I've had this stuff for a while and had to use it this morning so I thought I'd share some first hand info. I had to spray a dog at a distance of 10 feet. I used the spray with my index finger (arthritis in thumbs) and was impressed with the accuracy. The spray was on target and immediately the dog was backing off and ran away. There is no over spray to worry about getting on me or my dog. Very impressed with ease of use and effectiveness. Also every day when I put this spray on the belt I give it a good shake, I hear that's important.

Bought again because previous purchase is approaching expiration date. New purchase has a 2028 expiration date.This product 100% lives up to the hype. Super easy to use, the belt clip makes it easily accessible. And unlike key chain types or other models that even Sabre makes, it is almost impossible to accidentally discharge. You need put your finger, or preferably thumb, under the protective top cap & apply pressure to fire it. Clumsy fumbling around because it’s in your purse or pocket won’t set it off. That said, use precautions to keep it out of kids hands because only they have that special talent.True to its advertising, this product shoots in a stream easily 20ft in light to mid wind and any blowback (minimal) is easily avoided by taking a couple steps sideways. It’s like a gelatinous ghost pepper wasp spray on steroids. Definitely will disable humans or animals XXL dog size or below. Bears may or may not be impeded. Plenty of product in 1 can for multiple threats in a single event. Perfect legal protection, in a convenient size, for men, women and seniors. 10/10

I recently purchased a 2-pack of Pepper Gel Self-Defense Spray for less than $15. Here's a detailed review of my experience with the product:Pros:1. Affordable Price: The 2-pack was reasonably priced, providing good value for money.2. Quick Delivery: The product arrived quickly after ordering, which was a pleasant surprise.3. Long Expiration Dates: Both cans had expiration dates four years into the future, indicating that they were quite new.4. Well-Designed Clip: The clip attached to the can appeared to be strong and flexible, designed to accommodate various needs without being overly complex.5. Safety Mechanisms: The product features safety mechanisms to prevent accidental discharge, adding an extra layer of security.6. Gel Stream: The gel stream is preferred over spray by some users as it reduces the risk of accidental dousing and provides better aim.Cons:1. Lack of Lip under Nozzle: There is an obvious need for a small lip under the nozzle to prevent spraying onto fingers and provide leverage to deploy the gel more effectively.2. Labeling Issue: The expiration date on the bottom of the can easily rubs off, and the edges of the label remain annoyingly sticky.3. Limited Product Quantity: Despite the size of the container, there is only around 5 or 6 seconds of continuous spray, which may not be sufficient in emergency situations with multiple attackers.Overall Impression:The Pepper Gel Self-Defense Spray is a reasonably priced product that offers good value for money. While it has some design flaws, such as the lack of a lip under the nozzle and labeling issues, it features safety mechanisms and a gel stream preferred by many users. However, the limited quantity of product in the container may be a concern for some users, especially in emergency situations. Despite these drawbacks, it has proven to be effective in self-defense scenarios, providing users with a sense of security and protection. Overall, I would recommend this product to anyone looking for a reliable self-defense option.

Update 5/6/2023Still using this stuff with confidence. Always use gel. Spray will only end up affecting you and your animals, making you more vulnerable. Always get the version with the belt clip. The versions that come with an elastic holster will only delay you being able to use the product a few precious seconds. When you must use this, you need it now. A lot can happen in the few seconds of fiddling with a holder. So, get gel, get one with a clip molded to the product neck, and check the laws in the area you are in to ensure you can legally carry this. It’s quite effective and worth every penny. If anything has improved, the gel stream is even more precise.Update 4/4/2021Thought I’d update. I still swear by this stuff. I’ve had two more aggressive loose dog run ins. The gel with the built in plastic clip is absolutely the way to go!If you get the spray, it’ll just blow into you and your dogs. Then you’re left standing there with your eyes sealed shut. Get gel and your chances of hitting your target go way up while minimizing any getting on you or your dogs. My latest incident was with another loose pit bull. This dog was on a mission and it wasn’t to say hi. Grabbed the gel off my belt, aimed, and a stream (not spray) of this goo spattered its face. Sorry dog, but if it’s between my dogs and I vs you, you’re gonna lose. It ran off into some bushes and started rolling around while we got outta there. Great stuff!Update 7/30/19I swear by this stuff! Had another run-in with a dog while walking my dogs. This dog was very aggressive, so I used the gel again. Very shortly after the steam hit the dog, away it stumbled into the dark. After being in law enforcement for 20 years, I assure you this stuff is miserable for 20 minutes or so. Don’t get me wrong, I love animals, but I won’t hesitate defending myself/my animals when I have no choice. It’s now 2 for 2 (first incident was with two dogs, so maybe I can say it’s 3 for 3). Can’t praise the gel stream enough especially now that it has the built in belt clip. Go with the built in belt clip. Others are offered with a flimsy nylon holster with Velcro flap. Takes too much time to deploy when you need it most. Gel with belt clip is the way to go. Unlike the aerosol, the gel goes direct to the target. Aerosol can EASILY blow right back at you in even the slightest of wind. Leaving you vulnerable. I always carry two with me on my belt and have a supply at home. Worth every penny.Sabre also makes this with the Ruger brand on it. Sabre recently release this product that comes with the built in belt clip, like the Ruger model. This gel is amazing. A pair of pit bulls showed up out of nowhere while walking my dogs. I emptied the whole canister on them as they approached. They ran and began rubbing their heads into the park lawn. Eventually stumbled away. Go gel. Always go gel. Plus this has the uv marking dye that will make whoever/whatever attacked you glow in the dark when hit with a uv light. Get this version with the belt clip and walk with confidence.
