Digital camera reviews of Spitfire Brand Personal Defense Pepper Spray - 4.5 grams (black dispenser)
Digital camera Review: Love having it, ordering a second one now
Summary: 5 Stars
I've never had to use it, but it's a small shape with a point at the end and it fits nicely in my pocket, about the size of a cigarette lighter or a lipstick. Its never gone off. I often go into the city at night and there are some areas that make me feel uncomfortable walking in at night, and I just hold on to it with my finger ready to go as I walk, I feel so much safer with it.
I'm ordering a second one now for a trip I'm taking.
In the past few years know of 2 people who were attacked walking around at night, and didn't have anything to defend themselves. Why wouldn't you want *something* to defend yourself and get away.
Worth every penny.
Digital camera Review: Most Convenient Pepper Spray Ever!
Summary: 4 Stars
I was in the market for a pepper spray that easily fit around a keychain. Well, the problem was that most were too bulky to fit into my pocket and it just looked awkward. This pepper spray is small and just fits great on a keychain. The best part is that the end snaps off,so your keys can be ignition and a quick pull will disconnect the spray and can be used if someone tries to carjack you.
I had to give it 4 stars because it does not spray "cone-like" and not at an 8 feet distance. I test sprayed it with 0 wind and it came out like a cloud and the range was maybe five feet at the most. You may want to adjust for these shortcomings just in case you have to use it defensively.
Digital camera Review: Order a practice canister
Summary: 3 Stars
I purchased the gift pack which consists of live pepper spray and dispenser along with an inert practice unit. I liked the design which allows it to be sprayed at any angle as opposed to standard designs which are like aerosol spray cans with the nozzle on the top. This is supposed to allow you to fire Spitfire from the hip. I tried this at the park with the inert canister and was shocked at how little range this had. I think trying to spray this from the hip at an attacker in front of me hoping to hit their face would fail. It might be useful if you hold the dispenser right over their eyes but that's too close.
I e-mailed spitfire asking if the inert practice unit replicates the real thing as far as spray pattern and got no response.
I'll be carrying something like Fox Labs since spitfire doesn't inspire confidence at least for stand off range. I don't want an attacker so close when I need to use the spray. Spitfire says most attackers occur within three feet. I'm not even sure this spray will reach that far.
Please if you purchase Spitfire also purchase a practice inert test canister to make sure you don't get a surprise at how close you need to be to use it.

Summary: 5 Stars
Gave this to my son at college, there were some issues around campus. He was coming home from a night class when he was approached by a drunk man who demanded his wallet. My son had this in his hand as he was walking back to him dorm. A quick point and spray, and the drunk was down for the count. My son got away and campus security caught the guy shortly after. Turned out this was the same guy was giving trouble to many people. Thank you, thank you, thank you
