Axon Yellow

The iconic yellow color known today as Axon Yellow is synonymous with the high-quality energy weapons produced by Axon under the TASER brand. Axon Yellow is more than a color: the yellow handle instantly brings assurance built by decades of technological advancements.

The first energy weapon in the world to be produced with a yellow handle was the AIR TASER model 34001 Sports Defender, released in 1995. The yellow handle instantly became recognizable as a symbol of the TASER brand. Since then, many of our TASER devices have been released in models featuring Axon Yellow handles. Axon Yellow has been featured on models of the ADVANCED TASER M26 (1999), TASER X26 (2003), TASER X12 (2007), TASER X3 (2009), TASER X2 (2011), TASER X26P (2013), TASER 7 (2018), and TASER 10 (2023), together with many of our civilian TASER energy weapon models. Check out the Evolution of the TASER Energy Weapon for more information about some of these legacy devices.

True to Axon’s mission to Protect Life, the power of the instantly recognizable Axon Yellow handle is undeniable. For the carrier of the TASER energy weapon, the yellow handle provides peace of mind that they are holding a trusted less-lethal device.
