The pocket-size version of Mace’s triple-action formula — OC pepper, CN tear gas, and UV dye in a 0.42 oz canister that’s 3.25 inches tall. The finger-grip dispenser orients correctly in your hand even in the dark, and the flip-top safety cap keeps it from going off by accident. Small enough to stay on your keychain without being in the way.
This is the smaller sibling of Mace’s Triple Action line — 0.42 oz instead of 0.63 oz, 3.25 inches instead of 4.25. It fits a little better on a keychain, sits lower in a pocket, and weighs almost nothing at 0.15 lbs. But the formula stays the same: OC pepper, CN tear gas, and UV dye in one canister.
The trade-off is range and total bursts — you get 10 feet instead of 12, and fewer sprays overall. For most close-range, everyday situations, that’s still plenty. If you’re choosing between actually carrying this and leaving a larger canister at home, the pocket model wins on practicality.
This one is specifically noted as fitting comfortably in a woman’s hand, and the compact size reflects that. If you’ve found standard-size canisters feel bulky or hard to grip quickly, the pocket model addresses that directly. The finger-grip dispenser also helps — it’s shaped so that even if you grab it in a hurry or in the dark, it ends up pointed the right direction.
It’s a practical choice for anyone who already carries a lot on their keychain and doesn’t want one more bulk item, or for students and commuters who want something barely noticeable until it’s needed.

Consider something else if you need:
The mechanics are the same as the larger Triple Action model. OC pepper causes involuntary eye closure along with coughing and choking. CN tear gas adds intense tearing, facial burning, and disorientation. UV dye marks whoever is sprayed for later identification under black light. None of these require a direct hit to the eyes or mouth to start working.
What makes this canister particularly practical is the finger-grip design. It’s shaped so that your index finger naturally finds the right position, which means the actuator ends up under your thumb where it should be — without having to look at it or orient the canister consciously. In a stressful moment, that design choice matters.
Flip the safety cap with your thumb, press the actuator. The stream pattern fires to 10 feet.

When the full-size model is just a little too much to carry every day, this one keeps the formula and drops the bulk.
The formula is identical — OC pepper, CN tear gas, and UV dye. The main differences are size and range. The pocket model is 3.25″ tall with 0.42 oz of formula and a 10-foot range. The personal model is 4.25″ tall with 0.63 oz and a 12-foot range. If you’re choosing based on daily carry practicality, the pocket model is easier to keep on a keychain. If range and capacity matter more, step up to the personal model.
The finger-grip shapes the canister so that your index finger naturally falls into a groove, which means the spray nozzle ends up pointing away from you and the actuator ends up under your thumb. The practical benefit is that you can grab it in a hurry — or even in the dark — and it’s already oriented correctly without having to look at it or adjust your grip.
You can expect approximately 3–4 one-second bursts at a 10-foot range. That’s less than the larger model, which is the main trade-off for the more compact size. For a genuine short-duration situation, that’s sufficient. Replace the canister before the expiration date and don’t rely on a canister you’ve already partially used for primary defense.
OC pepper spray is legal in all 50 states for civilian use, but CN tear gas formulas can face additional restrictions in some states and localities. It’s worth verifying your specific state and local laws before purchasing any tear gas-containing product. If you’re in a state with restrictions on CN, a straight OC model may be the better fit.
