SABRE Crossfire Pepper Gel - 360° Spray for Defense at Any Angle, Maximum Strength Police-Grade OC Pepper Spray with UV Marking Dye, 20‑Foot Tactical Range, Fast Flip Top Safety, Belt Clip, 1.5 fl oz

I work for a company that does many things, armed security, bounty hunting, bodyguarding and private investigation work, most recently one of my jobs was securing multiple apartment complexes, my partner got a call that someone was breaking into apartments, when I arrived it was pouring rain, flooding even, 3" deep water rushing past my waterproof boots on the sidewalk, I head towards an area where people are flashing us with lights to get our attention and a woman leaning against the archway of a stairwell starts coming after me and pulls out a meat cleaver, I instantly draw my gun and have the light/laser on her as well, I supposed she came to her senses and did not want to get shot so she stopped coming towards me so when I felt like I could I grabbed the Sabre Red off of my Molle Plate Carrier and painted her entire face in the gel from about 8 feet away, she started screaming and swinging the cleaver and acted like she was going to throw it so I took cover behind a wall then less than 10 seconds after being sprayed she dropped the cleaver and dropped to her knees and put her face in the water and tried to wipe it off her face, she was groaning and screaming and I was able to quickly grab all of the bladed weapons that she had while she was incapacitated, there were two knives and one meat cleaver, the Police arrived soon after and arrested her, I saw her later in the back of a squad car and her eyes were swollen like she had two black eyes. This product is amazing, it has good range and spraying power like I mentioned it was storming heavily and flooding and it still shot a jetstream straight to her face, I covered her entire face with it and she had zero fight in her after that, when the cops came she instantly got on her knees and they put her away. I'm not sure if she was on drugs or had mental problems all I know is this works and i'm buying more right now because this is the second day in a row i've had to pull it out but the first time i've had to use it.

Carry it when walking the dog at night. Good stuff...

This pepper gel spray is an ideal choice for those seeking a compact and convenient self-defense tool. Its perfect size ensures that it is lightweight and can easily fit into most bags, purses, or pockets without taking up much space. The inclusion of a clip is a thoughtful feature that allows for easy attachment to belts, bags, or clothing, making it readily accessible in case of an emergency. The durability of the aluminum canister is noteworthy, as it is robust enough to withstand being jostled around in a bag alongside other items without sustaining damage. Additionally, the canister has proven to be leak-proof, providing peace of mind that the gel spray will remain contained until it is needed. Overall, this pepper gel spray combines practicality with reliability, making it a valuable addition to any personal safety arsenal.

Update 8/23/2025 Added photos of new canisters I bought. Read the important guide that comes along with it. I’m still using this stuff and swear by it. Gel is absolutely the way to go in my opinion. So glad the molded side clip is catching on. Remember, a threat can present itself out of nowhere. When you need to protect yourself and your doggies, you need to be able to have your defense ready immediately (while evaluating the threat as things can change very quickly). Fractions of a second count. Keep it clipped to the side where your free hand is. The other hand will be controlling your doggie(s). Using a soft pouch with elastic on the sides and a flap on top for retention may have a cute look to it, but it will take valuable time away from visually evaluating the perceived threat. Better to be ready sooner. Valuable seconds can go by very quickly while fiddling with getting your gel out. Keep staying safe folks! :) Update 5/6/2023 Still 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 4/4/2021 Thought 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 7/30/19 I 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.

I've been carrying this on walks and runs with my dog after having multiple encounters with uncontrolled off-leash dogs. Until now I had always been able to deter approaching dogs by yelling and waving my hands. Tonight was the first time I actually had to use it. While returning home from a walk, an off-leash dog ran into my yard and attacked my smaller dog. I deployed the pepper gel toward the attacking dog. The first application caused the dog to disengage briefly, but the dog came back toward us again. I used the remainder of the can, which stopped the interaction and allowed us to get away safely. Overall: it did what I bought it to do. I was not injured and my dog was not seriously injured, so from that perspective it was a success. Pros: The gel formulation significantly reduced blowback. Some spray did get onto my dog during the incident, and I accidentally got some on myself afterward while rinsing her off, but the exposure was manageable. After flushing with water, both of us were fine. Given how close my dog was to the attacking dog, I appreciated that it was not a large cloud affecting everyone nearby. The size is convenient to carry while running/walking, and it was easy to access quickly when needed. Cons: The stopping power was less dramatic than I expected. This was not an instant “spray once and the dog immediately runs away” situation. It took multiple seconds of sustained spraying before the dog backed off, and the first application did not prevent the dog from returning. It felt more like the spray disrupted the attack and bought me enough time to get away rather than immediately incapacitating the dog. The range was adequate but not exceptional. The capacity was also just enough for this incident — I used the entire can during one encounter. Final thoughts: I am still glad I had it. The product worked, and the outcome was much better than trying to physically separate two dogs. I will continue carrying pepper spray/gel, although I may look for a larger capacity option for more margin. I think this is probably a realistic compromise: strong enough to stop an aggressive dog without causing permanent injury, but do not expect it to work like it does in movies. Be prepared to keep spraying, create distance, and retreat.

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.

This is the best gel pepper spray on the market; I like that it deploys regardless of the angle you're spraying from. I purchased these as replacements for some prior canisters that are about to expire; always watch the expiration date on a canister.

I recently purchased this and haven't had a chance to use it yet. I've also never used a gel before. However, I have used other SABRE products, notably Phantom and Red, with a fogger delivery system. I've used it on a lot of people (I teach defensive tactics, which includes OC), and I've been sprayed a number of times. To be clear, I'm not hooked on SABRE. I've used several quality products. The OC does work. Phantom and Red and the highest percentage of major capcasinoids (1.33%) you can purchase, before you move into bear spray (2.0%). One advantage of the Crossfire system is that it can be sprayed from any angle. This isn't true of all OC delivery systems, even within the SABRE family. Another benefit of this product is the UV dye. I believe this lasts for days, even with washing. If the cops can track down a bad guy within a day or two, they can confirm the person has been sprayed (or somehow got UV dye all over their face). SABRE is one of the top manufacturers of OC on the market, along with Defensive Technologies. I'd buy from either of these companies rather than risk a generic brand. I look at negative reviews when considering a purchase, as they are very useful. I decided to mention a few things about a few of the negative reviews for this product, because they don't paint a fair picture of OC. I'm speaking of OC in general, not necessarily SABRE brand. First, there was a comment that this shouldn't be stored in environments above 120 degrees, and the company should have done a better job informing customers. This temperature isn't just for this product. No aerosol cans are supposed to be stored above 120 degrees, just as they shouldn't be stored in extreme cold. It has nothing to do with the product. It's the same for spray paint, WD-40, air horns, etc. It's because of the pressure from both extremes, and the effects they have on the can itself, the contents, and the seals. OSHA goes into a lot of detail about how aerosols are stored in the workplace. The same holds true in your personal storage. Second, there were many comments that this was worthless because it didn't stop dogs. OC is designed for people, not dogs. OC can certainly work on dogs, but there are several factors to consider. It doesn't work on all dogs, it may not work on aggressive dogs, and it can make aggressive dogs even more aggressive. You also have to keep in mind this is a gel, NOT a spray or fogger. This means you need direct eye contact with the product application. If you miss by even a little, it's not going to be effective. The gel doesn't have a straight trajectory right out of the can; you need to practice with it to learn how to spray it, because, again, it has to make direct contact with the eyes. If you want a higher success rate, go with a stream/fogger. There is a downside to that, too, which I've experienced myself. OC from a stream/fogger hangs in the air and blows around in the wind. There's a good chance you're going to take a hit from it, too. I didn't look at all the negative reviews, but of the ones I did, none said it didn't work on people. Lastly, there were negative reviews about the size being too big to put in your pocket. The size is listed in the product description. There are photos of it being held in people's hands. It comes with a belt clip for attaching to your belt. They do make smaller cans designed for everyday carry. This isn't one of them.

Ist Super

Very nice

Wir haben das gute Stück getestet. Wir wollten ja bewusst kein Spray, aber ein Strahl von ca. 2 Millimeter Durchmesser, der noch dazu nicht gerade raus sondern leicht schräg nach oben geht... Also bis man den Gegner da getroffen hat, wo man ihn kampfunfähig macht – die Augen –, hat er längst reagiert und Dich erwischt. Wer glaubt, damit geschützt zu sein, hat verloren.
