POMPepper 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!

Perfect size and form factor for every day carry. I have thankfully not had to use it yet but, it is very easy to carry in a pocket with the integrated clip which keeps it clipped inside a pocket for easy deployment with no real concern for accidental activation. The three pack at a good price was the right option to be able to keep them in multiple places to always have one available to grab and go.

I received my POM oc 16 days ago. I was put in a situation nearly 24 hours ago where the POM oc had to be nearly completely emptied, utilized to its fullest to stop an aggressive man. This man was clearly aggressive but being put in the situation I was in, where I must be there and being 17 and this man claiming he is 40, it wasn't really the best situation for me. Though I am a tall and fairly well built he was also tall and it limited my options with my skill set. I wanted to keep it a calm discussion but he pushed me and kept advancing resulting in a direct shot to his eyes for a solid 3/4 second. He kept advancing on me and actually made it to my car which I was planning on using as a means to escape the direct threat. However, with the window being down and not wanting to take the time to attempt to roll it back up, he did manage to throw it back in park before it started to take effect. Though, according to 2 videos of the encounter, this was less than 10 seconds from the time he is hit to the time he is nearly instantly put down from this very angry aggressive, adrelialine infused mindset, to just wanting the pain to stop. Thought 10 or so seconds is a considerable amount of time, I didn't use it as soon as I should have. Resulting in him making it to my vehicle before it took affect. Investigating officers said had I used it when he "postured", he would not have been even close to making it to my vehicle avoiding him being able to actually put his hands inside the drivers compartment. I do have to thank its design though. It stays in your pocket clipped in, and I practiced my draw so I was competent with it. I was able to draw it, and deploy it in a solid single motion without thinking about it, which is great because I think I was too stressed to be able to think about it. Great design and as long as you understand when you should use it, and how it works you should be golden. I had never sprayed it or even showed it to stop a threat or even test it. I only practiced my draw. First time getting it out and first time using it at the same time. Still crazy to think about. If anyone says it is weak or has poor range....boy are they wrong. Even after using it for maybe about 12 seconds or so (between the first spray and while in my vehicle) and cops actually had to keep it as evidence so they sprayed it and it went about 10-15 feet, it was hard to tell due to lights and stuff. But considering it wasn't close to full I think that is more than respectable and this was actually angled against the wind. Plenty of things I have learned from a real life defensive use encounter that will only advance my skills. People can judge it based on the amount it carries, the stream it sprays, and the distance it sprays. But until they actually need it and it works flawlessly like it did for me. I really just have to say their opinion doesn't matter. What matters is that assuming you know how it works, you will get a perfect result and that is, at the end of the day, what you're probably looking for. Absolutely recommend to everyone.
