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

This pocket-friendly pepper spray with a clip has been great to have on hand for wild dogs that roam our neighborhood. Most of the time, just carrying myself confidently is enough to make them stop charging and back off. It gives me peace of mind knowing I have a less-lethal option if needed. The housing design is smart because the clip pivots, allowing you to carry it in whatever orientation works best. With a little practice, I found it works best to keep it in my pocket with the nozzle facing outward so when I retrieve it, my thumb naturally slides under the safety flap and I’m ready. I’ve only had to spray it once at a dog that ignored verbal commands. The spray distance is around 10 feet. It didn’t actually make contact because the dog turned and ran as soon as it saw the spray, so I can’t speak to how intense it is, but it did exactly what I needed and kept my family safe, and I will update this review if anything changes!

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!

Small, powerful and easy to conceal. Won't set off metal detectors. Great if you work in a place where you aren't able to carry lethal options.

Didn,t have to use it ,thank God ,but gave one a squirt to try and looks good.

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.

This is probably my 10th POM Pepper Spray Pocket Clip purchase. I think these things are amazing and due to their size and cost I think everyone, especially woman, should own a few of these. I make sure my wife, mother and kids have them at all times. There are so many crazy people in today's society this items should be part of your daily carry. Highly recommend!

Previous versions of this product had a slide lock for the button which would often turn off in my pocket but the newest design comes with a flip up hinged plate that is way easier to operate. The pocket clip is probably the best improvement though. Just slide it onto the edge of one of my pockets everyday and go. It hasn't come loose or fallen off yet but just in case I order the ones with the brightly colored bands so its easy to see if I ever did happen to drop it. Luckily I haven't had to use it but it is a nice backup plan should I need it. Pretty confident in its effectiveness as its been demonstrated by John on the Active Self Protection channel.
