It is always nice to see your name in a major publication, especially when they are taking a look at your products. Our friends over at Athlon Outdoors recently took a look at our HDP 50 Compact pepper dust ball pistol. In case you need a refresher, the HDP 50 Compact launches .50 caliber solid rubber or dust ammo at 360 FPS. This force will hopefully provide both a kinetic and sensory blast to an attacker via the pepper dust and raw impact from the hit. The writer, Tim Stetzer, says of the HDP 50 Compact has “Simplicity by Design” And this is true. For the HDP to be truly effective as a personal protection option, it has to be simple. Simple things are harder to break. Simple things are easy to use. Simple things just perform.

While women are generally more likely to buy pepper gel pistols compared to men, they’re ideal for anyone who is involved in an active lifestyle or lives in a heavily populated area. These compact devices offer a less-lethal form of self-defense that is easy to use and effective. Their concealability and ease of use especially appeal to women who prioritize personal safety but may not like the idea of a lethal weapon for one reason or another—such as being around children, a friend group who are uncomfortable with firearms, or their employer has an anti-firearm policy.

In an era where personal safety is paramount, non-lethal alternatives to firearms are increasingly in demand. Among these, the Prepared 2 Protect® (P2P) pepper ball launcher has garnered attention as a potential tool for de-escalation. This device, which uses high-velocity projectiles filled with a pepper irritant, aims to provide a safer, effective means of self-defense. This article delves into the effectiveness and efficiency of the P2P pepper ball launcher as a de-escalation device, examining its operational features, practical usability, and potential impact on safety.

What is a transitional space? It’s just a fifty-cent word that describes places like parking lots, hallways, courtyards– any place where you are moving from one location to another. Transitional spaces are places where we are vulnerable to predatory criminals doing their work.

There are several reasons to choose less lethal self-defense options like Prepared2Protect’s HDP 50 and HDP 50 Compact pepper ball-firing pistols.

Perhaps it's an abuse of the term, but chaos theory is the point where stability moves towards instability.  The stable American life is being destabilized more and more each day. Those who have stability are often the targets of such chaotic events such as random attacks. A few years ago, urb...

The Daily Routine and Who Knows It

In general humans give away far too much information to complete strangers.  If you’ve ever traveled by air, you will know ex...

Despite working in the gun industry, one of my biggest passions is for things with wheels. Cars, trucks, 4x4s, tractors, ATV’s, motorcycles– if it rolls via dead dinosaur juice, I am interested in it. Especially if older and in need of a little TLC to bring back to life.

Blanche DuBois in Tennessee Williams’ play A Streetcar Named Desire says, “I’ve always depended on the kindness of strangers.” Is that really a plan for getting by in life? The obvious answer is no. Given the degradation that seems to be going on in American society, the kindness of strangers has been replaced by apathy and voyeurism. At best you can hope, if someone happens to stop by your emergency, they will pull out their phone and start videoing the situation. This might not be the case everywhere, but in urban environments, it is becoming more and more evident that no one is coming to your rescue. Getting by on dumb luck or the kindness of strangers is not a game plan thriving let alone surviving when the punches start to swarm on you.
