Pepper Shot 1.2% MC 4 oz Pepper Spray – Stream, Flip Top & Fogger, 2 Million SHU, 13-18 Ft Range, UV Dye, Belt Holster Included

More Capacity, Greater Range, Same Proven Formula The 4 oz Pepper Shot is the step up from the 2 oz in every practical measure. You get nearly three times the burst count — 18 to 20 one-second bursts versus 6 to 10 — and the range extends to 13 to 18 feet depending on whether you choose stream or fogger. The formula stays the same: 1.2% Major Capsaicinoids from 2,000,000 SHU raw pepper, the same UV dye, the same proven Pepper Shot blend. What changes is how much you have available and how far it reaches. For home defense, that additional capacity and range is meaningful. You’re not counting bursts the same way you would with a smaller carry canister. This is the version you keep near the door, in the vehicle, or anywhere that having more on hand is the smarter call. Who This Pepper Spray Is For The 4 oz is the right choice when you want a stationary or belt-carry option with extended capacity. Someone who keeps a spray in their vehicle for commuting, a homeowner who wants it accessible near an entry point, or a property manager responsible for a larger space — all of these are practical fits. The 13 to 18 foot range also makes it more useful if you want to maintain more distance between yourself and a threat before deploying. It’s also worth considering for anyone who uses pepper spray in a professional context — security staff, property management, anyone who might face a situation where having more than a few bursts available matters. The belt holster means it can stay on-body throughout a shift without requiring a separate carrying solution. Is This the Right Choice for You? Choose Pepper Shot 4 oz if you want: Maximum capacity — 18-20 bursts for home, vehicle, or professional use Extended range of 13-18 feet depending on spray pattern The same reliable 1.2% MC Pepper Shot formula in a larger canister Spray pattern flexibility — stream, flip top, or fogger Consider something else if you need: Compact everyday carry — the 2 oz or ½ oz keychain size is more practical for pocket or keyring Gel formula for indoor use with minimal blowback risk How It Actually Works Pepper Shot’s 8.5% oleoresin capsicum formula at 1.2% Major Capsaicinoids works by causing the mucous membranes to swell, making breathing labored, and forcing involuntary eye closure as the veins in the eyes swell in response. The onset is fast, the effects are reliable, and they last up to 45 minutes with no permanent damage. That’s enough time to put distance between yourself and the situation. Three spray pattern options give you different coverage profiles. Stream delivers a concentrated, accurate stream with lower blowback risk — a good general-purpose choice. Fogger disperses the formula in a wider cloud pattern, increasing the coverage area at close to mid range, which can be useful when accuracy under stress is a concern. The flip top uses stream delivery with a hinged safety cap that many people find faster to operate than a twist-lock under stress. The extended range of the 4 oz — 13 to 15 feet for stream, 15 to 18 feet for fogger — gives you a realistic working distance that matters in open spaces or when you want to deploy before a threat closes distance. At 18 to 20 bursts, you’re not going to run out quickly, which is relevant if a situation involves more than one person or requires multiple deployments.

Frequently Asked Questions What’s the practical difference between the 2 oz and 4 oz Pepper Shot? The formula is identical — same 1.2% MC, same 2,000,000 SHU Pepper Shot blend. The differences are capacity, range, and size. The 4 oz gives you 18 to 20 bursts versus 6 to 10 for the 2 oz, and the range extends to 13 to 18 feet versus 8 to 10. The 4 oz is heavier and larger, making it better for belt carry in situations where you’re likely to use it rather than compact daily pocket carry. For home or vehicle use, the additional capacity is worth the size difference. Which spray pattern is best — stream, flip top, or fogger? Stream is the most precise and has the lowest blowback risk outdoors — it travels in a focused band to the target. Fogger disperses more widely, which increases coverage if your aim is off under stress, but carries more risk of blowback in wind and more contamination risk in enclosed spaces. The flip top uses stream delivery with a hinged cap that some people find quicker to open under stress than a twist-lock. Choose based on where you’re most likely to use it and which safety mechanism feels most natural to you. Is 18-20 bursts more than most people would realistically need? Probably, in a single-incident scenario. But there are practical reasons to have more capacity available: multiple individuals involved in a situation, an incident that requires more than one deployment, or simply the confidence of knowing you’re not going to run out. There’s also the consideration that pepper spray has an expiration date — a higher-capacity canister used regularly for practice and familiarity will be rotated before it expires rather than sitting unused. Many security and property management professionals specifically prefer the 4 oz for exactly this reason. Is the holster the same as what comes with the 2 oz version? The 4 oz canister includes a leatherette holster with belt clip, as does the 2 oz. The holsters are sized to fit their respective canisters — the 4 oz holster accommodates the larger body of the 4 oz canister. Both attach to a standard belt via clip. If you carry both sizes for different purposes, keep in mind they’re not interchangeable due to the size difference between the two canisters.
