Mace Pocket Model Pepper Spray Black 12 Gram – OC Formula with UV Marking Dye, 10 Feet Stream Range, Flip-Top Safety Cap, Finger-Grip Dispenser, Keychain Included, Compact Palm Size, Made in USA

The Smallest Mace You Can Carry — And That’s the Point

The best self-defense tool is the one you actually have with you. That sounds obvious, but it’s the reason pocket-size sprays exist. Larger canisters offer more capacity and range, but they also get left in glove boxes, bottom-of-bag purgatory, or kitchen drawers. The Pocket model is small enough that there’s no excuse not to carry it.

It won’t give you 20 bursts. It won’t reach 15 feet. What it will do is put effective OC pepper spray in your hand when you need it, because it was small enough to actually be there.

Who This Pepper Spray Is For

People who carry small bags, clutches, or no bag at all. Anyone whose daily wardrobe doesn’t accommodate a larger canister — think dress clothes, athletic wear, or going-out outfits. People who want pepper spray on their keychain without it feeling like they’re carrying a flashlight.

It’s also a practical backup option for people who carry a larger spray in a bag but want something directly on their keys for situations where the bag isn’t within reach.

Small Size, Same Chemistry

The OC formula inside this canister is the same pepper-based formulation Mace uses across its personal defense line. It causes involuntary eye closure, intense burning of the skin and mucous membranes, coughing, and temporary respiratory difficulty. These effects are physiological — they happen regardless of the person’s pain tolerance or state of mind. The UV marking dye is mixed into the formula and leaves an invisible residue on skin and clothing that’s detectable under black light for days afterward.

The stream spray pattern gives you directional control at distances up to 10 feet. In a real situation, that’s roughly the distance across a standard room or the length of a car. The finger-grip dispenser is shaped so your fingers naturally orient the canister with the nozzle pointed forward — important in low light or high stress when you’re not looking at what’s in your hand. The flip-top safety cap sits flat until you push it open with your thumb, which takes about half a second of deliberate action.

Practical Details

The canister contains 0.42 oz (12 grams) of OC formula with UV dye. Dimensions are approximately 3.25 inches tall by 1 inch wide — genuinely palm-sized. Weight is 0.17 lbs. Includes a ball keychain for attachment. Stream spray pattern. Flip-top safety cap. Finger-grip dispenser. Made in the USA by Mace. Backed by a 1-year warranty on canister and nozzle. Available in black for discreet carry. Verify local and state regulations before purchase.

The Pocket model doesn’t try to be everything. It tries to be small enough that you’ll carry it — and effective enough that carrying it matters. That’s a reasonable trade-off for a lot of people.
