My journey in the self-defense industry started in the 90s. In all that time this is the one product I personally keep in my home for my family. Not the keychain canister. Not the pocket model. This one. The Wildfire 16 ounce crowd control pepper spray with pistol grip.
People call it the shotgun of pepper sprays. Others call it the fire extinguisher. Both descriptions are accurate. When you pull that pin and squeeze that trigger it releases a loud hissing fog that fills an area fast. You do not need perfect aim. You do not need to be a trained professional. You point it in the direction of the threat and the fog does the work.
The pistol grip handle makes a real difference. A standard canister in your hand under stress is hard to control. The pistol grip gives you something to hold onto. It keeps the can stable when your hands are shaking and your heart is pounding.
This is built for situations where a small canister is not enough. A break-in attempt. Someone forcing a door. A threatening situation at your business. A large aggressive dog. Any scenario where you need to contaminate an area fast and create distance between you and a threat.
The formula is Wildfire 1.4% Major Capsaicinoids — that is the maximum strength allowed by law for civilians. Two million Scoville Heat Units. It causes immediate burning, coughing, and involuntary eye closure. It gives you time to escape, lock a door, or call 911.
The pull pin safety prevents accidental discharge. Remove the pin when you need it. Until then it stays locked.

Crowd Control Pepper Spray — Frequently Asked Questions
Can civilians buy this?
Yes. This is legal for civilian purchase in most states. Always check your local and state laws before ordering. Our Pepper Spray Laws by State guide covers every state.
How far does it spray?
Up to 20 feet. The fogger pattern spreads wide so you do not need precise aim. Point it toward the threat and the fog covers the area.
How many times can I use it?
Approximately 75 one second bursts. This is not a practice tool. Get a practice inert canister for training.
Is this the strongest pepper spray you carry?
Yes. The Wildfire 1.4% MC formula is the maximum strength allowed by law for civilians. The only thing stronger is bear spray which is formulated for wildlife not humans.
What is the pull pin safety for?

I do security at these apartments here in Dallas and there are times I get approached by multiple people up to no good and my taser only has one shot. I used this before and it works great.
