Can anyone suggest online dealers of Fox Labs pepper spray?
By the way, is there another brand of pepper spray that is better recommended? (I’m also looking for a car-safe pepper spray that can withstand the summer heat. I don’t know if regular cans are safe for that kind of heat.)
Thanks for any help.
Uh, thanks, but I was hoping to find some recommended ones.
Thanks for the info.
I have been a fan of Fox spray for a long time. I recently had reason to change my opinion completely.
I had more than a dozen old or out of date canisters of Fox dating from late 1990s to 2006. These had been stored indoors at normal temperatures or carried in a coat pocket. When I attempted to discharge the contents prior to disposal most of them had lost their pressure - not contents just pressure. Some had never been fired before I tested them.
I had some other brands of various vintages and most were in much better shape than the Fox. The best was an old MKIII Aerko. It was from 1994 and still worked fine. The Saber Red from 2005 also worked properly.
From now on I will only use Saber Red and Aerko with the “burst nozzle”. What good is “super spray” if it won’t come out of the can?
I’ve hit more people with the can itself than I’ve sprayed lol:rolleyes: The ppl I have sprayed it just seems to piss them off and I still end up going hands on anyways…but now I’m all snotty. In the jail it worked great, they would curl up into a little ball and scream. But when I tried it on suspects in the ‘real world’, not so good. I think it’s b/c in the jail, once they got sprayed, they knew 30 Deps were running down the hall to “help out”. But outside, they are literally fighting for their freedom… We carry Freeze +P, and heard it’s not the best. But I’m worried about changing b/c of liability reasons and my dept not backing us…
I get Fox from shootersvault a local AZ store
I have to get a few extra cans to try out 
and see how it works since I have a few might be wise to practice with it
so a question do some prefer the cone or the stream and why ?
I got mine mostly for my inlaws and wife to carry when walking the kid
the inlaws are from Canada the wife is also and not a full citizen yet but when she does will take a firearm class
I keep one in the truck here in AZ and so far it has not exploded but now hoping it will work
Why? Are you planning on losing your scary black rifle rights?
Because, you know, none of us would be college students. Or federal employees. Or under 21. Or in a multitude of other situations where we can’t carry a firearm but would still like to have something more than our bare hands.
I remember that some time ago Insights John Holschen wrote that the first priority in a OC choice is ergonomics- getting the nozzle oriented towards the target fast. Thankfully several companies,whose sprays have high Scoville ratings and percentages like ALS or SabreRed, now offer cans
like these:

However they only offer it in stream format. In my (dismal) experience with a charging dog a moving object is VERY hard to hit with an OC stream. Don’t think I could do it in the stress of an attack. Experienced guys like Kelly McCann recommend fog or cone for better hit probability and inhalation as well as using the spray to build a defense “wall” against multiple attackers. While I love the FOX cone pattern, I hate the can design (especially the small ones).
Can’t understand why nobody has combined an ergonomic can with a cone/fog pattern yet. I would gladly give up several shots for being able to hit & getting a good hit fast.
Having been an OC instructor for over 20 years, I’ve tried all of the available brands at one time or another.
The Saber Red is consistently the hottest OC I’ve been hit with. My students and our local bad guys agree.
"Heat"wise I think the Fox is overrated in my experience.
I also like that they have very good QC, and high quality cans and delivery system.
I have literally had other brand canisters fall apart on me.
tpd,
Which are you saying has high QC - Sabre Red or Fox?
Thanks.
I just ordered from these guys… Shipped same day, great prices, and the born on date was 12/2008.
