SABRE RED Pepper Gel - Police Strength Pepper Spray

So, in brief, this is why I got this pepper gel for my wife.

1) Small size. It fits easily in a purse or a jacket pocket.

2) Convenience. It easily attaches to a set of keys if she needs to keep it even handier.

3) The key rings detach easily, if needed.

4) This is not a pepper spray, it is a pepper gel. Why does this matter? She is less likely to spray herself in a cloud of spray that goes everywhere and if you hit the bad guy on the face the gel holds that pepper right to his face. In addition, this gel has a tint to it so that when the bad guy cleans his face off he will still be marked.

5) A flip top so that it won't accidentally go off in your pocket, purse or whatever.

Negatives:

1) The flip top lid. It's kind of clunky and if you had to flip it up in an emergency it might be tricky.(Yes, I did just say that the flip top lid is good and bad)

2) The finger guard is a little too small - if you grab the pepper gel sprayer too fast your finger could easily slide up and block the hole that the gel comes out of. But, if the trigger guard was any larger, it could easily snag on something.

So, like all self-defense tools, this has good things and bad things, a series of compromises. But, those compromises are probably the right choices in this case.
