I bought this product to practice using bear spray and the first time I used it I sprayed it twice for a couple of seconds each and it only sprayed about 10 feet.. Then later I assembled a class to use it a third time and it had no spray left. To my knowledge it never discharged accidentally nor did the safety come off and yet from the start it seemed defective. I would like a new one that actually has some propellant in it.

I really don't understand how native English speakers can mistake this for a real bear spray. I'm a first generation immigrant who learned to speak English here and it was clear as day to me that this is NOT bear spray. It says INERT in the description!!!!!! The only reason I can think of, is that they see a low price, and think they got a steal, and want to blame it on the seller later. You can't find real bear spray for $20 anywhere. So read the description. It's VERY CLEAR what you're buying. And very helpful to learn how to use the actual spray. It works very well, and sprays far! We encountered couple of bears on a hike and I will not be unprepared again.

I saw a video of someone using a bear spray and thought this would act the same. Theirs had a very sharp stream, much like the "Jet" setting on your water hose. Also, theirs went far. NOTE: I just saw the recent Amazon video and I am not comparing this part to that. I will address the Amazon video in the last paragraph.This one was tested in the winter. It was cold, and I tried to put it near the heater before using, to warm it up. It was still probably cold. Anyway, when I finally decided to test it, I shot it out and it didn't go as far as expected. Maybe 10-12 feet? I was expecting 20 feet+. It was not a "Jet" either... it was more of the "Mist" setting, but super high-powered. Imagine a fire extinguisher.I just watched the Amazon video, and this seems accurate. They advertise a MAXIMUM of 35ft... which I assume is in perfect conditions. I.e. a warm bottle, the wind blowing with you, no obstructions, etc. The video shows the spray going somewhere between 8-15 feet... which I think is accurate. When I imagine a huge bear... this is pretty close. So, I would assume you would only use this when a bear has already approached you, or if you are trying to relieve an attack on your dog or a person. I am always with my dog and she can be defensive, so I could see this being my only scenario.I would try this thing out and get comfortable with it (quick) before expecting to come across bears. My idea of the distance and spray was different, but I now see how it works. Last note: I think I sprayed it about 3x with 2-second holds each time. If I held it down through the whole bottle, I would say it would last no more than 5-6 seconds. So be sure when you pull the trigger, like a gun.

Haven't needed to chase off any bears but when I found my cylinder lacked any of the factory imprint that is supposed to tell whether it's part of a recall or not, they sent me a replacement very quickly.

My wife and I both wondered what it would be like to actually use a bear-spray canister...this answered that question (without actual debilitating spray, of course). Gave us an opportunity to get a feel for the process, which is sure to help if the time comes when we need to use it for real.

This is an inset training unit. This is not the actual spray. Wish I read the fine print!

“SABRE Frontiersman 7.9 oz. Bear Spray, Maximum Strength 2.0% Major Capsaicinoids, Powerful 30 ft. Range Bear Deterrent, Outdoor Camping & Hiking Protection”. Reads like like actual Bear Spray, but it ISNT. I didn’t realize until it arrived and there is of course no way to return it. While it does clarify elsewhere in the description, myself and the other one star reviews not used to false advertising on Amazon fell for it.
