Disclaimer: This review describes a defensive use of the product. This use was far from perfectly executed. I made mistakes and so did other around me. I don't really want, nor need feedback on all the errors made. I'm telling it as it happened not as it should have happened. There is no advice in this review except that you should buy this right now.Last night at a restaurant a large drunk man was looking for a fight. He was not a customer. He was only inside to start trouble. He was threatening and attempting to provoke a server that asked him to leave. Things escalated and he grabbed the server around his legs. He released quickly, and a female server stepped in thinking it would deescalate things to have a woman between them. It did not and the drunk man "stepped up" and went nose to nose with her. I stepped in and lightly pushed him back to generate enough distance to get between them. I again attempted to convince him to leave trying to keep things as calm as possible. He escalated further and wrapped arms around my legs and lifted me into the air. I'm not sure on the rule on description of violence are here. I will just say that I responded quickly and he had to take a few steps back. I have the kydex holster for this product. It was at this point I drew, and began to get loud and using my non dominant hand to actively push him backwards. He again lifted me in the same fashion. He put me right in his face while I was brandishing a pepper gun lol. I put it about an inch from his face and used the product. I know this wasn't proper use, and I'm not recommending anything whatso ever with anything I am recounting. D*** it work well though! He hit the floor immediately and began vomiting. he went face down on the floor and went unresponsive. Meaning he wouldn't respond, not the medical definition. He lay there fully stretched out with his face in floor for over 10 minutes until the first cop got there, It took 6 of them to get him off the floor. I took a minute to accomplish. At the point the took him to the car his eyes were still fiercely closed. The only downsides were what you would expect using a high power stream at point blank range indoors. When the stream made contact with his eye it had enough power to stay a stream as it ricocheted off his face. Luckily no one else was hit. Everyone had the good sense to give us space when I drew. The air was a little stingy afterwards but not to bad. I got some on my hand due to splash-back, but again that was my misuse of the product. Not only do I endorse this product, I actively thank God that I had it.

I bought this product because I spend some time in a few bad neighborhoods for work and when I occasionally go out to parties. Anyway I was leaving a party with two girls (which I told them I would give them a ride home). As we were walking away from the party, a fairly big guy kept following us, until I turned around and asked what he was doing. The man revealed that his intentions were to rob us and possibly force himself onto the girls I was driving home. I revealed the pepper spray gun still in the protective case (which looks very much like a real gun with the black case and the black handle and all) and I said "very funny, keep talking and I will give you a mouth full of lead!" (leading them to the conclusion that I had a lethal weapon such as a Glock) and he said no way that's a real gun and as he continued to approach me I said "go ahead call my bluff go head see what happens CALL MY BLUFF! This will only end one way for you!" and the assailant left. This to me seemed like the right call; however, I was wrong. He return with nine of his friends to rob us. I told them that I felt threaten and please just let us into my car and we will be out of your hair. My attempts at talking my way out of this seemed unsuccessful. The people seemed extremely irrational and violent. Two man came at me, one punches me in the face at this moment I took out my non lethal weapon and shot both of them in the face, the gun proved extremely accurate and affective, and the other people launched them selves at me. The gun is very good and I estimate I was about five feet from the people at the time I shot the others. As we obviously couldn't take on TEN people we ran. A man went to tackle me and I shot him and he fell. Another person came at me as I shot into his eyes and he still managed to tackled me and was able to throw one good punch at me until the pepper spray became to overwhelming for him to continue. As at this point I have dropped the gun(when I got tackled) and we were fairly far from the rest of the people, the faster people have been pepper sprayed and was now laying there screaming in pain:). We ran back to my car and drove away to safety still hearing people screaming with pain as we drove off. Overall I learned a few things and have some advice. First thing is that this gun is excellent in range and effectiveness; even through it did take approximately 2-3 seconds for the pepper to take effect. This is to me seemed very good depending on how much adrenaline is rushing and to take down a few larger men. Second I would never show off this gun because well it looks so much like a real gun and especially don't show this to anyone with police present (obviously) and make sure the weapon is concealed. Only take the weapon out when you have to and should be your last defense against threatening individuals. I must have pepper sprayed five people and all the people screamed and even got some pepper spray on my hand which burned a lot (I can't even imagine that in my eyes). Thirdly and the one I personally view as the most important is to tell the menacing person (s) that you feel threaten and to please go away, still don't mention that you have a weapon of any short with you because in my situation this made people not only more prong to violence, but this made the guy think of a plan and to bring more people to assault me. If you have to pull this weapon during an unpleasant event and if the police gets involved it will go a lot better if you told your assailants that you feel threaten and to please go away! This will make sure you don't get charged with misusing your weapon and it will make it easier for you to charge your assailants with assault. Thusly this weapon is excellent in delicate situation and I highly recommend this product for self defense ONLY. Thanks for reading!
