for information about changes to Defender product names and packaging
Unlike common throwaway aerosol can defense products, ASP Defenders are highly-engineered dispersion devices that use a proprietary, replaceable OC (Oleoresin Capsicum) Insert. These Inserts are precision-machined from aerospace aluminum and solid brass, and incorporate a specially-produced valve system and patented dispensing mechanism. The entire unit is O-ring sealed.
One of the benefits of this component-based system is that it facilitates safe training, using our Test Inserts, which contain a harmless, inert aerosol. We highly recommend using them and practicing with your ASP Defender before carrying it with the active D1 Insert installed.
This Insert is compatible with ASP Metro D1 Defenders and Sport D1 Defenders, and contains approximately six 1/2-second bursts.
