The world we live in can be a scary place and there certainly are dangers to your safety. It’s becoming increasingly more important to have something that can protect you or buy you some time. If you are like me, someone who has never fired a weapon before and who gets a little anxiety carrying one around, perhaps it’s time for you to consider getting yourself or your loved ones Metro Defender pepper spray.

Pepper spray is a perfect balance between protecting yourself effectively and being easy- to- use-anywhere properties. Metro Defender D1/D2 Pepper Spray from Armament Systems and Procedures (ASP) produces a high-quality pepper spray that far surpasses the run-of-the-mill pepper sprays currently on the market. There is a good reason for this. The easy-to-use canister works differently than what you may be accustomed to. Instead of a vertical canister, a unique feature of D1/D2 Pepper Spray canisters are meant to be fired while holding it horizontally. This allows the user to aim more comfortably and precisely and to be able to deal with the threat faster than before. The D1/D2 Canisters from ASP are also made of aerospace grade aluminum, making it one of the lightest, toughest spray canisters on the market. With this type of casing, it would prove to be very difficult to dent or break the canister. One of my personal favorite features is the micro-knurled grip that is ingrained into the aluminum. This makes it easier to grab and grip, especially in most situations with pepper spray since you need to be fast and mistakes like dropping the canister could prove to be a dangerous situation.

Since the product is small, it makes it incredibly easy to take it almost everywhere with you. At just 5.75 inches long and a weight of only 2 ounces, this product is easy to carry. Besides being able to tuck the pepper spray in a pocket or purse, there is another useful feature for this product which includes a keychain. Another good feature of the Metro Defender is It’s possible to carry it anywhere– not only because of its size, but also because there is a built-in safety. A simple lock keeps the device from misfiring while stowed away and an O-ring dispersal port keeps the pepper spray from leaking into unwanted areas. All out of spray? No problem. Metro Defender D1/D2 also produces the spray that is used. Police grade Oleoresin Capsicum irritant is easily inserted into the canister by screwing of the top and simply placing it inside. This spray will be able to disable any person who threatens you. Metro Defender D1/D2 created a high-quality design to customize your D1/D2 Pepper Spray. When shopping, you will be able to find them in colors such as red, blue, black, grey/chrome, purple and gold. When ordering from their online website, you can also get a custom laser engraving on the top of your pepper spray canister, allowing to truly make it yours and something that you treasure.

Metro Defender from ASP offers a product that is safe and easy and effective to use. For the price of $39.00 retail (call for wholesale pricing) this product is built to last a lifetime. I found that I would be hard pressed to find a pepper spray product as good as this one. The fact that you are able to change the spray yourself when you run out and the engraving were some of my own favorite features that they offer. Whether it be because of the different sizes or its innovative way of dispersing the spray horizontally, there are many reasons why you should choose Metro Defender from ASP when protecting yourself.
