POM Pepper Spray Pocket Clip, Quick Flip Top Safety, Maximum Strength OC Formula with UV Marking Dye, Safe Compact and Tactical Design for Everyday Carry, 25 Bursts, 10 ft Range, 0.5 fl oz

I've never owned pepper spray before, but after coming across a video review on the NRA website and watching the YouTube demonstration, I was sold on this product. What initially caught my attention was that POM Industries has been around for over 45 years and that their pepper spray is made in the United States. However, what really convinced me to purchase it was the compact size and the flip-top firing system. The small size means I can keep it in my pocket at all times without even noticing it's there, and the flip-top design gives me peace of mind that I won’t accidentally trigger it when I’m reaching into my pocket.I bought the three-pack because the price was great, and I figured it couldn’t hurt to have a few extras around. According to the product description, it has the maximum strength allowed by law, a 10-12 foot stream range, and can deliver 12 seconds of continuous spray or up to 20 bursts in shorter intervals. I haven’t had the need to use it yet, but I plan to take one of the canisters to an open field to test it out, just so I’m familiar with how it works. The pocket clip version is especially useful since I can clip it to the inside of my shirt pocket for easy and quick access.After doing some research on other pepper sprays, I’m confident I made the right choice with POM. Their 45 years of experience and the fact that it's made in the U.S. were major factors for me. I’ll likely buy a few more to give as holiday stocking stuffers this year because I think this is a must-have for anyone concerned about personal safety. If you're looking for something compact, reliable, and easy to carry, I highly recommend this product.I hope you found this information helpful!

I’m a small adult female and I like this particular pepper spray bottle because it’s small enough to fit in the palm of my hand, and It’s really light weight. The all-black color is low-profile and doesn’t scream “pepper spray” so I can carry it while on a walk or through a parking lot without looking paranoid. I like that I can clip it to my waist band or to a purse pocket, and it’s tight enough to stay put but easy to pull off quickly if needed. The cap is secure and great for safety (no one wants to pepper spray yourself!) but it’s also easy to bypass for usage. I can get my finger under the cap and on the trigger without a problem. I did a practice spray to see what to expect, and the stream reaches at least ten feet and the trigger doesn’t require much pressure to press. I bought each of my adult daughters one as well!

Used these as part of my edc. Luckily haven't had to use it. It's comfy to wear but it's not the best with clipping onto thinner fabrics and basketball shorts so I would recommend better clip grip. But haven't noticed any leakage. It's perfectly fine being in your pockets even with other items. And over is built well and works well.

Compact and comfortable in front pocket

I have carried these for years, replacing them whenever I lose one (read below) or one expires on me. I spent quite a while researching what you ACTUALLY want in an oc spray, as opposed to what marketers tell you you want. i also carry a pistol daily, but i have found experientially that spray will cover 90% of violent problems that awareness/talking your way out/running won't solve. the gun is something i will use if i have to, but i obviously would prefer not to. the spray falls in this (very large) defensive space between retreat and shoot. this is perfect for several reasons:-good percentage of capsaicin. the hotter the better. this is what you want.-it's a spray, not a gel or a mist. the spray is superior to a hard to aim gel or an easily dispersed/shorter range mist. the 10-15ft squirting spray is most reliable.-all that UV dye crap is BS. you don't need it. i dont even know if this has it; feel free to ignore this marketing gimmick. it's a quaternary concern at MOST when considering a defensive spray.-slim profile. you want it to be as light and easy to carry as possible. not carrying your self defense spray means you don't have it. this is very easy to carry.-user friendly. it's got a safety mechanism thats easy to use and that will prevent NDs while not getting in the way in a defensive situation.-carry clip: the only reason this loses a point is because the clip isn't as robust and snug as a cheap potmetal leafspring clip might be. i understand this is cheaper, so it's really not a big deal. still, the clip has caused me to lose the spray once or twice over five years. not ideal, but superior to a lack of any carry clip. it gives you a solid option for carry, but it could be better.-cost: it's great how cheap it is for this quality-customer service: the carrier lost my order, and the company immediately made it right.I have used many sprays over the years, but for the past five plus years, this is what i have both used and handed out to friends and family. I always test function a new spray before i carry, and I've never once had a lemon from this company (and, again, I've bought a LOT from them).tl;dr This is the optimal OC spray for daily carry, and I believe every person should have one.
