Pro Tips - Check your state laws as some states limit the maximum size allowed. California, for example, limits canister size to 2.5 oz max. Ladies, don't just toss the can anywhere in your purse. You'll never be able to find it in time. If you're going to purse carry it, figure out a way...like a holster or similar...where you can store it in a solid location, where it won't come loose, so you know exactly where it's at A black canister may be very difficult to locate in a purse...especially in the dark. Pink or something bright might be a better choice.

Great information. I carry a Sabre Red MK-4 in my vehicle. On my person, I used to carry Sabre Red 3 in 1 Compact but had the same issue you had with the activation button sliding off of safe. I now carry a POM. I pull of the base of the POM and make a note of the expiration date. When I reassemble the POM, I position the clip in line with the nozzle and put a dab of glue on the colored ring. That way I have a tactile indication of the direction of the nozzle. The clip naturally sits in the crease of the finger joints in the middle of my hand.

This is what I love about this channel. This video works for people who are interested in getting one but also for people who sell them so they can pass it on to their customers.

Great video. I have been carrying POM for about a year and have been very happy. Comfortable in the pocket. Other canisters have sharp edges that will gouge you. A great tool to add to EDC. Keep up the good work Lucky Gunner crew!

British police, we use Pava and it's nasty stuff, I've had it used on me in training and I've used it on aggressive suspects and it's super effective.

It’s important for everyone that is even remotely in danger to have any defense & I wish more people would preach that, especially on the left.

I have the POM one too. Great video, I'm glad you took the time to make this comparative demo!

Thank you Fritz and Karl for your help in this video!

As a LEO with different departments I’ve been sprayed and had accidental, incidental, and contact with OC and CS on numerous occasions. OC works well and in my state, NY, is equal to physical force. I prefer OC to hands on and short of a taser it is the best less than lethal option. I like Asp Palm series sprays; I carry the defender which is similar in size to a mini mag light. Asp has inert canisters for training and OC canisters as you reload the device just like putting batteries in a flashlight. Also makes 3 different sizes of their palm series and all can easily go on a key ring of in a pocket. I’ve also carried a few brands and used stream, fogger, cone, and foam. I preferred foam due to its effectiveness at distance as well as the very reduced blow back in wind. As a note foam doesn’t do much against dogs; in my experience stream and fogger stops dogs in their tracks. Regardless of what you carry you should practice with it. And take a lesson from law enforcement once you use it toss it because once used they can leak and not work the next time, when you may need it. Start in the chest and work up to the forehead then go back down. Be careful with stream sprays and needle effect; this is where the spray acts like a needle and can, at close ranges, actually damage an eye.

Chris, you are a wealth of information. I can't thank you enough for your educational mentoring. With today's civil unrest and political chaos between parties...this is timely stuff. Thanks for your well thought out presentations and time to develop these videos. Job well done.

You are my go to channel for good, honest and accurate information. Keep up the good job 👍. Thanks

If you carry lethal defense weapons, you should also carry non-lethal as well. You’re much more likely to need non-lethal than lethal force.

Thanks for posting! I've never thought of using pepper spray, but my interest in self-defense has been peaked recently. I will take a look and I think the practice sprays will be very beneficial to learn how to use it if necessary. Thanks and keep it up!

I’m a police OC, taser and firearms instructor (certified by Sabre, Axon and the state). Been exposed to the first 2 myself, thankfully not the 3rd. OC spray and taser effectiveness are wildly different. For OC I was able to continue fighting and keep my eyes partially open for about a minute before my eyes shut and I had to wash it out of my eyes. Took me about an hour to feel normal and it reactivated later that night when I took a shower. Taser was immediately effective, once I got hit with it I was on the ground and in extreme pain for 5 seconds. Once those 5 seconds were over I felt physically exhausted but overall normal. Within about 5 minutes the exhaustion was gone. So basically OC spray isn’t immediately effective and taser is, however I would (hesitantly) get hit with the taser again, I would not want to get hit with the OC spray ever again.

I have also sprayed one of the little Mace brand OC/Tear gas combo sprays; it has a pretty wide spray pattern so it makes it a little easier to hit someone with the spray, but it also makes it more susceptible to being blown around if there's any wind. The OC only cans such as Sabre shoot a nice stream, almost like a can of silly string.

I have been carrying POM for about a year, everywhere I go, and I love it. Thanks for the tip about locating the expiration date; this is the first I have heard of it. One thing I don't like about it: I would like for the clip to be more secure. I keep it clipped to the waistband of my running shorts, and sometimes, if I am not careful, it has a tendency to pop off of my waistband. (Once it popped off my waistband at the crowded starting line of a race; I am glad I was aware of it falling off!) Now, I am just mindful of that tendency, and it hasn't been a problem since that incident. Overall, I like POM, and I will intend to continue using it.

The bit about accidental pocket discharges with the slide type safety is absolutely true. I had it happen to me twice before I switched from that Sabre Red canister to POM flip top dispenser.

I got hit by a couple of CS grenades during field exercises. The effect was pretty instant when I get hit by the cloud. My equipment is still kinda spicy a year later.

During my training, our defensive gun trainer recommended carrying pepper spray because if you are ever in a shooting situation the court will consider that you gave yourself a choice of less than deadly force.

what if the court (prosecutor/persecutor) say 'AHAH, he had pepper spray, hecould have used non(less)lethal force, he could have pepper sprayed the guy, but he CHOSE to gun him down! this was an execution."

Excellent Vid as always, changed my thinking on OC. As a CCW carrier I think OC as a first use is great. God forbid you have to keep going up the force continuum.

Really good depth and objective reviews. Thanks!

Thorough and informative as always. Thank you

I knows it’s been well over 3 years now, but I use this video as reference when some folks come in and aren’t super happy about wanting to carry a gun. I’m in lowers KS, and folks are peaceful, but as the world gets worse, they don’t want to be left defenseless, but can’t bring themselves to the idea of “lethal defense”. This is a great guide for people who don’t have any reference of what CS/PS does or have a limited base of info for it.

'It looks like a breath spray but surprise...It's extra spicy!' love it! great video

Great video. Have been carrying Pepper Gel for almost a year. Like most gun owners I don't want to hurt anyone. This gives me a way, in certain situations, to just get the bad guys to "back off". Versus waving a handgun around....I like options.

You're saving lives with info. Thank you.

I carry POM and have for several months now. ASP really got me on board with that and after doing a bit of training, the efficacy of it is beyond statement. If I leave the house, I make sure I have it on me.

Sabre Red GEL was the best for me. Spray is effected by wind too much, and indoors it lingers for a while. At 6 feet GEL had an immediate effect on the attacker. He howled for an hour until the ambulance arrived.

@michaelbeckerman7532

Exactly. In most real-world scenarios you are likely going to be spraying this within about 3-6 feet from the person you are intending to use it on. That's the distance your attacker will likely be at when you are convinced that the attack is on and it's unquestionably time to use the spray. It's always best to carry it in your hand at the ready so you can deploy it as fast as possible and as effectively as possible. Always focus on eyes, nose and mouth and never apply any more than what is necessary to buy yourself the needed time to make a safe withdrawal/escape. Using too much of it can actually kill someone. Something to keep in mind.

One thing that no one on the Internet covers is carry methods for oc spray. Any chance you could make a video on that?

I've used a spray in heavy winds and I probably got just as much OC in my face as my target. Even being equally affected the shock of resistance ended the situation instantly. Not a pleasent experience but it worked. Also: if you get OC on your hands you can't wash them enough, trust me, wash them a LOT... and wear gloves when you visit the mens' room. Don't get OC where OC is not meant to go, its a bad time.

Pepper spray requires little practice and I always carry it with my gun. No reason not to. After this excellent vid I checked the dates on my stuff and some of them were significantly out of date. I went with the POM this time because of convenient size and easy to use trigger. Thanks for the reminder.

Been carrying the POM spray for about a year now. I like to take the one that's in my pocket out and use it for practice every couple months and replace it with a new one. I suggest buying a piece of Talon grip tape and putting it in the opposite side from the pocket clip. It stops the pieces from rotating and it helps a lot when pulling it out.

Thumbs up for the "accidentally spray Junk" lol.

Sabre makes a decent product but I have carried Fox Labs 5.3 both professionally or personally for over 20 years. I have been sprayed and sprayed people with different products. Fox Labs 5.3 has been the most effective one for me.

Excellent review of the various Pepper Sprays. I couldn't make up my mind which one to buy, but now I do. Thank you.

I started carrying pepper spray after I was shopping for dash cams. I saw enough videos of road ragers and a few were quickly stopped when pepper spray was used. I carry the Saber Red gel.

The kimber Guardian angel must not be used under a *2 feet range* : this can damage the eyes, the projected liquid travels so fast (muzzle speed is about 90 mph) that it can penetrate into the ocular globes, causing injuries to the cornea. This is caused by a hydraulic needle effect, it's the principle of jet injector used for vaccination. This distance is 5 feet for the JPX jet protector. Under this distance one have to aim for the upper chest : the hitting liquid (with 270 mph muzzle speed) splatters in small droplets up to the face and is intended to have its effect on the perp. The same could happen with a too powerful pepper spray used 1 inch from the eyes. but obviously, you don't always choose the distance ! greeting from France.

Great content as usual. I'd like to offer some constructive criticism. If the manufacturer says to do bursts, you shouldn't test it with a continuous spray. Continuous rapid release of the contents drops the temp (and pressure) with diminishing returns if not done in short bursts. It's similar to one of those keyboard air dusters. The performance is awful when held continuously, but short bursts are the ticket to get that extra little bit of velocity out of them.

You're a natural teacher/presenter. Nicely done, and moreover useful! I've been doing some deep dives into OC spray for home and carry, and one reason why people use a three-in-one is because some people are apparently nonreactive to OC. I have heard though people talk about the dilution of the OC in a three-in-one, so it's a toss up for me.

I feel the same way. Difficult decision

“Kimber is one of the only pepper sprays that can injure someone”. Actually almost every stream canister of OC spray can permanently damage someone’s eyes through the hydraulic needle effect. Different manufacturers quote different distances, but for my training the canister must be at least 18 inches away from the person’s eyes when being sprayed. Within those 18 inches the spray can cause the eye to be punctured from the stream pressure. The closer you get, the more likely this effect is to take place.

I carry the Sabre gel. It may take a couple seconds longer to work, but I want a zero percent chance of a wind full of pepper spray in my face in a moment where lethal force may be the next option.

THANK YOU @Lucky Gunner Ammo for this truly valuable primer. I'm changing from POM back to the first Sabre stream unit with marking dye. 👍

I can HIGHLY recommend the Def Tech (Safariland) spray at 14:10. I used it in a jail and prison setting. I've seen it used hundreds of times, and used it myself dozens of times. The 1.3% formula he is holding is the strongest formula and I believe it is actually TOO strong as it just annilates people, and destroys the area too (inside). We typically used the weakest 0.2% formula and it works 99% of the time. The much stronger 1.3% formula made my instantly vomit the second I walked into a cell to extract an inmate. The stuff is unbearably strong... I carry the same exact Mark 6 container of Def Tech spray but in 0.7% strength, which is PLENTY strong, in my observation. Out of all the sprays he reviewed, I am of the opinion that the Def Tec 1.3% is the best of the best for daily carry. Strong stuff, and an excellent delivery method and safety system as well.
