Kimber Self Defense Less-Lethal PepperBlaster 3 - (3 Pack) - Red

I’ve been carrying for many years but get frustrated when there are restaurants and some businesses where you can’t. The mall is one such place and one has to decide if they go in a gun free zone and potentially not be able to protect yourself…or carry something that could help. I’ve used a number of sprays through the years and I test them out, especially with the ones nearing expiration. I was surprised at how close you have to be with some and with others that were more direct had a larger size and couldn’t readily be carried. I was once charged by a grown pit bull and retreated quickly to my car. If I hadn’t, the only thing I could have done is shot the dog, deal with a potential lawsuit, and everything else that comes with it. If I had this with me, the issue could have been resolved. The dog’s owner wouldn’t be happy, but they should have confined their dog.The same with an attacker. In looking at all the videos of OC / pepper spray I have watched those being shot with it still not unable to discharge a firearm if they had one. This being said, if they have a firearm and intend to use it, I don’t believe this would stop that. I do believe however you could use it on someone with a knife or seeking to fight, etc. especially if you had some distance between them and yourself… but again, probably not against a firearm. Of all the sprays and devices out there, I think this provides the standoff (distance) between you an attacker, it provides the ability to get away and also not be as concerned about wind blow back from the use. These are issues with other devices I’ve tried. You only get two shots with this, but it also beats standing there and “hosing” someone down with another type of dispenser. I purchased three of them, one for my wife, one for me and one for my car. You get what you pay for and I think it brings a price point that is less than a less-lethal pistol configuration that costs $400+ and has the size of a firearm. I still carry, but I often opt to have this with me as well. Having this gives you an option for a less lethal or non lethal aspect if it’s needed. It gives you some protection in gun free areas and with this you have a fighting chance. This in no way replaces a firearm, nor would I carry this instead of one, but it provides a second option if needed.

I keep these pepper blasters in all my cars. I went with them because they have a heat tolerance. My area gets hot in summer and they have been fine.

Perfect.

Excellent product. Capsaicin gel is dyed orange and projects in a tight pattern to an effective range of about 15 feet.

I haven't used one but I trust Kimber to sell a great product.

Haven't used it yet, but super compact and light weight. Easy to carry..easy to use.

You can go to YouTube and see actual demonstrations of this product. You get three of these, which have two shots each.Much better than the pepper spray people carry around on key chains or in their pockets.Small enough to easily clip onto a pocket (with the attached clip) or just put in your front pocket, or in a woman's purse.Product is small, so a woman's hand could easily handle it as well.Puts out a strong blast to the attacker, and gives you time to get away.Since it only has two blasts, probably only effective against one attacker.Of course, situational awareness is key, as soon as you detect a threat, or someone is being aggressive with you, it is time to get this thing into your hands and be ready to shoot it, if necessary.For a non lethal carrying self defense, which is easily to carry or conceal, it does not get much better than this.

Two practice shots then . . . Nothing. It no longer works. Pretty accurate out to fifteen feet but now useless.
