Pepper Shot 4 oz Pepper Spray – 1.2% MC, 13–18 ft Range

When a small keychain canister isn’t enough, you want something with more capacity behind it. The Pepper Shot 4 oz Pepper Spray holds more formula, delivers more bursts, and gives you real reach — up to 18 feet depending on the spray pattern you choose. It’s a straightforward, reliable option for people who want a pepper spray they won’t outrun in a bad situation.

Who This Pepper Spray Is For

This one fits people who carry daily and want the reassurance of a larger supply. Think of the nurse walking to her car after a night shift, the college student who lives off campus and walks a lot, the runner who goes out before sunrise, or the property manager doing rounds alone. It also works well at home — kept in a drawer, a nightstand, or near a door. If you want something between a pocket-sized keychain spray and a full law enforcement canister, this is a logical fit.

Is It the Right Fit for You?

Choose It If You Want

• A 4 oz canister with 18–20 one-second bursts — more than most smaller sprays carry
• A choice between stream (focused, longer reach) or fogger (wider coverage) delivery
• Flip-top or locking actuator safety so you control when it fires
• UV dye included to help identify an attacker after the fact

Consider Another Option If You Need

• A pocket or keychain size — this 4 oz canister is larger and better suited to a bag or holster
• A gel formula to reduce blowback risk in tight indoor spaces
• A combination device with a personal alarm or stun function built in

Pepper Shot 4 oz Pepper Spray Features and Benefits

• 1.2% Major Capsaicinoids: This is the actual measurement that matters — not just Scoville units alone. At 1.2% MC and 2 million Scoville heat units, the formula is potent and consistent.
• 18–20 One-Second Bursts: More sprays mean more chances to stop a threat and more capacity if you need follow-up. Most situations don’t require 18 bursts, but you’ll have them.
• Stream or Fogger Pattern: Stream reaches 13–15 feet with a focused stream; fogger disperses wider and reaches 15–18 feet. Pick the pattern that fits how and where you carry.
• Flip-Top or Locking Actuator Safety: Both options prevent accidental discharge. Choose based on which safety style feels more natural in your hand under pressure.
• UV Dye: Invisible under normal light, the dye marks anyone you spray and can help law enforcement identify them later.
• 4 oz Canister Size: Large enough to feel substantial in hand, better suited to a bag, purse, or belt holster than a pocket.
• Pepper Shot Brand: A consistent, established brand in the non-lethal self-defense space with a straightforward formula and reliable delivery.

Care and What’s Included

What’s in the Box

• Pepper Shot 4 oz Pepper Spray canister (stream or fogger, your choice)
• UV dye included in the formula

Care and Storage

Store the canister away from heat and direct sunlight. Don’t leave it in a hot car. Check it periodically to confirm the safety is engaged and the nozzle is clear. Most pepper sprays have a shelf life of 2–4 years — check the expiration date on your canister and replace it before it expires.

Legal Notes

Pepper spray is legal to purchase and carry in most U.S. states, but some states, cities, and locations have restrictions on canister size, formula strength, or who may carry. A 4 oz canister may be subject to different rules than smaller sizes in certain jurisdictions. Check your state and local laws before buying or carrying.

Pepper Shot 4 oz Pepper Spray: Frequently Asked Questions

How strong is the Pepper Shot 4 oz Pepper Spray?

It’s formulated at 1.2% major capsaicinoids and rated at 2 million Scoville heat units. Major capsaicinoids are considered a more precise measure of a pepper spray’s potency than Scoville units alone, and 1.2% MC is a meaningful concentration for a defensive spray.

What’s the difference between the stream and fogger versions?

The stream pattern reaches 13–15 feet and delivers a focused spray, which reduces wind blowback and keeps the formula on target. The fogger disperses over a wider area and reaches 15–18 feet, which can be useful if you’re dealing with more than one person or need wider coverage quickly. Choose based on where you’re most likely to use it.

How many times can I spray the Pepper Shot 4 oz Pepper Spray before it’s empty?

You get 18–20 one-second bursts from a full canister. That’s significantly more than most compact or keychain-sized sprays. In a real defensive situation you’ll likely use only a few, but having that reserve matters if you need it — or if you want to practice your draw and aim before relying on it.

Is pepper spray legal where I live?

Pepper spray is permitted in most U.S. states, but regulations vary. Some states limit canister size, concentration, or buyer age. Local ordinances can add further restrictions. Always verify your state and local laws before purchasing or carrying any pepper spray, including this one.
