Pepper Shot 4 oz Pepper Spray – Stream, 1.2% MC, UV Dye

Most pepper sprays people keep in their bag have five or six bursts in them. That’s fine for a keychain. It’s not enough if you’re a security guard managing a parking structure at midnight, or someone who wants a canister at the door rather than just on their person. The Pepper Shot 4 oz Pepper Spray is built around a different premise: more formula, more range, more margin for real-world deployment.

Who This Pepper Spray Is For

This is the right canister for security professionals who carry on the job, property managers who want something accessible at a desk or entry point, and anyone whose daily routine puts them in situations with genuine risk. The 4 oz size makes it a poor choice for pocket carry — it’s a purse, bag, or holster option. If you walk a lot of ground or want a canister at home or in a vehicle rather than clipped to a keychain, this is the right scale.

Is It the Right Fit for You?

Choose It If You Want

• 18–20 one-second bursts from a single canister
• A stream pattern that reaches 13–15 feet with reduced blowback risk
• 1.2% Major Capsaicinoids — a serious active-ingredient concentration
• UV dye that marks an attacker for later identification

Consider Another Option If You Need

• Something small enough for a front pocket or keychain clip
• A gel formula for tight indoor spaces with no wind consideration
• A fogger pattern for wide-arc coverage rather than targeted stream delivery

Pepper Shot 4 oz Pepper Spray Features and Benefits

• 1.2% Major Capsaicinoids: MC percentage is the direct measure of active irritant concentration — this formula rates at 1.2% MC and 2 million Scoville Heat Units.
• Stream pattern, 13–15 foot range: Stream delivery travels farther than cone or fogger patterns and keeps the formula directional, which matters in any situation where wind is a factor.
• 18–20 one-second bursts: A single canister gives you multiple deployment opportunities. You’re not relying on one shot.
• UV dye included: The formula contains an invisible UV-reactive dye that marks skin and clothing, aiding police identification after the fact.
• Flip-top safety actuator: The cap prevents accidental discharge during carry while staying fast enough to clear under stress.
• 4 oz canister size: More formula than a keychain unit without moving into the large or industrial range. Practical for bag, vehicle, or fixed-point storage.
• Locking actuator: Secondary safety mechanism adds carry confidence for professionals wearing it on a belt or vest.

Care and What’s Included

What’s in the Box

Each order includes one Pepper Shot 4 oz Pepper Spray canister with flip-top safety actuator and UV dye formula. The canister is ready to carry as delivered.

Care and Storage

Store in a cool, dry location away from heat sources and direct sunlight. Pepper spray degrades over time — replace the canister on a regular schedule and check the expiration date printed on the unit. Avoid storing in a hot vehicle for extended periods.

Legal Notes

Pepper spray is legal to own and carry in most US states, but some states, cities, and jurisdictions impose age restrictions, concentration limits, or size restrictions. Laws change. Check your local and state regulations before purchasing or carrying.

Pepper Shot 4 oz Pepper Spray: Frequently Asked Questions

What does 1.2% Major Capsaicinoids mean, and why does it matter?

Major Capsaicinoids — MC — is the direct measurement of the active irritant compounds in a pepper spray formula. It’s a more precise indicator of potency than OC percentage alone, which measures the raw pepper extract rather than the active fraction within it. At 1.2% MC and 2 million Scoville Heat Units, this formula is on the serious end of what’s available for personal carry.

How far does the Pepper Shot 4 oz Pepper Spray reach?

The stream pattern delivers effective range of 13–15 feet. Stream delivery is more directional than a cone or fogger, which means better accuracy at distance and less risk of blowback in moderate wind. It does require you to aim more deliberately than a wide-pattern spray.

How many times can I spray before the canister is empty?

The canister provides 18–20 one-second bursts. That gives you significant margin for multiple engagements or situations where one deployment isn’t enough. For reference, most keychain-size canisters offer five to eight bursts total.

Is this the same formula available in a fogger pattern?

The Pepper Shot line is available in both stream and fogger patterns in the 4 oz size. The stream pattern in this listing provides the 13–15 foot range and directional delivery. A fogger disperses formula in a wider arc at closer range, which suits different environments. Choose based on where and how you’re likely to use it.

Add This Pepper Spray to Your Carry or Home Setup

The 4 oz size positions this canister between a keychain unit and a full tactical canister — enough formula to matter, manageable enough for a bag or fixed location. Select your preferred pattern and add it to your cart.
