Pepper Spray Reviews

Everyone thinks that there is a difference between mace and pepper spray. Mace is actually a company that sells pepper spray and security products.

So you can buy Mace pepper spray or Brand XXX pepper spray.

You need to look at the types of pepper spray you may want, the strength, the effective spraying distance, etc. before deciding on a brand. Your needs will determine the best pepper spray for you.

Imagine walking down a dark street or through a parking garage at night and one or more scary type guys are lurking. What would you do?

You'll see all kinds of pepper sprays advertising different percentages of oleo capsicum (OC) or number of Scoville Heat Units.
What does all this mean?

The OC % tells you how much of the actual pepper is contained in the spray solution. These may range from 10% to 18%, the higher the %, the higher the concentration of OC pepper solution, making it more effective. Check your state because there are restrictions on this percentage.

Did you ever cut open a jalapeno or habanero pepper and accidentally touch your face or eyes? Imagine that feeling multiplied! The units of measurement are the Scoville Heat Units (SHU) and describe the intensity of the "pain." Usually you'll see pepper sprays rated at 2-3 SHU.

What type you carry will depend on your own situations. Think about where you go, what time of day or night, are you alone, what kind of neighborhood are you in, etc. You should carry the most effective type of pepper spray to protect you.

Pepper gel sticks like glue on your attacker's face. It fires a longer distance and uses a stronger pepper formula to incapacitate an attacker faster.
The more he tries to rub it off, the more it sinks into his skin.

Pepper gel is better on a windy day, no blowback in your own face from the spray. It also can be used indoors-your home, car or some other building because the effects won't spread.

Pepper gel comes in many different sizes like pepper spray so you're sure to find one that works best for you.

Yes you can! Big or small, whether they are on the verge of attacking you or just getting a bit too close, you can use this.

It's a specially formulated dog repellent pepper spray. This one is EPA approved and is safe & humane. It will spray up to 10 feet, so the dog won't get too close to you.

Whether you walk, jog, bicycle, deliver mail, you can feel safer with this by your side.

You could also probably use it to shut up your neighbor's noisy, barking mutts.

Many people won't even consider the Mace Pepper Gun because it looks like a gun. They'll totally ignore the fact that it can save their lives and has saved others.

It looks more like a toy gun, just look at the colors available-silver, pink, blue, and blue/black. I think the fact that it looks like a toy makes it a secret weapon. Will your attacker take you seriously? Doesn't matter, just spray him while he's laughing at your toy!

The Mace Pepper Spray Gun sprays in any direction, even upside down, in a continuous stream, and has a range of up to 25'. You don't even have to let an attacker get as close as you would if you had a regular size pepper spray.

So for the anti-gun people out there, maybe this one will change your mind. It is a non lethal self defense weapon, as opposed to a real gun. You can't kill anyone with it, it can't shoot through a wall, and it doesn't shoot as far as a bullet.
