SABRE Crossfire Pepper Gel, Deploys At Any Angle, Maximizes Target Acquisition Against Multiple Threats, Belt Clip For Easy Carry, Fast Flip Top, Max Police Strength OC, Pepper Spray Option 1.5 fl oz

I don’t usually leave reviews but this product saved me from what could have potentially have been a worse dog attack. This is a great product with a good distance. After the dog initially bit me I was able to back off and I hit him in the face from about 8 feet away. The dog ran off giving me more than enough time to get away, so if you walk small dogs or like to go on walks in general this is a must carry. I would have probably gotten chewed up if I didn’t have this in my pocket.

I work for a company that does many things, armed security, bounty hunting, bodyguarding and private investigation work, most recently one of my jobs was securing multiple apartment complexes, my partner got a call that someone was breaking into apartments, when I arrived it was pouring rain, flooding even, 3" deep water rushing past my waterproof boots on the sidewalk, I head towards an area where people are flashing us with lights to get our attention and a woman leaning against the archway of a stairwell starts coming after me and pulls out a meat cleaver, I instantly draw my gun and have the light/laser on her as well, I supposed she came to her senses and did not want to get shot so she stopped coming towards me so when I felt like I could I grabbed the Sabre Red off of my Molle Plate Carrier and painted her entire face in the gel from about 8 feet away, she started screaming and swinging the cleaver and acted like she was going to throw it so I took cover behind a wall then less than 10 seconds after being sprayed she dropped the cleaver and dropped to her knees and put her face in the water and tried to wipe it off her face, she was groaning and screaming and I was able to quickly grab all of the bladed weapons that she had while she was incapacitated, there were two knives and one meat cleaver, the Police arrived soon after and arrested her, I saw her later in the back of a squad car and her eyes were swollen like she had two black eyes. This product is amazing, it has good range and spraying power like I mentioned it was storming heavily and flooding and it still shot a jetstream straight to her face, I covered her entire face with it and she had zero fight in her after that, when the cops came she instantly got on her knees and they put her away. I'm not sure if she was on drugs or had mental problems all I know is this works and i'm buying more right now because this is the second day in a row i've had to pull it out but the first time i've had to use it.

Good product works well

I really like the size and quality of this product & brand. It feels very secure to have around and I like that they come in multiples. I purchased these several times and gave some to my mom and daughter as well.

Good product easy to use.Hopefully I will never have to use

I decided to buy this pepper gel because I wanted a safe way to protect myself when I’m outside my house, especially at night or in the parking lot. I’ve heard about SABRE being a trusted brand, and I wanted something that was easy to carry and quick to use. I carried the pepper gel on my belt and practiced flipping the safety a few times. When I actually tested it, I found that the Crossfire technology worked well, even when spraying at odd angles or upside down. The spray reached quite far, and I felt confident that it could help me if I was ever in trouble. It was easy to use, and I appreciated the safety features, like the fast flip top. Overall, I think this pepper gel does what it promises. It feels reliable and simple enough to use if I ever need it. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a strong and easy-to-activate personal safety device.

Good. It works as expected. I use expired sprays (with an expiration date no more than a year away) for personal training and they still work (pepper and UV dye). Fortunately, I haven't had to use the spray for self-defense.

I recently purchased this and haven't had a chance to use it yet. I've also never used a gel before. However, I have used other SABRE products, notably Phantom and Red, with a fogger delivery system. I've used it on a lot of people (I teach defensive tactics, which includes OC), and I've been sprayed a number of times. To be clear, I'm not hooked on SABRE. I've used several quality products. The OC does work. Phantom and Red and the highest percentage of major capcasinoids (1.33%) you can purchase, before you move into bear spray (2.0%). One advantage of the Crossfire system is that it can be sprayed from any angle. This isn't true of all OC delivery systems, even within the SABRE family. Another benefit of this product is the UV dye. I believe this lasts for days, even with washing. If the cops can track down a bad guy within a day or two, they can confirm the person has been sprayed (or somehow got UV dye all over their face). SABRE is one of the top manufacturers of OC on the market, along with Defensive Technologies. I'd buy from either of these companies rather than risk a generic brand. I look at negative reviews when considering a purchase, as they are very useful. I decided to mention a few things about a few of the negative reviews for this product, because they don't paint a fair picture of OC. I'm speaking of OC in general, not necessarily SABRE brand. First, there was a comment that this shouldn't be stored in environments above 120 degrees, and the company should have done a better job informing customers. This temperature isn't just for this product. No aerosol cans are supposed to be stored above 120 degrees, just as they shouldn't be stored in extreme cold. It has nothing to do with the product. It's the same for spray paint, WD-40, air horns, etc. It's because of the pressure from both extremes, and the effects they have on the can itself, the contents, and the seals. OSHA goes into a lot of detail about how aerosols are stored in the workplace. The same holds true in your personal storage. Second, there were many comments that this was worthless because it didn't stop dogs. OC is designed for people, not dogs. OC can certainly work on dogs, but there are several factors to consider. It doesn't work on all dogs, it may not work on aggressive dogs, and it can make aggressive dogs even more aggressive. You also have to keep in mind this is a gel, NOT a spray or fogger. This means you need direct eye contact with the product application. If you miss by even a little, it's not going to be effective. The gel doesn't have a straight trajectory right out of the can; you need to practice with it to learn how to spray it, because, again, it has to make direct contact with the eyes. If you want a higher success rate, go with a stream/fogger. There is a downside to that, too, which I've experienced myself. OC from a stream/fogger hangs in the air and blows around in the wind. There's a good chance you're going to take a hit from it, too. I didn't look at all the negative reviews, but of the ones I did, none said it didn't work on people. Lastly, there were negative reviews about the size being too big to put in your pocket. The size is listed in the product description. There are photos of it being held in people's hands. It comes with a belt clip for attaching to your belt. They do make smaller cans designed for everyday carry. This isn't one of them.
