Triple Action in the Smallest Package
You already know the Triple Action formula is one of the most complete personal sprays out there — OC pepper for immediate eye closure and burning, tear gas for coughing and disorientation, UV dye for identification. The Pocket Model puts all three into the smallest Mace canister at 0.42 ounces. It fits in a front pocket, a coin pocket, a small clutch — places where the larger Personal model just won’t go.
Who This Pepper Spray Is For
This is for the person who wants the triple-action formula but won’t carry anything bigger than what fits comfortably in a tight pocket. You wear slim clothes, you carry a small bag, or you’re the type who values pocketability above all else. You don’t want to choose between the single-ingredient OC Pocket Model and the larger Triple Action Personal — you want both benefits combined. This gives you that.
Is This the Right Choice for You?
Choose the Pocket Triple Action if you want:
- The 3-in-1 formula in the most compact Mace size
- True pocket carry without sacrificing formula quality
- The added backup of tear gas beyond just OC pepper
Consider something else if you need:
- More bursts and longer range (the Triple Action Personal is larger with 12-ft range)
- Just OC pepper at a lower price (the standard Pocket Model skips the tear gas)
Why Triple Action Matters in a Small Canister
When you’re working with a smaller canister, every burst counts. The triple-action formula makes each burst more effective because you’re hitting someone with three active ingredients instead of one. OC pepper causes the primary reaction — burning and eye closure. Tear gas adds a second wave of coughing, choking, and disorientation that works even if the pepper doesn’t land perfectly. The UV dye is silent insurance for law enforcement identification later.
The stream spray pattern keeps things focused and accurate at up to 10 feet. That’s a couple feet less than the larger Personal model, but plenty for real-world encounters in parking lots, sidewalks, and building corridors. The flip-top safety prevents accidental discharge — flip it up with your thumb, press the button, and you’re deploying.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from the regular Pocket Model?
Same size canister, different formula. The regular Pocket Model uses OC pepper with UV dye — two ingredients. This Triple Action version adds tear gas as a third ingredient. The extra formula costs the same but gives you a more complete defense. If they’re the same price, there’s no reason not to go Triple Action.
Is tear gas legal everywhere?
Not in every jurisdiction. Some states and cities restrict tear gas formulas specifically. Check your local laws before purchasing. Where it’s legal, the tear gas component is a real advantage — it works through a different mechanism than OC pepper, so you’re covering more bases.
How many bursts do I get?
The 0.42 oz canister provides several short bursts. The exact count depends on burst duration, but you’ll have enough for a real deployment. The triple-action formula makes each burst more effective, which means you may need fewer bursts to achieve the same result as a single-ingredient spray.
