At just 6.81 inches long and right around three quarters of a pound, the Byrna CL is the most concealable launcher in the lineup. It runs about 38% smaller than the Byrna SD and 44% smaller than the LE, which means it tucks into a jacket pocket, a purse, a glove box, or a compact holster without printing like the bigger models do. Powered by compressed CO2, it sends .61 caliber kinetic rounds downrange at 400 feet per second with enough energy density to match the much larger LE. That is a lot of punch for something close to the size of a smartphone.
This is the stripped-down version, and that is the whole point. You get the Byrna CL launcher with a high-contrast white dot sight for quick target pickup and a single 5-round magazine. The performance is identical to the loaded Universal Kit. Same launcher, same velocity, same range. The difference is simply that you are building out your own loadout with the CO2, projectiles, and accessories you want instead of paying for a pile of extras you might not use. For folks adding a second or third launcher to the house, or anyone who already knows which rounds they prefer, the Basic Kit is the smart way in.
Byrna's pull-pierce system keeps the CO2 cartridge unpunctured until the first trigger pull, so the launcher can sit loaded and ready for long stretches without bleeding down. There is no external safety lever to fumble with, which keeps the draw fast and snag-free when seconds count. A loaded chamber indicator gives you a quick visual check, and the lower Picatinny rail lets you add a light or laser. The slide is red dot ready with a universal bolt pattern if you want to run an optic down the road.
Reviewers consistently point to the CL as the one you will carry when a full-size launcher would get left at home. Vehicle carry, jogging, rideshare work, travel, home defense, aggressive dog encounters. It fires the proprietary .61 caliber line, so stock up on the matching kinetic rounds and 8-gram CO2 and you are set for both training and defense. Made in the USA with aluminum, steel, and brass internals, this thing is built to run.
The launcher itself is identical between the two, with the same 400 FPS velocity, 60-foot range, and .61 caliber capability. The Basic Kit comes with the white dot sight and a single 5-round magazine in standard carton packaging. The Universal Kit adds an upgraded fiber optic sight, a second magazine, CO2 cartridges, kinetic and training projectiles, and a hard carrying case.
The CL fires Byrna's proprietary .61 caliber projectiles, including kinetic, pepper, MAX, and pro-training rounds. These are not interchangeable with the .68 caliber rounds used in the SD, LE, and other Byrna launchers, so plan to keep that in mind if you own multiple models. It runs on 8-gram CO2 cartridges and delivers around 15 shots per cartridge.
There is no external safety lever, which keeps the draw fast and snag-free. Instead, the CL uses Byrna's patented pull-pierce technology, meaning the CO2 stays unpunctured until your first trigger pull. It also has a loaded chamber indicator for a quick visual check that a round is ready.
Yes. The slide is red dot ready with a universal bolt pattern, so you can mount a compatible optic. The lower Picatinny rail also lets you attach a light or laser if you want to build the launcher out further.
