The TASER Instructor Kit bundles a Pulse 2, StrikeLight 2, and a 10-pack of cartridges. Here's what's inside and a step-by-step way to practice safely.
Quick answer
The TASER Instructor Kit for USCCA members includes a Pulse 2, a StrikeLight 2, a 10-pack of cartridges for the Pulse/Bolt series, and a cobranded USCCA x TASER Panero case. To practice, unpack and inspect the kit, confirm your device and cartridge compatibility, set up a safe target area, load a cartridge, run draw-and-fire drills, then unload and store everything properly.
What the TASER Instructor Kit includes
The kit is built around a TASER Pulse 2 and a StrikeLight 2, so you get a primary self-defense device plus a light accessory in one package. It also includes a 10-pack of cartridges for the Pulse/Bolt series and a cobranded USCCA x TASER Panero case for transport and storage.
Because the kit is listed for USCCA members, check your membership status before ordering if that matters to you. If you already own a Pulse 2 or Bolt device, the cartridge 10-pack is the most immediately useful component; if you are new to TASER ownership, the whole kit gives you a device, a light, and enough cartridges to practice without buying refills right away.
Set up a safe practice area
Choose a location where a deployed cartridge cannot reach another person, pet, or fragile surface. The Self-Defense Cartridges use compressed nitrogen to deploy two probes connected by insulated conductive wires, with a maximum range of 15 feet, so keep the area beyond that distance clear and treat every loaded device as live.
A backstop that can safely catch probes and wires matters more than a large space. If you are practicing indoors, check that the floor and walls behind your target will not be damaged by probes, and pick up spent wires immediately after each drill so they do not become a tripping hazard.
Confirm compatibility before loading
The Self-Defense Cartridges are compatible with the TASER Pulse Series and the TASER Bolt/C2 Series. The kit's cartridges are also listed for the Pulse/Bolt series, so they match the Pulse 2 in the kit. Always verify the cartridge and device markings match before inserting anything.
If you own a different TASER model, do not assume the kit's cartridges will fit. The catalog does not list compatibility beyond the Pulse and Bolt/C2 series, so treat any other device as unconfirmed until you check the manufacturer's guidance.
Load, draw, and fire in a controlled sequence
Practice in a fixed order: load the cartridge, holster the device, take a few steps back, then draw and fire at your target. This sequence mirrors how you would use the device under stress and helps you build a repeatable motion instead of a rushed one.
The Blade-Tech OWB Holster is compatible with the TASER Pulse Series and includes a barrel protector to stop darts in case of accidental misfire, plus a safety cover and a universal belt clip. Those features matter during practice because they reduce the chance of an accidental discharge while the device is holstered.
Unload, inspect, and store after each session
After your last drill, remove the cartridge, check the device and holster for damage, and coil or dispose of spent wires so they do not tangle with live cartridges. Keep live cartridges separate from spent ones so you never load a dud by mistake.
Store the device, cartridges, and holster in the Panero case or another dry location. The catalog does not list storage temperature limits for the kit, so avoid extreme heat or moisture and follow the device manual for anything more specific.
Practice steps
- Unpack and inventory the kit: Open the case and confirm you have the Pulse 2, StrikeLight 2, the 10-pack of Pulse/Bolt cartridges, and the Panero case. Count the cartridges so you know how many practice cycles you have before reordering. Checkpoint: if any item is missing or damaged, resolve it before your first session.
- Verify cartridge and device compatibility: Match the cartridge markings to your device. The kit cartridges are listed for the Pulse/Bolt series, and the Self-Defense Cartridges are compatible with the TASER Pulse Series and TASER Bolt/C2 Series. Common mistake: assuming cartridges fit a device model that is not on the compatibility list.
- Build a safe target area: Position your target so nothing you care about sits within 15 feet of the muzzle, since that is the maximum cartridge range. Clear people, pets, and breakables from the full arc in front of you. Checkpoint: walk the area and confirm the backstop can catch probes and wires.
- Holster the device correctly: Seat the Pulse 2 in the Blade-Tech OWB Holster and confirm the safety cover and barrel protector are in place. Attach the holster using the universal belt clip or the Tek-Lok, and adjust it so the device sits where your hand naturally reaches. Common mistake: drawing before the safety cover is fully engaged.
- Run draw-and-fire drills in a fixed order: Load a cartridge, holster, step back, then draw and fire at the target. Repeat the same sequence each time so the motion becomes consistent rather than improvised. Checkpoint: stop the drill if the device or holster shifts position between repetitions.
- Unload and store after the session: Remove the cartridge, separate spent cartridges and wires from live ones, inspect the device and holster for damage, and return everything to the Panero case. Next step: note how many cartridges you used so you can restock before the next session.
