Introducing Reflex Protect
A non-lethal, self-defense tool that empowers individuals to protect themselves while reducing the potential for tragic and permanent consequences arising from the use of lethal force.

A non-lethal, self-defense tool that empowers individuals to protect themselves while reducing the potential for tragic and permanent consequences arising from the use of lethal force.
Revolutionary new design for the deployment of a trusted and highly effective disabling agent, CS gel, heretofore used in tear gas form for riot control by professional security forces.
Intuitive Grab & Shoot™ technology makes Reflex Protect™ extremely easy to use yet highly effective. Just thumb the safety up, aim for the assailant’s face, and pull the trigger.
Temporary blindness, an intense burning sensation, and inflammation of the mucous membranes in the eyes, nose, mouth, and lungs debilitate the attacker, giving you time to escape and get help.
Reflex Protect was created by Steve Mangold and Joe Anderson to provide families with a simpler, more effective, non-lethal self-defense alternative.
Steve, an avid outdoorsman, hunter, former U.S. Army Military Police Officer, and inventor, created the Pistol Style Spray Head™ (PSSH), an accurate and intuitive chemical agent deployment system. Steve secured a patent for the PSSH technology in 2014 and began his search for a business partner.
While working in a law office in San Francisco, Joe experienced a mass shooting. He lost friends and colleagues and decided it was time to change his life trajectory from the corporate path to an entrepreneurial one. Joe joined Steve to help create Reflex Protect, a product that could have saved lives on that tragic day in San Francisco.
Unlike conventional pepper sprays, Reflex Protect™ uses CS Gel, a thickened formula designed to be target specific. It sticks to the skin with little to no side splatter, only affecting sensitive tissues and mucous membranes (e.g. eyes, nose, mouth) and has a fast dissipation rate of about 15 minutes.
Our patented Pistol Style Spray Head is intuitive and easy to use. Just grab and shoot. Reflex Protect™ CS Gel causes an intense burning sensation, tearing of the eyes, and temporary blindness, as well as a burning irritation of the nose, mouth, and throat mucous membranes causing difficulty breathing, nasal discharge, and debilitating disorientation of the subject.
Our patented Pistol Style Spray Head fires a focused stream of debilitating CS Gel with best in class accuracy, eliminating our competitors’ toxic pepper spray cloud that contaminates the air and often hits you as well.
2-chlorobenzalmalononitrile is the defining component of a tear gas commonly referred to as CS gas, frequently used in Europe for riot control and more often by professional security forces than the general public.
