SABRE RED Compact Pepper Spray, Max Police Strength OC Spray with UV Dye, Compact Belt Clip For Easy Carry & Fast Access, Protect Against Multiple Threats, 0.67 fl oz, Secure & Easy to Use Safety

Very reliable and easy to use. The size is practical to carry in a purse or pocket. It provides safety and peace of mind when going out alone.

I purchased this item after watching a random youtube recommended video on non lethal protective items/weapons, i like the fact that the item is small and easy to put in my pocket and does not take up much space at all, another feature i liked was that you actually have to shift the little trigger to the side before pressing down to fire off some of the product which is very convinient and doesnt have you worrying about accidental use inside your pockets, i actually had to use this product on some street dogs that felt the need to chase me while going on a morning jog, the spray burst i let off managed to scare the dogs off without me needing to temporarly blind the animals (thank god) this is definitely a bang for your buck as i got the item for under $10, if you are in need of some form of protection i would forsure purchase this spray

the product is very useful and I like it

This isn't magic, but great if you run into a dog who decides you would make a great chew toy. Also, can help discourage someone who wants to beat on you, but I suggest practicing with it a few times before you try to dissuade someone from making the main subject of a police report . . .

I have them attached to my leash, compact, very handy

I had hoped to never have to use this, but alas, last night, I did.A big guy, maybe 6'2" and of a pretty muscular build, was clearly inebriated and started following me shouting. I called the police but he would not leave me alone, and no matter how much I backed up, he was closing the gap. After several warnings to stay back, he got too close to comfort (still probably 8-10' away) and I sprayed him.I have never used this before, even for a test spray. While I would highly recommend testing it on a windless day, I never tested it. I still had absolutely no trouble -- I just aimed and squeezed, and was able to just intuitively get just about all of it in his face. I think you're supposed to do this in short bursts, but in my frantic state I just held the sprayer down for about a second of continual stream. It was still spraying when he was no longer a threat and I let go, so there may be more left. There was a group nearby, possibly affiliated with him, so knowing this lasts a bit gives me comfort. (I've just ordered a replacement; obviously I don't want to carry around a depleted canister. Highly recommend the two-pack, because I am now afraid of some type of retaliation.)He seemed disoriented for a second, as if he didn't understand what had just happened, but then promptly turned away from me, doubled over and trying to clean his face with his shirt while running off. I almost felt bad because he was clearly in a world of pain. The police arrived a moment later, but he was already gone. (In retrospect, while the person is reeling in pain and doubled over is your opportunity to run to safety. In the words of a firearms instructor, "If they didn't want to k-ll you before [you use pepper spray on them], he sure will now." I could hear the sirens closing in and stayed put, which worked out OK, but I wouldn't recommend it.) While taking my report, the cop straight-up told me, "I'm glad you pepper-sprayed him." Things could have ended a lot worse.I live in Massachusetts, and we have weird laws that prohibit Amazon from shipping to addresses within the state. The relevant bits of law are MGL c.140, §122C and §122D. Only a licensed g-n shop can sell pepper spray within the state (see §122C (b)), which is why Amazon cannot ship to us. But note that this is a restriction on sellers, not customers. Possession by those 18+ (or under 18 with an FID card) is legal, aside from some exceptions (like violent felons) outlined in §122D. All of which is to say that having this shipped out of state and retrieving it (or having someone not prohibited by §122D bring it to you) appears fully compliant with all laws.

Easy to hold, great ambidextrous design, sprays up to 10 feet and non lethal, one for my wife’s purse, the other one in my car, I saw a video showing how effective it is to disorient your attacker plus it leaves a residue that can be seen under ultraviolet light

It is apparently pepper spray, but I don't want to find out for sure.
