security at a downtown club. This thing is solid, no doubt, and its compact and loud as hell when you fire it. Only thing I wish is if that they made the finger loop just a little bigger. It still works, but I have to wedge it in a bit. Otherwise, top-tier self-defense tool. My hand is so big people don’t know what is coming if i have to use it. 🤣 haha.

I work downtown and sometimes take the light rail late. This fits in my hand like a key fob and feels solid. Super quick to activate. I’d definitely recommend this to coworkers.

I like the size because it fits one finger and sits in the palm of my hand like a set of keys would.
