I've carried POM for almost 2 years now. I would recommend it highly. During a test of it, I took a residue from the spray nozzle and put some barley in my nose. Just that little bit, put me down for 15 minutes. Crazy stuff. I've given it to my girlfriend and my mom. Great tool.
Unless avoiding cross contamination is a very high priority - avoid gel formulations. They take way too long to take effect (30 sec to 2 min) compared to stream/cone/fog delivery which is almost instant.
Avoid the gel formulations... You must get the gel directly into the attackers eyes... There is no atomization of the gel which means it will not affect his respiratory.. which means with gel you lose half the performance
Idk this. I thought stream was always gel? And fog was “spray”. Idk what cone is? I guess I gotta do more research, I’ve got a Sabre compact looking one like his POM but idk what it is, tag came off. I thought u had to be within a foot to use it?
What I've done with cans with weak flip tops to make them more suitable for pocket carry is tape the cap down with a piece of painters tape and heavily perforate the tape by puncturing many small holes in it. I can break the perforated tape with my thumb when if I ever have to use it and I feel a bit more comfortable with it in pocket.
That's actually a great idea and something that I'm going to greatly test to make sure that doesn't impede use in any way. Ive concealed carry for years and feel if you're carrying a lethal weapon then it's mandatory that you also carry nonlethal as well. The Sabre red mini is what I carry most due to its tiny size and ability to still spray continuously at 12 feet. It's usually always in my left pocket and there's been a few times where I go to unload everything on my edc tray once home and I've noticed that the twist head was either between the on and off setting or the on setting. Luckily it takes good pressure to set the little thing off but it's still always bothered me to the point where I find myself constantly making sure it's not been twisted to on position. Thanks for the idea!
The second one you showed I had the Gel version and it saved my life once. I got badly assaulted in my apartment I was hit like 20 times standing up then when I hit the floor my computer fell and made a loud bang my mom heard it in her apartment and she came over to mine and I was getting kicked and stomped over and over. He pulled back and ran at me to kick me right in the side of the head. Then my mom hit his leg out of the way and I was able to Remember I had that spray in my pocket and I sprayed him and it saved me. I had to have eye surgery done my orbital was fractured twice and I'm still having eye problems to this day. Still waiting for it to go to trial. But Spray works and everyone should carry a can.
I carry POM< but never used it, but have used UDAP bear spray. and it works!!!! Never seen a person jump up and down and dance like that in my whole life.
I just used OC spray against a crazy street person , the gel worked very well. I only wished I had backed up as I used it as the range was more than sufficient to keep hitting the mark. Keep them as far as possible away is there name of the game until the spray takes effect.
I'm stuck with Sabre Red because of availability in Boston. Make sure you compensate for the angle. It shoots upwards, which I bet was intended because that way it droops DOWN into their eyes from the hair... but the effect is delayed. Nevertheless, it's still a non-lethal means to blind your attacker and for only $10 to $13 it's absolutely worth buying multiple bottles.
Agreed! Great to keep multiple units around in places where you spend the most time so theres a good chance youll have it ready to go if you need it. You cant go wrong with Sabre either!
When you get this stuff in the eyes it's all over. This stuff is crazy! I heard this stuff it's hotter than a habanero pepper. It's like in seconds this stuff will burn eyes. This Sabre red maximum strength pepper spray. Seen it on TH-cam videos. Crazy stuff with good results I gave the Sabre red a massive A+.
Yeah totally game over if you get this stuff in the eyes. People have the misconception that pepper spray is not always effective because theres a video of a guy on the internet who seemed to have no side effects... 99 out of 100 will feel it thats for sure. Its no fun to inhale either!
I did an hours worth of research online of the best reviewed pepper spray and the majority say Fox Labs is the best. I got got their 3 oz can which I didn't realize is large for everyday carry but well made and shoots around 17 ft.
In today's world with the hardcore criminals we have you need something that packs a hell of a punch the problem with 90% of the pepper sprays on today's market the manufacturers do not change the formula to make it hotter Heatwave brand pepper spray Is the only brand that has changed its formula 3 times since 1996 From 10% oc to 23% oc It is now called Napalm pepper spray by Heatwave 18% oc red pepper ➕ 5% oc black pepper Total 23% oc This packs a he'll of a punch Check out youtube video Us marine vs Heatwave pepper he says in the video that he is hotter than fox
as a felon who is now grown and did a decade in prison for my crimes I have been looking for something for protection. I live in a rough neighborhood and last week 3 guys tried to rob me at the gas station while on my motorcycle. I told my wife I was going to start carrying a gun again but then I'd be risking my own freedom but it would protect me the best. so after considering it I brought myself pepper spray.i have the saber red keychain,. I hope it gives me them seconds I need to get away from any attack situation
I've personally been carrying the Saber Ruger Pepper gel as my EDC and as my work pepper gel (I work security) I will say when I've had to deploy it on a rare occasion it knocked the dude twice the size of me down.
This is my first time seeing your channel, By showing how the various products deploy, It can help someone determine what they may need in defensive situations, I've been using Sabre products for 40 years, They are the only ones that I purchase and recommend, My current inventory includes the Sabre quick release keychain 3-1 spray, the Crossfire Gel and the Model # M-120L POLICE MAGNUM 3-1 spray, as you probably know they use the HPLC to test their products, In my experience, Its important to know how it's going to deploy and the effective range, It is to a great advantage if you catch someone quickly and with open eyes, This is some wicked stuff and is very capable of defeating an aggressor, Of course there are subjects that may not respond to the effects as much, do to mental states and /or certain drugs, Thanks for posting. Subbed.
I carry Sabre Red and it stays always in my pocket. never had a problem with them. they are slim and after i deploy i am ready to bang. I take pepper sprays as a bonus, they will compromise your enemy and after that you can beat them by strikes. I would love to carry knives or a pistol, but they are illegal and knowing my temper me being with a knife could be bad, so pepper spray seems good enough option. Pepper Spray and Tactical Pen are my favorites.
Are you in the states? If so, now you can get a conceal carry in all 50 states due to the recent passing of the bruen case at Supreme Court level. All of the commie, left leaning dictatorship states like California, New Jersey, New York, Maine, etc were once "may issue" but are now "shall issue" states. Learn how to get your conceal carry license my friend!
My asp defender kubotan (with pepper spray inside) leaked out into my pocket one day, it took me a minute to realise my pocket felt hot as hell, then I realized what had happened lol. I made the mistake of putting water on a wet rag on my leg, which allowed it to seep into my skin. Man I felt that for almost 3 hours, I would definitely not want that in my face lol
Reinforce what Eric L said - Gel/Foam takes (what seems like) forever to take effect. Fog/Cone (Fox makes a good one) was not featured and it’s the most effective of all (but also most susceptible to wind). 29 year retired LEO and used and trusted OC (compared to any other less than lethal). Now I carry POM mostly, but add a Fox Fog/Cone at times.
Sabre red is by far the strongest I've ever come across by a LONGSHOT. I help teach and train a hands-on defensive class as well as teach my own cc and pistol fighting 1-3. Often we'll test the different sprays, gels and fogs in our class. After showing how the sprays work and demonstrating the difference between the gels, sprays & fogs and then we clear the class area for lunch break for 45 minutes. Usually that's more than enough time for the large room to air out. The first time we tested Sabre red it litteraly cleared the entire room out instantly. I was about 10 feet behind our class teacher and almost immediately it was like the oxygen was sucked out of the room and my eyes and throat were on fire. No other brand we've tested have come close to such an immediate effect and the room needed to be evacuated for over an hours time with the back door open to the outside with fans directing inside air out. Poms never done this nor any other brand and nomatter what brand we try in gel form it usually doesn't even cause contact nomatter how much we spray. We almost always advise people to not get the gel formulas primarily due to the fact of how long it takes to take effect even if landed immediately on the face. I pray I never end up on the wrong side of Saber red. I still can't believe how it effected the environment we were in.... It seriously was like all the air was sucked out of the room and you could no longer breathe. If that shit got even on my clothing I'd probably be screwed...
@@highdesertbiker yesir it is! I actually just purchased a couple more of those for my wife and mother. It's the exact same recipe as all their other red lines.
You're seriously making me want this stuff you definitely have me sold🎉❤ thank you because I want a real good one for my car glove box I live in a funky neighborhood a beautiful state just a goofball neighborhood
one of the best one is Byrna, not only do they have Bad Guy Repellent, they also have the launchers that launch pepperball and OC balls to the attacker and they are legal in most U.S. states
Yeah I have seen those! The main issue I have is they are not practical to carry and i think spraying somebody in the face would be more effective than a pepperball. However at range the byrna system would definitely have the upper hand.
@@UrbanSurvivor true, you get to spray alot at the bad guys face instead of shooting x amount of pepperballs. Actually, for me, I am in a state that has strict gun laws, it's pretty practical for me to carry, i have the soft nylon holster that i carry on my 4 o'clock position with my Byrna Pistol launcher in it. I have not gotten any complaints at all. I sometimes even carry the Byrna Pistol in a small shoulder sling bag that is easy to deploy. Different people have their preferences on how they want to carry their non-lethals. I just like the launchers because i can stay back and pelt the bad guy instead of getting up close in person.
I wish people also realize that pepper spray that isn't in a stream doesn't work well when you are downwind. I was sitting outside at a local grill enjoying my rainbow trout that I had waited half an hour to sit down and almost an hour to be served my order. Table next to me had some kind of altercation, started with crass vocalization till someone threw a glass of whatever beverage on a woman and then became a push and shove event. Long story short, the woman fired off some kind of fog spray and it ended up in her face that sent her screaming and falling down, into my face, and into the face of an elderly gentleman eating on another nearby table. I was choking on spit and snot and my eyes felt like they were sandblasted, I focused on breathing, counting it. Police showed up, paramedics showed up. A bunch boots on the lounge deck. From where I don't know, my vision was blurred for about an hour or so. a bunch of us got our eyes flushed with saline, which kind of helped, the poor old gentleman one table over was in severe respiratory distress and he and his wife left by gurney wearing an oxygen mask. The one time in my life I wasn't charged for medical saline was the day I was pepper sprayed for no reason whatsoever. I just happened to be downwind.
@@martinswartout6215 Saline works far better than milk and if I remember correctly the milk needs to be as thick of a mixture possible like vitamin D or half & half and even then it's only marginally better than cool water.
What a snowflake...you should get your sh... together and act before the woman even has to use the spray. Can't imagine watching the scene without helping....unless I was 15years old or the guy had a gun. Other than that I could not agree more about using stream - best solution imo.
I know first hand that the pepper gels do NOT work. The purpose of pepper sprays are to immediately incapacitate. The gel versions can take time before getting in to the eyes. Until it does, it's just a tingling on your skin.
@@tacitcaltechnlogy1277 Having ran and administered many OC courses with both, I won't use gel. All we used was SABRE, and the gel was consistently ineffective until the end of the course or after. You want the spray to run as you aren't going to be accurate in stress. That's why we spray ourselves so we know how to deal with it, even though I'd rather CS over OC another time.
@@tacitcaltechnlogy1277 Yes, I stated that we only used SABRE prior. I recorded a video of my best friend running the course after and not being affected until the hose hit his face, like a few others in his group he then felt the pain. Even if they just forehead shot, unlike me, I want my OC to run down quickly. The eyes and mucous membranes are the only possibility of stopping a threat, not a tingly sensation on skin.
I’ve used POM twice now, but not on humans. Once I used it on a bear who was trying to tear into my chicken coop and another time I used it on a fisher that was squaring off to fight my dog. Both times it worked like a charm 👍
Awesome to hear it works on a bear thats incredible! You must have been in pretty close proximity to make that shot lol. I keep some bear mace on deck for home defense as a backup.
@@UrbanSurvivor Yes, I was very close, maybe less than 10ft. I went out to see what my dog was barking at. I came around the side of my chicken coop and was surprised to find a medium size black bear right there facing me. I grabbed the POM and squirted. The bear just looked at me for a second, like Dude WTF! and then ran off.
@@rainypath96 Often called "fisher cats", a fisher is a large arboreal weasel ranging in size from females being around 4lbs and 2ft long up to males who can be as much as 15lbs and 3ft long. Their main diet is squirrels, but are known to take down all kinds of animals, including deer.
Great video, I recently used my Saber Red Gel mk3 unit. Worked great. Once used the Sabre Red CS/OC and walked into it lol. But carrying defensive spray is always a good option
So an update. I was at Costco today and a guy was mad because I was apparently In his way. So he slams on his horn as I’m getting trash out of my car while it’s fueling up. And I was a little upset I flipped him off. And that was it. Well this guy a 6’ 2” 250lb dude a nurse on top of that comes rushing at me from out of his car fists Balled. And rushes shouting “ you want to throw your fingers at people?! I’ll show you”. So as he’s 6in away I push him back to make distance and I tell him to back off. So he rushed again and I held him back with my left arm he begins grabbing me by my arm. I reached for my Sabre Red MK3 gel unit. As He continues trying to push and grab at me. So I deployed it. And it worked instantly. This guy had the audacity to start shouting that I assaulted him and that I over reacted. Uhm yea okay buddy why are attacking people? I’m glad I sprayed him before he did anything else. Unfortunately living in CA you almost have to let someone harm you before you can justify self defense! It’s ridiculous. Police showed up and treated me like I was the bad guy because this jerk was crying that he got doused. Luckily there were cameras and I was let go without repercussion.
@@556RF If that silly man tried that shit where I live he would have been shot. I've lived in California, Wisconsin, Texas, Maryland and now West Virginia. It's funny how outgoing and friendly people are in states that allow constitutional carry or is easy to get a license in while both California and Maryland had the most disgusting, narcissistic and unfriendly people I've ever come across.
Yeah most people have no idea the difference between sprays and gels... i think they fall for gels because they sounds cool without giving it much thought
@@UrbanSurvivor No, not true for me, not at all. Just learned about gels and I find I like the idea of it for three reasons.. One, less worry about spray coming back at me. Two, better accuracy at hitting target. Three, better sticking power. I just read that yes, gels do also cause breathing problems for attacker. So as I continue to research pros and cons of each option, Sabre Crossfire Red Pepper Gel is going to be my pick. Sabre consistently rates high all over the place. I already have some pepper spray, so the gel will be an addition to personal protection. ~Thanks so much for this thorough review. God forbid I ever have to use such things but hell yes, good to have, just in case. Beautiful world we have but we know all the people on it are not. 😉
@@DLionheart I have first hand seen gel backfire. Sometimes people who get sprayed with the gel will throw it back making it honestly even worse than stream or cone. I think stream is the best overall but cone if you had a group of people attacking.
For the saber, I jammed a tiny piece of cloth between the trigger and the rim to add friction. It is impossible to accidentally dislodge it no, but easy enough to get over it intentionally.
I actually had the chance to review the compact pepperball launcher a few months ago - th-cam.com/video/0K77vHkGiTI/w-d-xo.html It was fun but the downside is you are likely to miss your target lol
Thank you. I'm getting the big boy highly effective one. I carry a Glock 17 full size, but I'm not looking to kill people who attack me that are unarmed you feel me? much love from WA state
Awesome! I have a G17 too. Hopefully will get a ccw one day but im in California but it seems like it might be a possibility in the near future. But yes, definitely need a less lethal option. I think most situations would call for pepper spray over lethal force. Thanks for watching brother!
@@anthonytravis8999 this happened to my exgf on cap.hill. Her carefree and innocent nature was a magnet for this type of ish when I wasn't with her. A bum ( not a homeless man) asked her for some change and she didn't have any so he yelled at her and followed her for half a block and spit on her.
Big fan of the TW1000 63ml. It comes in a enclosure like the sabre red tactical. You can also get fog, gel and jet inserts. You also get inert inserts to train with :D.
Tristen, look into getting a conceal carry license if you live in the states. With the recent passing of the bruen case the Supreme Court has now made it to where you no longer have to deal with state laws and their unconstitutional rulings on your freedoms. Every state that was "may issue" has now become "shall issue" even in corrupt states like California, New York, Maine, New Jersey, etc.
When you're looking for the most painful, don't you want one with higher OC percentage? Michigan allows up to 18% , all these appear to be 10% OC. You can buy some on Amazon that claim to be 23.
The red compat works amazing, i had the dog detterant verison but used it on my neighbor today and on someone trying to fight me October 2023. I'd suggest buying the fox one or one with good power. Last year when i sprayed the guy it came out as a solid burst but its not very powerful like the fox one or bigger cans, when i used a can today it was a bit windy and wasnt as effective as last year but it did stop my neighbor from charging at me with a baseball bat from about 10-15 feet
The sabre is a pain with the safety.... But what i did was fold a piece of tape where and put it under the lock bump. This way it is wedged in and it doesnt slide easy. Just know itll ve harder to deploy but its worth it knowing it wont open in your pocket
Sabre red stream. Breathtakingly quick effects on poorly trained dogs and sometimes their reckless, entitled type person owners. Also good but splashes back more is the Sabre red combo with CS. Nasty stuff and also quick acting.
I just got the one on the left, the little guy, cuz my neighbor went crazy last night... Tho I'm a little worried that the safety cap might twist too easily in my pocket or bag or something.
As most will likely go thru life and never have to deploy such, if they are an aerosol product, how long will the can stay pressurized ? As with most aerosol products, the gases seem to eventually leak out ? Too, is there a shelf life of sorts for this kind of thing ?
You should make another one of these videos, not all of these products are available anymore. I really wanted to buy the last one but I can’t find it, or anything similar to it, anywhere
Gels and foams are designed to stick then body heat turns it liquid so it's good for people wearing glasses because it will run behind the glasses and you don't have to take a direct shot to the face for pepper spray to be effective
You mentioned that you were surprised that the gel didn't have longer spray time. Sabre products usually are designed to empty the can in 6 seconds. Even their frontiersman 9 ounce bear spray only has a 6 second spray time. The tactical red had a 7.5 second spray time, which is longer than most Sabre products.
Glad it worked well for you! Always great to hear first hand experience with these pepper sprays... Ive never had to use it in self defense but have sprayed a few dozen test units from a bunch of different brands and agree that the pressure on the POM is one of the best for its size!
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it! If you are looking for a few more options you might like this Police Magnum Pepper Spray comparison I did a few weeks ago - th-cam.com/video/R9wLouleJiU/w-d-xo.html
I did security work for 4 years as a matter what kind of use just use the whole bottle on somebody don't mess around if I can recommend anything I would use mace screw pepper spray May size tear gas in it
Also had a pepper spray that I bought one time go off in my pocket and it just burnt my leg for a couple hours also I'm used to really hot peppers anyway so that sucks but wasn't too uncomfortable
The USA has some very strange laws state by state. In Florida you can have a firearm magazine of any capacity, unneutered ARs, double edged knives and speed limits seem to be loose suggestions. The two things you can't have is ballistic knives and pepper spray larger than 2.5 oz. .. go figure
I prefer the spray over the gel as well. I just haven't tried POM yet. BTW, love that Magpul wallet in your EDC shot at the end. I've been carrying that same wallet for around 3 yrs, love it.
You see all the new items magpul is dropping for 2023? Their new rifle hard case looks awesome and the new "augmented" optic system looks absolutely insane.

I just used the sabre red to defend my dog against an agressive stray cat, pretty damn effective. Had to kick the cat to stop first attack, took the sabre out and deployed it just when the fcker went for the second attack. Around 2 meters, first a 2-3 sec blast directly in the face. And another 2 sec blast for good measure. The cat withdraw under a parked car and began to cry and moan heavily. My dog and I got a little irritated eyes because of the wind, 5 min later like nothing happened not even red eyes or itching. Cant say the same for the cat, it got spicy mexican for dinner.
Def need to pick something good up for California usage. (2.5 oz max) Price is no concern. Some crazy guy started attacking this couple in a car next door at work this morning, as soon as they fled he walked torwards our shop and started getting all crazy to us for no reason and started swinging at me. Pulling a gun was the last thing I wanted to do even tho I would’ve been in the right. But giving him some hot sauce would’ve been pretty sweet. Luckily I submitted him and had to wait 10 mins for the cops to show.
Check out POM! Thats what Im carrying. Sorry to hear about you having to be involved in a situation like that. Good to have some pepper spray around in the future!
I tested the sabre Red on myself when I got a bottle for my sister and I was out for hrs plus it went down my crack and nards and it was almost too much to bare
Thanks for making the video! I liked the pom until I realized it was clear... Seems like it's harder to see when spraying as well. Think I'm going with the Sabre.
What do you think of the Police OC-17 Magnum? I find it’s an easy carry in my jacket pocket while at the filling station, grocery store, anywhere where mischief might happen. It has the covered flip top safety and a belt clip also…larger volume.
As I mentioned in an earlier comment I was able to stop a trained attack dog. My . customers German Shepherd. The housekeeper had forgotten it was out in the yard.... I grabbed the lawn chair and fended the dog off for a couple seconds enough time to grab my mace pepper guard.. off my belt and spray the dog with three burst in the face... It took three or four seconds to take effect..(the longest tree seconds in my life) .. the dog lay down and started rubbing his eyes with his paws giving me time to get out the gate! .. why did the dog attack? Thats what he was trained to do.!! .he came around the corner of the house with his mouth open bearing his teeth !...HE did not bark or growl... Luckily I grabbed the lawn chair and kept him from lunging at my throat till I got the spray on him!
hey im late thanks for the help also i just realized that 700 lumens for the sizeof the nitecore tipse is amazing, i like the third one or the second sabre they are more discreet, becuase i defintly need some selfdefense things
I can truly attest to the fact that it will! BUT… YOU MUST HIT THE ANIMAL IN THE EYES AND OR THE NOSE. If it has your dog in it’s jaws, you will spray your dog as well, and that shit does not come off easily. It’s like oil based paint! It’s extremely painful, but there is no other product yet that compares to Sabre Red crossfire gel. I wish I could show you pictures of my dog walking setup.
They would probably be effective against small animals like dogs, coyotes, bobcats etc but I would go with bear spray if you are worried about bears/ mountain lions etc..
There's so many good brand oc spray like dps black label, udap mugger fooger, foxlab 1,4, vexor, pepper enforcement, etc, and and for effectiveness always choose a fogger or stream because the respiratory effect is very crucial if the perpetrator uses a mask and glasses or a balaclava or motorbike helmet, forget about gel because is have tiny string sprayer and no or very little respiratory effect and for self defense purpose gel is bad choice
Hey Chris, Thanks for watching! I did a video comparing a few of Police Magnums Pepper Sprays and they actually have a 5 ounce can thats kind of like a medium sized bear spray. It's a hgih output unit and would be excellent for multiple attackers at short range. Check it out and let me know what you think - th-cam.com/video/R9wLouleJiU/w-d-xo.html
Lmao...just had a guy rear end me and storm out with his fist clenched and sprayed him with the Sabre Red Compact. I got him but unfortunately the wind blew some back and messed my eyes all up. Luckily there was a police station right across the street.
On the Active Self Protection channel, the channel host indicated that the Sabre Red gel can take up to 30-45 seconds to build up enough 'heat' to repel the target - Anyone verify that?
Hiker i have used Sabre over a dozen times. On some people it is immediately effective on some it may take 40 seconds or so however it has always worked.
At the 23 Mark he talks about how you should check before buying pepper spray to see if it's legal basically. Well when it's being sold at your local dollar store then I'm pretty sure it's legal
I am referring to online purchases. Some states have different laws about cannister sizes and oc content. Yes, if its sold at your local dollar store you should be fine.

I've carried POM for almost 2 years now. I would recommend it highly. During a test of it, I took a residue from the spray nozzle and put some barley in my nose. Just that little bit, put me down for 15 minutes. Crazy stuff. I've given it to my girlfriend and my mom. Great tool.
Yeah I carry the pom! Its great that you got some for the women in your life too!
I carry it as well, was considering getting another two pack, one more for me and one for my sister.
Have u ever used it on a person and if u don't do it in they eyes will they still get hurt ?
@@soffianfar1d559 He said he got some in his nose and he had to put some barley on it.
Is it that good?? If it is. I need one cause crazy people keep coming to my job and stealing and making a mess for no reason.
Unless avoiding cross contamination is a very high priority - avoid gel formulations. They take way too long to take effect (30 sec to 2 min) compared to stream/cone/fog delivery which is almost instant.
Avoid the gel formulations... You must get the gel directly into the attackers eyes... There is no atomization of the gel which means it will not affect his respiratory.. which means with gel you lose half the performance
They should make a double gauge lol
Idk this. I thought stream was always gel? And fog was “spray”. Idk what cone is? I guess I gotta do more research, I’ve got a Sabre compact looking one like his POM but idk what it is, tag came off. I thought u had to be within a foot to use it?
Cross contamination? Like putting dirt or dog shid inside and mix it w the pepper spray ?
Gel has worked fine for me, pretty quick results.
Had to use sabre red crossfire a few years ago, it worked like a charm. Took effect in seconds! I drenched the dude's face
What I've done with cans with weak flip tops to make them more suitable for pocket carry is tape the cap down with a piece of painters tape and heavily perforate the tape by puncturing many small holes in it. I can break the perforated tape with my thumb when if I ever have to use it and I feel a bit more comfortable with it in pocket.
That's actually a great idea and something that I'm going to greatly test to make sure that doesn't impede use in any way. Ive concealed carry for years and feel if you're carrying a lethal weapon then it's mandatory that you also carry nonlethal as well. The Sabre red mini is what I carry most due to its tiny size and ability to still spray continuously at 12 feet. It's usually always in my left pocket and there's been a few times where I go to unload everything on my edc tray once home and I've noticed that the twist head was either between the on and off setting or the on setting. Luckily it takes good pressure to set the little thing off but it's still always bothered me to the point where I find myself constantly making sure it's not been twisted to on position. Thanks for the idea!
The second one you showed I had the Gel version and it saved my life once. I got badly assaulted in my apartment I was hit like 20 times standing up then when I hit the floor my computer fell and made a loud bang my mom heard it in her apartment and she came over to mine and I was getting kicked and stomped over and over. He pulled back and ran at me to kick me right in the side of the head. Then my mom hit his leg out of the way and I was able to Remember I had that spray in my pocket and I sprayed him and it saved me. I had to have eye surgery done my orbital was fractured twice and I'm still having eye problems to this day. Still waiting for it to go to trial. But Spray works and everyone should carry a can.
Nice to know the gel worked. Just ordered sabre red. Sorry honey.👒
Sue him for civil damages
I hope you got justice. I'm sorry this happened to you
Shouldn't have messed with his wife/gf
Some people call me paranoid. I like to consider myself prepared, but i go nowhere without a can of spray, a knife, and my trusty canik tp9.
I watched this with a Pom in my pocket. Never had to use it yet but seeing it get good reviews boosts my confidence
Yeah good choice! Ive heard only good things about POM!

I just used OC spray against a crazy street person , the gel worked very well. I only wished I had backed up as I used it as the range was more than sufficient to keep hitting the mark. Keep them as far as possible away is there name of the game until the spray takes effect.
Thats awesome! Glad the gel worked out for you! How long did it take for the effects to start?
You are a real one for testing all of these out. Thank you. Makes me feel more confident in my choice.
Awesome glad to help you make the decision! Which one did you end up going with?

@@jbaby007 Nice, that's my daily carry too!
@@UrbanSurvivor Yes. Thank you, "real one".
As an elder I appreciate your time, energy and expense. Thank you very much.
I'm stuck with Sabre Red because of availability in Boston. Make sure you compensate for the angle. It shoots upwards, which I bet was intended because that way it droops DOWN into their eyes from the hair... but the effect is delayed. Nevertheless, it's still a non-lethal means to blind your attacker and for only $10 to $13 it's absolutely worth buying multiple bottles.
Agreed! Great to keep multiple units around in places where you spend the most time so theres a good chance youll have it ready to go if you need it. You cant go wrong with Sabre either!
Where do you buy it in Boston?
One in each hand and let loose!!!!!
Dude 10k lumens strobe flashlight or 20k nitecore you’ll have anybody seeing stars even in daylight no joke
that sucks just sold my house in Boston and bought one in NH loving the freedom here, now carry a gun with the spray
When you get this stuff in the eyes it's all over. This stuff is crazy! I heard this stuff it's hotter than a habanero pepper. It's like in seconds this stuff will burn eyes. This Sabre red maximum strength pepper spray. Seen it on TH-cam videos. Crazy stuff with good results I gave the Sabre red a massive A+.
Yeah totally game over if you get this stuff in the eyes. People have the misconception that pepper spray is not always effective because theres a video of a guy on the internet who seemed to have no side effects... 99 out of 100 will feel it thats for sure. Its no fun to inhale either!
Just sprayed a big dude with some Sabre gel during a road rage incedent. Turned right around and got back in his vehicle.
I did an hours worth of research online of the best reviewed pepper spray and the majority say Fox Labs is the best. I got got their 3 oz can which I didn't realize is large for everyday carry but well made and shoots around 17 ft.
Is it good? Have you tried it?
which is better? mace take down 3 in 1 or sabre 3 in 1
I have seen the same recommendations about Fox Labs
Which formula did you get? Fox 1.4 is definitely the most effective one.
When I was a cop, we carried Fox 2oz. Was always effective.
bet you never even deployed it
@@usaman7358 ; 😂
Watching this after almost getting decked by a group of drunks
Yikes! That sounds terrible. Did you end up picking up some pepper spray?
Also buy a knife so they can get some surgery to go with it.
In today's world with the hardcore criminals we have you need something that packs a hell of a punch the problem with 90% of the pepper sprays on today's market the manufacturers do not change the formula to make it hotter
Heatwave brand pepper spray
Is the only brand that has changed its formula 3 times since 1996
From 10% oc to 23% oc
It is now called
Napalm pepper spray by Heatwave
18% oc red pepper
➕
5% oc black pepper
Total 23% oc
This packs a he'll of a punch
Check out youtube video
Us marine vs Heatwave pepper he says in the video that he is hotter than fox
Im watching this after a dog bit my leg while I was running in my neighborhood with my baby in the stroller!!
as a felon who is now grown and did a decade in prison for my crimes I have been looking for something for protection. I live in a rough neighborhood and last week 3 guys tried to rob me at the gas station while on my motorcycle. I told my wife I was going to start carrying a gun again but then I'd be risking my own freedom but it would protect me the best. so after considering it I brought myself pepper spray.i have the saber red keychain,. I hope it gives me them seconds I need to get away from any attack situation
Thank you for becoming a responsible citizen and rehabilitating, I don't mind paying my taxes for people like you in prison.
Get a larger can. Maybe the next size up.
I've personally been carrying the Saber Ruger Pepper gel as my EDC and as my work pepper gel (I work security) I will say when I've had to deploy it on a rare occasion it knocked the dude twice the size of me down.
Thats great I am glad to hear it worked out well for you!
Did it work instantly? I've been reading a lot of posts saying gel taking 20 seconds to a minute to affect
Does it taste good on salad or chicken wings?
Aww Shit lol that's Hilariously Hilarious 😂
I dare you to do that with Napalm pepper spray by Heatwave you would only do it once

Funny you mention this ... in high-school my friend made spicy chicken with pepper spray and made a few people sick ....
@@crouchinggiraffehiddenllam7764 bruh
This is my first time seeing your channel, By showing how the various products deploy, It can help someone determine what they may need in defensive situations, I've been using Sabre products for 40 years, They are the only ones that I purchase and recommend, My current inventory includes the Sabre quick release keychain 3-1 spray, the Crossfire Gel and the Model # M-120L POLICE MAGNUM 3-1 spray, as you probably know they use the HPLC to test their products, In my experience, Its important to know how it's going to deploy and the effective range, It is to a great advantage if you catch someone quickly and with open eyes, This is some wicked stuff and is very capable of defeating an aggressor, Of course there are subjects that may not respond to the effects as much, do to mental states and /or certain drugs, Thanks for posting. Subbed.
I carry Sabre Red and it stays always in my pocket. never had a problem with them. they are slim and after i deploy i am ready to bang. I take pepper sprays as a bonus, they will compromise your enemy and after that you can beat them by strikes. I would love to carry knives or a pistol, but they are illegal and knowing my temper me being with a knife could be bad, so pepper spray seems good enough option. Pepper Spray and Tactical Pen are my favorites.
Bro you sound like you should be in a psych ward. You sound like you are just waiting for an opportunity to use it
Are you in the states? If so, now you can get a conceal carry in all 50 states due to the recent passing of the bruen case at Supreme Court level. All of the commie, left leaning dictatorship states like California, New Jersey, New York, Maine, etc were once "may issue" but are now "shall issue" states. Learn how to get your conceal carry license my friend!
My asp defender kubotan (with pepper spray inside) leaked out into my pocket one day, it took me a minute to realise my pocket felt hot as hell, then I realized what had happened lol. I made the mistake of putting water on a wet rag on my leg, which allowed it to seep into my skin. Man I felt that for almost 3 hours, I would definitely not want that in my face lol
Reinforce what Eric L said - Gel/Foam takes (what seems like) forever to take effect. Fog/Cone (Fox makes a good one) was not featured and it’s the most effective of all (but also most susceptible to wind). 29 year retired LEO and used and trusted OC (compared to any other less than lethal). Now I carry POM mostly, but add a Fox Fog/Cone at times.
Sabre Red makes great cone sprays too.
I haven't had to use my POM spray but I liked that for half price they will send u inert water units to practice with.
Yeah that is really nice! Did you get a chance to practice with them?
@@UrbanSurvivor I did and I got my mom and sisters practice units too. I think it helped them to be more comfortable with it
Sabre red is by far the strongest I've ever come across by a LONGSHOT. I help teach and train a hands-on defensive class as well as teach my own cc and pistol fighting 1-3. Often we'll test the different sprays, gels and fogs in our class. After showing how the sprays work and demonstrating the difference between the gels, sprays & fogs and then we clear the class area for lunch break for 45 minutes. Usually that's more than enough time for the large room to air out. The first time we tested Sabre red it litteraly cleared the entire room out instantly. I was about 10 feet behind our class teacher and almost immediately it was like the oxygen was sucked out of the room and my eyes and throat were on fire. No other brand we've tested have come close to such an immediate effect and the room needed to be evacuated for over an hours time with the back door open to the outside with fans directing inside air out. Poms never done this nor any other brand and nomatter what brand we try in gel form it usually doesn't even cause contact nomatter how much we spray. We almost always advise people to not get the gel formulas primarily due to the fact of how long it takes to take effect even if landed immediately on the face. I pray I never end up on the wrong side of Saber red. I still can't believe how it effected the environment we were in.... It seriously was like all the air was sucked out of the room and you could no longer breathe. If that shit got even on my clothing I'd probably be screwed...
Hey bro thank you for this. The Sabre keychain spray they have on Amazon, is that the same formula as the red?
@@highdesertbiker yesir it is! I actually just purchased a couple more of those for my wife and mother. It's the exact same recipe as all their other red lines.

one of the best one is Byrna, not only do they have Bad Guy Repellent, they also have the launchers that launch pepperball and OC balls to the attacker and they are legal in most U.S. states
Yeah I have seen those! The main issue I have is they are not practical to carry and i think spraying somebody in the face would be more effective than a pepperball. However at range the byrna system would definitely have the upper hand.
@@UrbanSurvivor true, you get to spray alot at the bad guys face instead of shooting x amount of pepperballs. Actually, for me, I am in a state that has strict gun laws, it's pretty practical for me to carry, i have the soft nylon holster that i carry on my 4 o'clock position with my Byrna Pistol launcher in it. I have not gotten any complaints at all. I sometimes even carry the Byrna Pistol in a small shoulder sling bag that is easy to deploy. Different people have their preferences on how they want to carry their non-lethals. I just like the launchers because i can stay back and pelt the bad guy instead of getting up close in person.
Used Vexor as a corrections officer. Will always use Vexor if it's available.
I wish people also realize that pepper spray that isn't in a stream doesn't work well when you are downwind. I was sitting outside at a local grill enjoying my rainbow trout that I had waited half an hour to sit down and almost an hour to be served my order. Table next to me had some kind of altercation, started with crass vocalization till someone threw a glass of whatever beverage on a woman and then became a push and shove event. Long story short, the woman fired off some kind of fog spray and it ended up in her face that sent her screaming and falling down, into my face, and into the face of an elderly gentleman eating on another nearby table. I was choking on spit and snot and my eyes felt like they were sandblasted, I focused on breathing, counting it. Police showed up, paramedics showed up. A bunch boots on the lounge deck. From where I don't know, my vision was blurred for about an hour or so. a bunch of us got our eyes flushed with saline, which kind of helped, the poor old gentleman one table over was in severe respiratory distress and he and his wife left by gurney wearing an oxygen mask.
The one time in my life I wasn't charged for medical saline was the day I was pepper sprayed for no reason whatsoever. I just happened to be downwind.
Milk......
@@martinswartout6215 ohh, he need some milk! 🥛
@@martinswartout6215 Saline works far better than milk and if I remember correctly the milk needs to be as thick of a mixture possible like vitamin D or half & half and even then it's only marginally better than cool water.
What a snowflake...you should get your sh... together and act before the woman even has to use the spray. Can't imagine watching the scene without helping....unless I was 15years old or the guy had a gun. Other than that I could not agree more about using stream - best solution imo.
Fog type spray isnt reccomended?
I know first hand that the pepper gels do NOT work. The purpose of pepper sprays are to immediately incapacitate. The gel versions can take time before getting in to the eyes. Until it does, it's just a tingling on your skin.
@@tacitcaltechnlogy1277 Having ran and administered many OC courses with both, I won't use gel. All we used was SABRE, and the gel was consistently ineffective until the end of the course or after. You want the spray to run as you aren't going to be accurate in stress. That's why we spray ourselves so we know how to deal with it, even though I'd rather CS over OC another time.
@@tacitcaltechnlogy1277 Yes, I stated that we only used SABRE prior. I recorded a video of my best friend running the course after and not being affected until the hose hit his face, like a few others in his group he then felt the pain. Even if they just forehead shot, unlike me, I want my OC to run down quickly. The eyes and mucous membranes are the only possibility of stopping a threat, not a tingly sensation on skin.
Sabre Red with UV dye is the best on the market in my opinion. Most of the police forces in the country uses it
I’ve used POM twice now, but not on humans. Once I used it on a bear who was trying to tear into my chicken coop and another time I used it on a fisher that was squaring off to fight my dog. Both times it worked like a charm 👍
Awesome to hear it works on a bear thats incredible! You must have been in pretty close proximity to make that shot lol. I keep some bear mace on deck for home defense as a backup.
@@UrbanSurvivor Yes, I was very close, maybe less than 10ft. I went out to see what my dog was barking at. I came around the side of my chicken coop and was surprised to find a medium size black bear right there facing me. I grabbed the POM and squirted. The bear just looked at me for a second, like Dude WTF! and then ran off.
what is a fisher?
@@rainypath96 Often called "fisher cats", a fisher is a large arboreal weasel ranging in size from females being around 4lbs and 2ft long up to males who can be as much as 15lbs and 3ft long. Their main diet is squirrels, but are known to take down all kinds of animals, including deer.

Great video, I recently used my Saber Red Gel mk3 unit. Worked great. Once used the Sabre Red CS/OC and walked into it lol. But carrying defensive spray is always a good option
Glad to hear it worked out well for you! Are you going to replace it with the same unit?
@@UrbanSurvivor definitely, already did I carry the mk4 and mk3 for work
So an update. I was at Costco today and a guy was mad because I was apparently In his way. So he slams on his horn as I’m getting trash out of my car while it’s fueling up. And I was a little upset I flipped him off. And that was it. Well this guy a 6’ 2” 250lb dude a nurse on top of that comes rushing at me from out of his car fists Balled. And rushes shouting “ you want to throw your fingers at people?! I’ll show you”. So as he’s 6in away I push him back to make distance and I tell him to back off. So he rushed again and I held him back with my left arm he begins grabbing me by my arm. I reached for my Sabre Red MK3 gel unit. As He continues trying to push and grab at me. So I deployed it. And it worked instantly. This guy had the audacity to start shouting that I assaulted him and that I over reacted. Uhm yea okay buddy why are attacking people? I’m glad I sprayed him before he did anything else. Unfortunately living in CA you almost have to let someone harm you before you can justify self defense! It’s ridiculous. Police showed up and treated me like I was the bad guy because this jerk was crying that he got doused. Luckily there were cameras and I was let go without repercussion.
@@556RF If that silly man tried that shit where I live he would have been shot. I've lived in California, Wisconsin, Texas, Maryland and now West Virginia. It's funny how outgoing and friendly people are in states that allow constitutional carry or is easy to get a license in while both California and Maryland had the most disgusting, narcissistic and unfriendly people I've ever come across.
@@TerminalM193 I finally moved to a free state
And I carry daily. Still carrying OC spray
Thanks for the video man I think I'm gonna try the Fox spray. I didn't even think about how a gel would have less or no respiratory effects.
Yeah most people have no idea the difference between sprays and gels... i think they fall for gels because they sounds cool without giving it much thought
@@UrbanSurvivor No, not true for me, not at all. Just learned about gels and I find I like the idea of it for three reasons.. One, less worry about spray coming back at me. Two, better accuracy at hitting target. Three, better sticking power. I just read that yes, gels do also cause breathing problems for attacker. So as I continue to research pros and cons of each option, Sabre Crossfire Red Pepper Gel is going to be my pick. Sabre consistently rates high all over the place. I already have some pepper spray, so the gel will be an addition to personal protection.
~Thanks so much for this thorough review. God forbid I ever have to use such things but hell yes, good to have, just in case. Beautiful world we have but we know all the people on it are not. 😉
@@UrbanSurvivor P.S. Be careful using the extremely overused word "most". 'Not possible to know "most people". 😉
@@DLionheart I have first hand seen gel backfire. Sometimes people who get sprayed with the gel will throw it back making it honestly even worse than stream or cone. I think stream is the best overall but cone if you had a group of people attacking.
Sabre Compact is fine, if the safety is twisted to on, it still has to be depressed. For walking and running it is fine.
For the saber, I jammed a tiny piece of cloth between the trigger and the rim to add friction. It is impossible to accidentally dislodge it no, but easy enough to get over it intentionally.
Pepper balls are another good item to consider if increased range or minimal blowback is a problem (30-60 feet).
I actually had the chance to review the compact pepperball launcher a few months ago - th-cam.com/video/0K77vHkGiTI/w-d-xo.html It was fun but the downside is you are likely to miss your target lol
Can they be shot outta a paintball gun? Or even smaller would be that hand sling shot
Thank you. I'm getting the big boy highly effective one. I carry a Glock 17 full size, but I'm not looking to kill people who attack me that are unarmed you feel me? much love from WA state
Awesome! I have a G17 too. Hopefully will get a ccw one day but im in California but it seems like it might be a possibility in the near future. But yes, definitely need a less lethal option. I think most situations would call for pepper spray over lethal force. Thanks for watching brother!

Big fan of the TW1000 63ml. It comes in a enclosure like the sabre red tactical. You can also get fog, gel and jet inserts. You also get inert inserts to train with :D.
I really appreciate this video. I have PTSD and am serverly paranoid of being attacked. I bought your recommended POM.
Tristen, look into getting a conceal carry license if you live in the states. With the recent passing of the bruen case the Supreme Court has now made it to where you no longer have to deal with state laws and their unconstitutional rulings on your freedoms. Every state that was "may issue" has now become "shall issue" even in corrupt states like California, New York, Maine, New Jersey, etc.
When you're looking for the most painful, don't you want one with higher OC percentage? Michigan allows up to 18% , all these appear to be 10% OC. You can buy some on Amazon that claim to be 23.
What you want is a higher "major capsaisinol" content, not the general OC.
@@TicTac-g7m which is better? mace take down 3 in 1 or sabre 3 in 1
The red compat works amazing, i had the dog detterant verison but used it on my neighbor today and on someone trying to fight me October 2023. I'd suggest buying the fox one or one with good power. Last year when i sprayed the guy it came out as a solid burst but its not very powerful like the fox one or bigger cans, when i used a can today it was a bit windy and wasnt as effective as last year but it did stop my neighbor from charging at me with a baseball bat from about 10-15 feet
Pom is VERY GOOD spray and they make a bigger hand held size as well.
The sabre is a pain with the safety.... But what i did was fold a piece of tape where and put it under the lock bump. This way it is wedged in and it doesnt slide easy. Just know itll ve harder to deploy but its worth it knowing it wont open in your pocket
Sabre red stream. Breathtakingly quick effects on poorly trained dogs and sometimes their reckless, entitled type person owners. Also good but splashes back more is the Sabre red combo with CS. Nasty stuff and also quick acting.
At where I live now,doesn't really care if it's legal or not… needa protect our self
never had the sabre squirt in my pocket. the flip top one has broken off. they're kinda flimsy. I like the twist off safety better. thanks.
I just got the one on the left, the little guy, cuz my neighbor went crazy last night... Tho I'm a little worried that the safety cap might twist too easily in my pocket or bag or something.
As most will likely go thru life and never have to deploy such, if they are an aerosol product, how long will the can stay pressurized ?
As with most aerosol products, the gases seem to eventually leak out ?
Too, is there a shelf life of sorts for this kind of thing ?
Now if only Amazon would ship to SC. They did so last year, none of these are illegal, but they won't.
They won't to NV either. I went to my local Sportsman Warehouse.
You should make another one of these videos, not all of these products are available anymore. I really wanted to buy the last one but I can’t find it, or anything similar to it, anywhere
So I’ve been thinking you could absolutely put high potency hydrochloride acid in one of these. And they should.
Gels and foams are designed to stick then body heat turns it liquid so it's good for people wearing glasses because it will run behind the glasses and you don't have to take a direct shot to the face for pepper spray to be effective
You mentioned that you were surprised that the gel didn't have longer spray time. Sabre products usually are designed to empty the can in 6 seconds. Even their frontiersman 9 ounce bear spray only has a 6 second spray time. The tactical red had a 7.5 second spray time, which is longer than most Sabre products.
Pom at close proximity is clutch. I know from first hand experience. The release pressure is fast!
Glad it worked well for you! Always great to hear first hand experience with these pepper sprays... Ive never had to use it in self defense but have sprayed a few dozen test units from a bunch of different brands and agree that the pressure on the POM is one of the best for its size!
Would u choose sabre or pom?
Sabre on my keys. Never had a problem with it accidentally deploying
Thanks. This was one of the best reviews I found. You rock!

The USA has some very strange laws state by state. In Florida you can have a firearm magazine of any capacity, unneutered ARs, double edged knives and speed limits seem to be loose suggestions. The two things you can't have is ballistic knives and pepper spray larger than 2.5 oz. .. go figure
I prefer the spray over the gel as well. I just haven't tried POM yet. BTW, love that Magpul wallet in your EDC shot at the end. I've been carrying that same wallet for around 3 yrs, love it.

i saw someone use peper spray in a fist fight at school
I just used the sabre red to defend my dog against an agressive stray cat, pretty damn effective.
Had to kick the cat to stop first attack, took the sabre out and deployed it just when the fcker went for the second attack.
Around 2 meters, first a 2-3 sec blast directly in the face. And another 2 sec blast for good measure.
The cat withdraw under a parked car and began to cry and moan heavily.
My dog and I got a little irritated eyes because of the wind, 5 min later like nothing happened not even red eyes or itching.
Cant say the same for the cat, it got spicy mexican for dinner.
I carry fox labs 5.3 and my girl has pom and my buddy who is a cop he has fox so not saying any other ones are bad but i only buy fox and pom
Def need to pick something good up for California usage. (2.5 oz max) Price is no concern. Some crazy guy started attacking this couple in a car next door at work this morning, as soon as they fled he walked torwards our shop and started getting all crazy to us for no reason and started swinging at me. Pulling a gun was the last thing I wanted to do even tho I would’ve been in the right. But giving him some hot sauce would’ve been pretty sweet. Luckily I submitted him and had to wait 10 mins for the cops to show.
Check out POM! Thats what Im carrying. Sorry to hear about you having to be involved in a situation like that. Good to have some pepper spray around in the future!
I tested the sabre Red on myself when I got a bottle for my sister and I was out for hrs plus it went down my crack and nards and it was almost too much to bare
There good brands. It can defend your self when unexpected happens. Just point at the face and eyes.
Thanks for making the video! I liked the pom until I realized it was clear... Seems like it's harder to see when spraying as well. Think I'm going with the Sabre.
Very helpful comparison with top notch tests, thank you!
What do you think of the Police OC-17 Magnum? I find it’s an easy carry in my jacket pocket while at the filling station, grocery store, anywhere where mischief might happen. It has the covered flip top safety and a belt clip also…larger volume.
thanks man for displaying all of theses. I'm looking the pepper spray who has a strong OC . if there is anything you can advise me. thanks again
Look into Fox Labs products.
I carry both of the most recent formulations of their 1.4 and 5.3 squared.

Aw man that's what I'm always scared of.... How bad was it? I'm assuming it absolutely ruined your clothes but how did it effect your skin?
As I mentioned in an earlier comment I was able to stop a trained attack dog. My . customers German Shepherd. The housekeeper had forgotten it was out in the yard.... I grabbed the lawn chair and fended the dog off for a couple seconds enough time to grab my mace pepper guard.. off my belt and spray the dog with three burst in the face... It took three or four seconds to take effect..(the longest tree seconds in my life) .. the dog lay down and started rubbing his eyes with his paws giving me time to get out the gate! .. why did the dog attack? Thats what he was trained to do.!! .he came around the corner of the house with his mouth open bearing his teeth !...HE did not bark or growl... Luckily I grabbed the lawn chair and kept him from lunging at my throat till I got the spray on him!

If it has your dog in it’s jaws, you will spray your dog as well, and that shit does not come off easily. It’s like oil based paint! It’s extremely painful, but there is no other product yet that compares to Sabre Red crossfire gel. I wish I could show you pictures of my dog walking setup.
One thing i have learned from youtube comments is to pretty much avoid the comments great video thank you for the great information
Comments can be VERY helpful.
Would any of these be effective on animals during hikes?
They would probably be effective against small animals like dogs, coyotes, bobcats etc but I would go with bear spray if you are worried about bears/ mountain lions etc..
Seems like some kind of combination of gel and regular spray would be ideal.
Just had to use the red Saber the other day definitely neutralized the threat.
Awesome! Glad it worked out well for you!
Thanks for the review. I usually carry my gun myself so I got the protection and covered, but for the lady friend, this would be perfect for her.
the POM compact and Sabre red keychain amazon affiliate links both lead to the Sabre
why did you not like the fox brand? It seemed to perform better than the others I thought
Probably paid more by the Sabre companies
Thanks for making this video!
There's so many good brand oc spray like dps black label, udap mugger fooger, foxlab 1,4, vexor, pepper enforcement, etc, and and for effectiveness always choose a fogger or stream because the respiratory effect is very crucial if the perpetrator uses a mask and glasses or a balaclava or motorbike helmet,
forget about gel because is have tiny string sprayer and no or very little respiratory effect and for self defense purpose gel is bad choice
which is better? mace take down 3 in 1 or sabre 3 in 1?
I can't believe why DPS was not reviewed or talked about !
Great review, thank you. If there a product like bear spray with a fog, but comes in a medium sized can?
Hey Chris, Thanks for watching! I did a video comparing a few of Police Magnums Pepper Sprays and they actually have a 5 ounce can thats kind of like a medium sized bear spray. It's a hgih output unit and would be excellent for multiple attackers at short range. Check it out and let me know what you think - th-cam.com/video/R9wLouleJiU/w-d-xo.html
Thanks US. I do not have a PS in my EDC. I think I may need to think about carrying one......:)
Yeah a non lethal self defense option is a great thing to include in your EDC!
Lmao...just had a guy rear end me and storm out with his fist clenched and sprayed him with the Sabre Red Compact. I got him but unfortunately the wind blew some back and messed my eyes all up. Luckily there was a police station right across the street.
I got Pom & Sabre, I take Pom with me into work, it doesn't set off metal detectors. Im sure Sabre would set off detector.
On the Active Self Protection channel, the channel host indicated that the Sabre Red gel can take up to 30-45 seconds to build up enough 'heat' to repel the target - Anyone verify that?
Just carry a water gun filled with burning hot sauce .......same thing
Hiker i have used Sabre over a dozen times. On some people it is immediately effective on some it may take 40 seconds or so however it has always worked.
@@Davepq100 What's going on in your life, that you've had to use it so many times?
@@Davepq100 40 seconds? Hell might as well not even use it, that's very unacceptable
@@protirotijuana6 sorry for the late reply. Police Officer
At the 23 Mark he talks about how you should check before buying pepper spray to see if it's legal basically. Well when it's being sold at your local dollar store then I'm pretty sure it's legal
I am referring to online purchases. Some states have different laws about cannister sizes and oc content. Yes, if its sold at your local dollar store you should be fine.
excellent info, video deserves more views.
Thank you! Im hoping the TH-cam algo gives it a bump in the comming months.
I am traveling, a car trip and will pass through 3 states. Does pepper spray not work for this purpose?
