^This^Sabre products have an expiration date on the canister.

Use expired canisters for practice.
I'd appreciate that.Wife already took off, don’t know the brand name of hers. I buy it at a LGS that is/was owned by a cop, does a lot of cop business, I can look at it again for the name. I’m guessing that LEO,s get theirs from supply sargent.
POM is one of the top recommended brands by self defense trainers, FWIW. It is what I get for my wife and daughter. (and me)I'm thinking about buying some for my loved ones. Lgs had POM on hand is that a good brand?
Just be aware the gel tends to take longer to take effect and have an impact. It's thicker so it doesn't get into the eyes and nose as easily as the spray.OK, wife’s is also Saber red gel, exp. 9-2024. Think I like the dye and it’s a gel.
Probably get a new one anyway as said it’s not expensive and a good stocking stuffer.
Thanks folks
OK, I don’t have any experience or knowledge of the sprays or jell for that matter. But I do want my wife to have the best chance of defense she can have. Your thoughts give me something to consider, thanks. Guess I was thinking the jell would adhere, smear and dye the bad guy. Sure wish she could carry, just not an option. I think their are a couple bills coming up, possibly introduced, maybe a change in laws. That would work for me.Just be aware the gel tends to take longer to take effect and have an impact.

I'm personally not a fan, but my real world experience with being spray or spraying others is pretty limited, so my opinion is worth about what you paid for it.
Maybe not a totally crazy idea testing it on oneself, at least once?Just be aware the gel tends to take longer to take effect and have an impact. It's thicker so it doesn't get into the eyes and nose as easily as the spray.

Is the brand out of business?Maybe not a totally crazy idea testing it on oneself, at least once?
Funny story: I’m in the driveway cleaning out the car, all doors open, two of my kids are crawling in and out of it. Then they start a game spraying each other with something. I take it out of their hands — and fudge, it’s the pepper spray from the armrest! They have it all over themselves, but no screaming. So I spray it on my finger, touch it to the tip of my tongue — nothing, maybe the lightest of tingles, like “mild” Thai curry.
Next day I walk into the LGS that sold it to me. Take out the can, spray it in my mouth, smile. When the owner regains his speech, refund, pulls the spray off his shelf.

Well…..hopefully we can get our state legislators to make some changes and get shed of some of these GFZ’s. Seems like (to me) a good all around solution.I just checked my issued OC can and it was manufactured in 2005.
