P2P HDP 50 Prepared 2 Protect Less Lethal Home Defense .50 Caliber Pepper Round Air Pistol

quality product and packaging - feels solid and balanced in-hand - easy to load and fire - i bought nylon balls to train and they are very effective and re-usable - gun makes a fairly loud bang when firing and the impact is impressive, accuracy is good - got 3 magazines from one co2 and power was well maintained through the first 2 - this is apparently the 13 joule version according to the Umarex site, packaging and experience which makes it a great deal - it's slightly big for carry and conceal but doable - the product listing should make it clear its a Umarex as this is evident on the packaging and the gun itself

I'm inpressed with the power and the accuracy of this weapon. It is a great choice for a non-lethal self-defense weapon. The tap to activate the CO2 cartridge is ingenious. It's easily done. Which means you have a fresh CO2 cartridge when you need it the most. If you need a device like this it's an awesome choice.

A better solution for home protection

Very powerful non-leathal self defense tool. Not a toy ... high quality build and materials. Great for defense against aggressive dogs.

First one leaked bad, sent it back. Replacement showed up 4 days later. I think it is an ok value for the price. However, Trigger pull is horrible. Magazine holds 6 rounds, I was testing with aluminum round ball weighing 42 grains. I was getting 20 shots per co2 charge on a 60 degree day and low humidity. Chronograph read 332fps for the first 4 rounds, then went down to 220fps on the last shot. (Packaging claims 485fps, this is a 153fps difference) I shot 50 rounds over the chronograph, each session had same results. Grouping was about 6” at 20’. Had a few times the trigger would not reset, a smack along the side helped. For a less than lethal deterrent , I would not rely on this, I think the Umerex .68 revolver is a more reliable option. There are less than lethal 12 guage shotgun rounds that are a good solution for home defense that deliver a lot more ‘deterrent’. Update: after about 75 rounds the gun began leaking again. All co2 expelled within a few seconds Now will not function at all now that return window has expired

In a side by side comparison between the P2P HDP 50 and the Byrna C series (I own them both), These are the results: 1) .50 caliber round travels faster and hits harder than the .68 caliber offered by a well known competitor brand. 2) 12 Grams CO2 carts last longer than the competitors 8 Gram offerings. 12 Gram carts are the industry standard and easy to find just about anywhere. 3) Easy, light, and Consistent trigger pull from first to last shot as, energizing the CO2 cartridge is done by tapping the butt of the launcher. Excellent for elderly people and those with limited strength. 4) Fast target acquisition due to built in, high visability fiber optics. 5) Priced at a fraction of the more well-known, Less-than-lethal offerings from other manufacturers. 6) Well balanced and smooth operation. Don't pay for over-priced equipment. THIS P2P HDP 50 is hands-down, the best Less than Lethal launcher available.

Great for self defense loud and powerful way more than I would have thought

Very powerful and feels good in the hand. Looks like a toy but is not. I would not want to be shot by this gun with any round coming out of it. I use 50 cal aluminum rounds at 20 feet putting holes in tin sheet metal. Had a problem with air leakage at first but gunoil on the co2 took care of it. Safety on the trigger so it's safe around kids. Highly recommend
