Byrna SD XL Compatible Accessories

Overview

The Byrna SD XL was designed on the same platform as the Byrna SD, making it compatible with most accessories originally developed for the SD launcher. While the SD XL has been discontinued, owners can still find a variety of compatible accessories that enhance performance, convenience, training, and everyday carry.

One common misconception is that the larger 12-gram CO2 system used by the SD XL affects accessory compatibility. In practice, the CO2 size does not impact the fitment of most external accessories such as holsters, sights, and magazines.
