Streetwise 23 Products- A New Level Of Hotness

click for more info

Streetwise brand, a major manufacturer of defensive sprays and other self-defense products, has introduced a new measurement tool that is based on the heat of the pepper once it is sprayed out of the container. The reason this is important is because once the spray comes out of its canister it becomes diluted with air and the propellant used to force it out of the container.

This new measurement tool is called a Certified Heat Rating or CHR. The results come from an independent laboratory so are unbiased. By comparison, most brands tested have an average heat rating of 123,000 SHUs, but the new Streetwise Pepper Spray models have a CHR of 230,000 SHU’s or close to 87% hotter than the competition.

Why is this important? When your life is on the line you want to have a product that is the most effective for the money. So when you’re in the market for an OC spray do your homework, and look for comparisons based on the Certified Heat Ranking instead of just the SHU. The new defensive sprays from Streetwise are the equivalent of 5 million SHU’s making them among of the hottest in the world.

Believe it or not walkers and runners are very susceptible to assaults. Think about it. They usually run in relatively remote areas away from congestion and other people and a lot of runners that I know run at what I consider to be weird times-early a.m. or dusk or later.

There are a lot of products on the market that are designed to help protect them in an assault situation but one of the newest is by Sabre brand called the Runner Spray.

It is a 3/4 ounce container of 10% solution of oleoresin capsicum. It fires a ballistic stream up to 10 feet away and has enough for approximately 35 shots. The ballistic stream is so powerful that it helps reduce wind blow-back. It has a reinforced safety switch that prevents accidental discharge and includes a comfortable and adjustable hand strap. It is available in both pink and black.

It is also very effective against dog attacks.

Sabre brand is noted for its’ increased percentage of Major Capsaicinoids (MC). Many police agencies use a .18% of MC. Saber red is .67% so it is about four times stronger. Can you say OUCH?

Pepper Spray Safety-Safety Tip Of The Week

click for more info

Self defense items have really caught on in the civilian community in the last decade or so. Law enforcement agencies have been using them for more than 50 years to help them in doing their jobs.

They are part of a “continuum of force” that law enforcement agencies use starting with a lawful command all the way up to the deadly force of a handgun. Self defense products provide a less than lethal way to get compliance of a lawful order.

For civilians self defense products are meant to disable an assailant long enough to give you time to get away from a dangerous situation. Pepper sprays are the most popular self defense product in the world. And just an FYI, they are on every police officer’s utility belt. Does that tell you how good they are?

Here are some pepper spray tips on how to use this self defense item safely and properly.

1. First make sure the pepper sprays are legal where you live. They are legal in all 50 states but some cities and states have restrictions on the amount of oleoresin capsicum, which is the main ingredient in all pepper sprays. OC, as it is called, is a derivative of one of the hottest peppers in the world cayenne pepper.

2. Second is to make sure that you know the capabilities of your pepper spray before you try it. Every pepper spray has an expiration date stamped on the bottom of the container. The distance (range) and number of sprays that are in each container are on the packaging. It doesn’t do you any good to have a pepper spray that sprays 8 feet when you’re 15 feet away from your assailant.

3. The third point is to learn how best to grip the pepper spray and how to access the button to activate it. Some sprays have a finger grips on the front so that they can be easily accessed in darkened conditions. Some sprays have flip top safeties others have safeties that slide from right to left. You need to practice with these so that when the time comes, and it will come, your reactions are second nature and can be done in a split-second.

4. Hold your pepper spray in an upright position. There’s only one pepper spray, the Mace Pepper Gun which can be held upside down and still work. It is the best value for long range self defense.

5. And last is to practice using your pepper spray. Wind conditions affect the disbursement of the pepper spray. You can get used to this and it is very important that you know how the wind will affect your pepper spray.

If you have any questions the distributor or dealer that you bought the pepper spray from can answer them. If not you need a new distributor or dealer! Some police departments offer training in pepper spray. If you feel the need some check with your local police department.

Remember pepper sprays can not only be used against human assailants but are first line of defense against dog attacks as well. Bear pepper sprays are a must to carry in the back country and work not only on bears, but mountain lions, coyotes, and just about any animal that you will find in the wild.
