I am held by human hands and when used properly exceed the speed of sound but I am not a firearm nor am I considered a deadly weapon. What am I?

A Bullwhip. When the tail of the whip snaps it breaks the speed of sound

I thought (honest guv) it might be a whip but the agricultural tool reference was a wee (I'm turning Scottish) bit off putting.

I had guessed flashlight, since light travels faster than sound.... I think i get an honorary correct.

Sound was the key and an electrically agitated photon generating tungsten fiber element has no sound. Therefore, when used properly, the flashlight falls outside the scope of the description. You get points for a nice try though…
