The New Kimber Guardian
The new Kimber Guardian Angel pepper spray is no longer called the Life-Act or Guardian Angel. We’re now on the 3rd installment of the device and I agree with all of the modifications. My initial response to the device was that it was expensive, but then I realized that it actually lasts longer than any of the bottle sprays I own and it points easier, and has a trigger. The original design fit my hands fine, but for anyone with smaller hands, it was a little too big and it had a slippery plastic feel to it. I have several friends that have taken grip tape that skateboarders use on theirs and it worked well, but why didn’t Kimber do something like this?
The new Kimber device is called the Kimber Pepper Blaster II. This is a radically new pepper spray design that is still a 2 shot device but it will look at feel like a small firearm and this actually comes with sights. The previous design was used with a funky hand hold that was very goofy and somewhat unrealistically deployed. Why not just put sights on the gun? Well, now they did, and the only thing I can think of that would be a drawback would be that it might snag where the previous design fit very well into a pocket. My Eotac Style 205 jeans and the Style 204 canvas designs had a side pocket that I could keep the guns in and they always pointed down and never would snag.
