SABRE Tactical Pepper Gel With Belt Holster For Easy Carry, Maximum Police Strength OC Spray, Quick Access Fast Flip Top Safety, Tactical Design For Security Professionals, 1.8 fl oz

This canister is about twice the size of the "keychain" type pepper sprays, which is good. It's just large enough to get a good grip with all four fingers, and there's plenty of room to get your thumb under the safety lid easily. in an emergency, when your fine motor skills are impaired, this makes deployment easier. The carrying case appears well-made and will make carrying easy (but also clearly visible to anyone- this is not concealed carry). My concern about the case is that it will take some practice to remove the canister from the case quickly. It is possible to allow the canister to ride a little high in the case and still secure the flap, which makes it easier to grip the top of the canister and pull it out. A woman who might not want the case on her belt, could perhaps pin it in the inside corner of her purse, or put it on her purse strap for easy access. I have no direct knowledge of the effectiveness of the spray or the accuracy, but Sabre is a well-respected manufacturer of pepper spray products, so I'm confident the product is effective.

I have very irresponsible neighbors, and often find their loose and large dogs roaming around the neighborhood. This weekend, I was on my run, and luckily, I had this pepper spray with me -- I sometimes forget to bring pepper spray, but I'm glad I didn't yesterday. I was running down the street when all of a sudden, I hear this vicious, aggressive barking at my direction. I look across the street and see two LARGE dogs sitting at the corner. One was a HUGE rottweiler, and the other a big Malinois / Shepherd mix. My heart sank, as this is the fourth time I've had to deal with this sort of thing on a run. Usually, I can deal with one large dog fine, but two is going to get you killed. Especially when both are large attack dogs.The large Malinois (easily 70 to 80 lbs) just started running for me at full speed. I instinctively went around a car near me, and within a couple of few seconds, the dog was already rounding the front of the car to get me. It was running full bore, barking crazy, and ready to maul. I had this pepper spray out and ready as it rounded the corner, and I unleashed it on its face. I wasn't sure what to expect, since I never tested this spray before. I usually use the canisters of bear spray, and that unleashes a large, forceful cloud of spray. But, I've never tested this out before.It comes out in a forceful stream of liquid gel. I was pretty surprised by how robust the stream was. From about 5 ft away, I was able to spray the dog easily in the face, and it stopped dead in its tracks as I kept the stream going at its face. It did a 180 within a second, and bolted around the car back to the corner. I promptly jogged away, looking behind me to make sure it wasn't trying for a second attack, and also to see if the rottweiler would join the fray. Luckily, the rott just sat at the corner, and didn't do anything. The malinois stood in the middle of the street, looking confused, and maybe even stunned. I was able to escape a vicious mauling, intact.I really wish I had carried this with me several months ago when I encountered two other large, loose dogs. I ended up getting severely injured in that encounter, and I have a pending lawsuit against the owner. Pepper spray is only good when you carry it all the time, and I can attest to this one. It works, it's effective (even after 2.5 years from purchase date), and easy to carry. I'm going to buy more. The only thing I will add is that after a short 2 to 3 seconds of use, the canister feels much lighter. I should probably throw this one out.

Have used this product in the past it is an outstanding product with lots of good features works very well. Very happy to say my biggest problem now is having to replace it when it expires. Please sure remember to replace these things so that you do not have troubles later

Hello Amazon! I'm a security guard and I work a patrol shift for different locations. Well, one of my locations are a bit more crazy than the others. Very recently, I ended up having to use my Sabre Red Maximum Strength (I PURCHASED 2 WEEKS AGO) on a man. He was about arms and a half distance away. The spray was very controlled, and it was bright orange in color. Upon the first stream, the man did NOT back away from me and continued a bit forward. I sprayed once more and the man stopped advancing towards me. He stood there, seemingly unphased. He talked crap saying the spray did nothing. A few seconds later, he had to be walked into the passenger side of his ride. As they drove away, I could see him blinking excessively, rubbing his eyes and now silent.Now, there are a few things I want to emphasize. There was a delay to the spray taking effect. This is especially true because he was very likely drunk. PLEASE KEEP THAT IN MIND. In my instance, it was roughly 7 seconds before I could confidently say the suspect was deterred from further aggression.Secondly, the holster is good quality. My issue with the holster is it has a velcro flap. That's fine, but when you have a flip-top mechanism, it can cause for some stumbling with the top, making you less able to activate quickly and effectively. In a holster like that, I don't see the need for a flip-top.Third, my conclusion is this will absolutely work and I can without a doubt tell you that the suspect had a terrible night( part of me wanted him to stay longer just to see it's effects). My only complaint is I became very uncomfortable when the suspect stared right back at me with bright orange pepper sauce on his face and no immediate reaction. For a moment I was convinced things were going to get ugly. The holster is good, but you may be deterred from using it. You may also want to run drills, quickly pulling out your equipment and in ready position to accommodate its seemingly awkwardness. For $16 USD(-15% off base price), I do think its a good price, but my opinion changes a bit at full price ($20USD).4 Stars because the flip-top safety does not feel good, I stumbled with it in my hand and it costed me precious time in which I could have seriously been hurt.Otherwise, thank you Sabre for protecting me and our Law Enforcement. We owe it to you. Absolutely buy their products.
