Pepper Shot 2 oz pepper spray is a compact pepper spray for adults who want more capacity than a keychain canister without carrying a large crowd control spray. Choose a standard stream, flip top stream, or wider fogger. Each option includes a leatherette belt holster.
Which Pepper Shot 2 oz Pepper Spray Should You Choose?
Your best choice depends on the spray pattern and safety style you prefer. All three options contain the same Pepper Shot formula, but they release it differently.
- Standard stream: Sends the formula in a focused line and uses a locking actuator.
- Flip top stream: Sends the same focused stream and has a hinged cover over the spray button.
- Fogger: Releases a wider spray pattern and uses a locking actuator.
A stream requires more careful aim, but its focused pattern may reduce drift compared with a fogger. A fogger covers a wider area, but wind can move the spray toward you, nearby people, or animals.
Who May Find This 2 Ounce Pepper Spray Useful?
This 2 ounce pepper spray may fit adults who want a small can of pepper spray for walking, commuting, working late hours, or keeping in an easy to reach place at home.
It is larger than most keychain sprays but smaller than the large pepper spray canisters made for crowd control. The included belt holster gives you another option besides placing the canister loose inside a pocket or bag.

How Should You Carry and Handle It?
Learn how your selected actuator works before carrying the spray. The locking actuator must be moved into the correct position before pressing. The flip top version requires you to lift the cover before reaching the spray button.
Keep the nozzle pointed away from your face and body. Do not leave the canister where another object could press against the actuator. Avoid spraying it inside a closed room unless you are responding to an immediate threat since the formula can affect everyone in the area.
How Should You Check and Replace the Canister?
Check the expiration date printed on the can when it arrives. Set a phone or calendar reminder so you can replace the pepper spray before that date.
Inspect the canister from time to time. Replace it immediately if it leaks or if the can, nozzle, actuator, flip top, or safety is damaged.
Store it away from children, heat, flames, and direct sunlight. Read the product label and learn how your selected spray style works before keeping it for an emergency.
What Are the Limits of This Pepper Spray?
No pepper spray can promise the outcome of an encounter. Wind, distance, aim, movement, and the person involved can affect what happens.
The UV dye may help with later identification under ultraviolet light. It does not guarantee that a person will be identified or arrested.
This is personal pepper spray. It is not bear spray and should not be purchased for bear encounters.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this considered a large can of pepper spray?
No. This is a mid sized personal pepper spray canister. It offers more capacity than a keychain spray but is much smaller than a 9 ounce or one pound crowd control canister.
What is the difference between the two stream choices?
Both release a focused stream. The difference is the safety design. One uses a locking actuator, while the other places a flip top cover over the spray button.
Does the belt holster come with it?
Yes. The current manufacturer listing includes a leatherette belt holster with each option.
Can this pepper spray be refilled?
No refill information is provided for this product. Replace the entire canister before its printed expiration date or immediately after finding a leak or damaged part.
Is Pepper Shot 2 oz Pepper Spray Right for You?
This Pepper Shot spray may fit you if a keychain model feels too small and a large crowd control canister feels too bulky. Choose the stream, flip top stream, or fogger that matches how you plan to carry it.
