The Pepper Shot keychain pepper spray is a half ounce stream spray with a belt clip, locking actuator, and quick release keychain. Its small size gives you two simple ways to carry it without adding a large case or holster.
Must be 18+ to purchase and legally allowed to own this item where you live.
How Far Does This Pepper Shot Keychain Pepper Spray Reach?
The manufacturer listed range is 6 to 8 feet. The half ounce canister provides 6 to 10 one second bursts. It uses a stream pattern, which keeps the spray more focused than a wide fog pattern.
Wind, rain, distance, and movement can change where the stream lands. Stay aware of the wind and keep as much distance as the situation allows.
How Does the Quick Release Keychain Work?
The quick release lets you separate the pepper spray from your keyring without removing all your keys. The belt clip gives you another way to carry it on a belt or waistband.
Practice removing the canister from the keyring before carrying it. Keep the actuator locked while handling or storing the spray.
What Does the Locking Actuator Do?
The locking actuator helps reduce the chance of accidentally pressing the spray button. You still need to handle the canister carefully and check that it is locked before carrying or storing it.
What Does 1.2% MC Mean?
MC stands for major capsaicinoids, which are the compounds that create the heat in pepper spray. This formula contains 1.2% major capsaicinoids. The number describes the formula strength, but it does not promise how every person will react.
The formula also contains UV identifying dye. The dye may help with later identification when viewed with the proper UV equipment.

A Small Spray With Two Carry Options
This model makes sense when you want a small pepper spray that can attach to your keys or clip onto a belt. I have worked around pepper spray and personal safety products since the early 90s, and simple carry options like these matter when you need the product within reach.

Bought this for my niece who goes to college. She said it makes her feel more confident on campus walking to her car at night.
