Looking for some high quality, proven to work, mace for my wife to carry in her purse.
Thanks
Thanks
Thanks for explaining and clearing that up for me, as well as the name brand suggestion.Mace is a brand name for a mixture that used CS. Like Kleenex and Xerox it’s come to represent all types of chemical defensive sprays. OC is the standard these days and there are several good brands. Fox Labs is a good brand. I’m sure others will have a different recommendation. I don’t remember what my department issued, I’ve been retired for a while now.
Ahhh, I didnt know this either. I will do a search for Pepper Spray as well. ThanksMace is concentrated tear gas, it's the old kid on the block. Pepper Spray is the way to go, much more effective.
By the way, years ago on my department any officer wanting to carry spray had to take a hit with it as part of our training regime.
Excellent idea. A class for her didnt cross my mind. I will do a search for such a class in our area. Thanks for your service and help.Along with whatever spray you choose for your wife... Please make a point of teaching her the best, most effective way of using it. Part of that is learning what it can’t do for you as well as it’s other drawbacks...
The best instruction would be an organized class - but informative articles or even the literature that the manufacturer provides can be useful.
Most folks simply carry or keep nearby that can of spray “in case” with little thought of how they’ll use it on that one time it’s needed...
Lastly, for women in particular, having a canister of OC in your purse when an attacker might just do a purse snatch to begin an assault... might not be your best tactic.

I will pass on getting sprayed...lol. I remember something similar, and it was the gas chamber test back in the Army in 1986 and I got a terrible dose because my mask wasnt sealed properly...lol. Thanks for your service.Same here. The reasoning was we had to learn to fight though it to avoid being disarmed.

Thanks
Navy boot camp 1959, we had to remove the mask for a count, don’t recall the count but it was an ordeal. Newport RI, 1960 firefighting school, hose crew with no mask in a bunker with burning oil. I’d pass on the face full of pepper spray though.Excellent idea. A class for her didnt cross my mind. I will do a search for such a class in our area. Thanks for your service and help.

Sounds great. I will check that out.I like the Sabre Red Gel.
I think the 'keychain' size is too small.

You linked to the entire threads; which product did you order?Well I ordered two of these...https://www.thehighroad.org/index.php?threads/pepper-spray-the-truth.768705/
According to this guy in this link, I think I ordered the right thing...https://www.thehighroad.org/index.php?threads/pepper-spray-the-truth.768705/
Can someone let me know if I made a good decision ?
Thanks
I carry one.
Well the first link is what I ordered. The second link is the entire thread. Thanks for making me aware of my mistake.You linked to the entire threads; which product did you order?
Interesting thanks.I carry one.
I have no idea whwther I like it or not.
Thanks for your suggestion. The guy in the link provided has an extensive amount of knowledge and experience imo. What you suggested is probably a great product in his opinion.Most law enforcement up here carries either the Safariland owned Defense Technology "First Defense" 360 1.3 in a Mk 4, or else one of the Sabre LE products. The 1.3 formulation is the best, most effective stuff I've ever been exposed to (never volunteer to be an OC instructor) and provides great results on the streets (and correctional facilities, where it's probably used ever more often).

As a Dallas copper once told me: You can act-up all you want, but when you hear the rip of Velcro on a OC belt holster, it is time to straighten-up or grab grief.
