Are Law Enforcement Defense Sprays significantly more potent than civilian products?
There are significant differences in potency from one defense spray to the next. However, civilians have access to defense sprays with the same potency as carries by agencies using the strongest available formulations. Please keep in mind that many agencies carry defense sprays for quick take down and quick decontamination. Other departments opt for the strongest formulation possible. Either way, consumers are able to purchase products of the same strengths.
Though many agencies carry either the SABRE or SABRE Red defense sprays, there is not an agency in the United States that is carrying a blended formulation which is stronger than SABRE or an OC only formulation which is stronger than SABRE Red!
For how long do most units fire?
On average, all SABRE units fire 75% longer than the industry average. For example, the average 1/2 oz. canister fires for approximately 5 seconds. All SABRE 1/2 oz units fire approximately 25 1/2 second to 1 second bursts! A ? oz. canister is the most popular size carried among civilians.
For how long will most products last?
All aerosol products will eventually lose pressure over time. Most defense sprays last for only two years from their manufacture date. Because all SABRE products use only the best available components and formulation ingredients, all SABRE products have a four year shelf life!
How far do most products fire?
Depending upon the wind, most defense sprays using a stream spray pattern fire 8 to 12 feet. Defense sprays using a cone/mist spray fire from 6 to 10 feet.
