Definitive Guide to P2P Secure 68P

The P2P comes in a few different options; the one we'll focus on today is the P2P Secure 68P. This is a .68 caliber, less than lethal option for self-defense. Included with this kit is a soft zip-up case with handles, three 12-gram CO2 cartridges, six rubber rounds, six powder pepperball rounds, and six glass breaker rounds.

The total length of the 68P from front to back is 8.25" and the total weight is 1.4 lbs.

The ambidextrous grip is textured to ensure a controlled grip when firing and houses the six-round spring-loaded magazine.

The button located on the grip and directly behind the trigger guard releases the magazine. The magazine has a locking guide spring to make loading the projectiles easier.

Integrated into the double action response ready trigger is a blade safety to minimize the amount of steps needed in an emergency situation.

In front of the trigger and trigger guard is an accessories rail where a flashlight like the ASG Tactical Light/Laser can be mounted to assist with low-light situations.

Above the accessories rail is the CO2 chamber for a single Umarex 12 gram CO2 Cartridge to be inserted and kept unpunctured until it is needed. The set torque seal technology only pierces the cartridge when the trigger is pulled and fires the first shot.

The smooth bore barrel makes up 4.8 inches of the total length of the 68P.

For aiming assistance the P68 is equipped with fixed fiber optic rear notch sight and front blade sights.

Setup & Operation

To set up and operate the P68, you will need to release the magazine. To release the magazine press the mag release button located on the grip behind the trigger guard on the left side of the pistol. You will need this to unscrew the CO2 compartment cap to expose the CO2 compartment.

On the back side of the magazine is a triangular extrusion which inserts into the CO2 compartment cap and assists in the removal of it.

We recommend loading the CO2 before loading the magazine. Place a drop of RWS Chamber Lube Oil on the top of the CO2 cartridge, then insert top first into the compartment on the P68, and replace the cap by lining up the threads and twisting until it is tight using the tool on the magazine.

To load the magazine pull the guide spring down and lock it in place by pushing it to the right indentation. Next insert the desired round balls into the top opening until full. Unlock the guide spring by pushing it to the left. Next insert the magazine into the mag well of the P68 until it clicks and is locked in.

The safety is in the trigger as well as the ability to puncture the CO2 cartridge. Take aim, line the rear notch sight up with the front blade sight in the center and place on your target, then squeeze the trigger.

Operation of the P2P Secure 68P is extremely simple and safe; it has a trigger that requires intention. It would be difficult to accomplish an accidental fire making this platform safe in many aspects.
