New BYRNA LE Gen. 2 – Non-Lethal Pepper Gun / CO₂ Launcher (Free Holster w/ Purchase)

Brand: Byrna

$499.99

The Byrna LE Gen 2 is the most refined and capable LE platform Byrna has released to date. Building on the proven LE foundation, the Gen 2 introduces a redesigned trigger interface, updated valve assembly, and a new one-piece extended bottom rail that now runs all the way back to the trigger guard.

Sold by S.A. Self Defense, this Universal Kit ships without chemical projectiles, making it legal in all U.S. states and ideal for users who want a high-performance kinetic setup or prefer to select their defensive ammo separately.

🔑 Key Features

• .68 caliber less-lethal launcher
• Redesigned Gen 2 trigger interface
• Red-dot-ready top slide
One-piece extended bottom Picatinny rail
• Honeycomb over-molded grip for improved control
• Ambidextrous safe/fire selector
• Straight trigger design
• High-visibility white dot iron sights
• Patented Pull-Pierce CO₂ system
• Durable polymer frame
• Mid-sized pistol platform

🔥 What’s New on the Byrna LE Gen 2

✔ Redesigned Trigger & Valve Assembly

The Gen 2 trigger interface delivers a smoother, lighter, and more consistent trigger pull (4–6 lbs), improving control, accuracy, and overall shooting experience.

✔ Red-Dot Ready Top Slide

The updated top slide is designed to support the Byrna or S.A. Self Defense Red Dot Pro Optic Sight, allowing optic mounting without modification.

✔ One-Piece Extended Bottom Rail (Major Upgrade)

The Gen 2 features a fully integrated, one-piece bottom Picatinny rail that now extends all the way back to the trigger guard.

Compared to Gen 1:

  • Gen 1 used a separate drop-down rail

  • Gen 2 uses a single, reinforced rail molded into the frame

This upgrade provides:
• Increased rigidity and durability
• More secure light and laser mounting
• Improved alignment with fewer movement points

✔ Updated Frame Geometry & Width

Because the rail is now one continuous piece, the Gen 2 has a slightly different width profile compared to the Gen 1 LE. This improves strength and accessory stability but may affect compatibility with some Gen 1-specific holsters or rail accessories.

Always verify holster and accessory compatibility when upgrading from Gen 1.

✔ Patented Pull-Pierce CO₂ Technology

CO₂ remains unpunctured until the first trigger pull, puncturing and firing simultaneously for instant readiness and extended seal life.
