The Mace Pocket Triple Action is the most compact version of Mace’s three-ingredient formula — combining OC pepper, CN tear gas, and UV marking dye in a 0.42 oz canister sized specifically to fit a smaller hand or a crowded keychain. At 3.25″ tall and 0.15 lbs, it disappears into a pocket and comes out fast when you need it.
- 3-in-1 formula: OC pepper, CN tear gas, and UV identification dye in a compact 0.42 oz canister
- Stream delivery with 10-foot effective range
- Finger-grip dispenser orients the unit correctly even in low light or high stress
- Flip-top safety cap prevents accidental discharge
- Includes ball keychain; 1-year warranty on canister and nozzle
The Smallest Triple Action Canister in the Mace Lineup
The Pocket Model Triple Action carries the same three-ingredient formula as the standard personal size — OC pepper, CN tear gas, UV dye — in a smaller, lighter package. It’s 1 inch shorter and 0.05 lbs lighter than the Personal model, which matters when you’re designing your carry around true pocket or keychain use. The finger-grip design also addresses a real problem: in a stressful situation, it’s easy to grab a spray canister backwards. The grip corrects your orientation automatically.
Who This Pepper Spray Is For
This model is specifically designed with a smaller hand in mind. Women who want a pepper spray that fits their grip comfortably — rather than a full-size canister that can shift position during deployment — will find the Pocket Triple Action more natural to hold and aim.
Students, commuters, and anyone who keeps their spray on a keychain with other items will appreciate the compact 3.25″ profile. It takes up less space and weighs less than a tube of lip balm, so there’s no reason to leave it behind.
It’s also appropriate for people who are new to carrying pepper spray and want to start with something manageable before deciding whether they want more capacity. The mechanics — flip the cap, press the actuator, aim for the face — are straightforward, and the 10-foot range gives meaningful working distance.
Is This the Right Choice for You?
Choose the Mace Pocket Triple Action if you want:
- The most compact Mace triple-action option for keychain or small-pocket carry
- A finger-grip design that keeps the canister oriented correctly under stress
- Triple-ingredient formula in the smallest available size
Consider something else if you need:
- More spray volume for multiple uses — the 0.42 oz size provides fewer bursts than the 0.63 oz Personal model
- More than 10 feet of range — the larger Personal model or a gel spray extends reach
- Indoor or wind-sensitive deployment — gel delivery reduces blowback risk
The Finger-Grip Design: Why It Matters
Most cylindrical pepper spray canisters are symmetrical — there’s no tactile indication of which end to aim. The finger-grip dispenser on the Pocket Triple Action solves this with a physical depression on one side that correctly positions your index finger when you grab the unit. You know immediately which direction it’s pointing without looking at it. That’s a meaningful ergonomic advantage when your hands are shaking and your attention is elsewhere.
The flip-top safety cap operates the same way as the Personal model — flip up with the thumb, then press the actuator. OC pepper delivers immediate eye closure and respiratory irritation; CN tear gas contributes intense tearing and facial burning even from partial contact. The UV dye leaves a mark invisible to the naked eye but detectable under ultraviolet light. All three agents work simultaneously in a focused stream that reaches 10 feet.

Practical Details
The Pocket Triple Action canister is 3.25″ tall, 1″ wide, weighs 0.15 lbs, and holds 0.42 oz. Black color. Stream spray pattern with 10-foot range. Flip-top safety cap, finger-grip body, ball keychain included. 1-year Mace warranty on canister and nozzle. Check local regulations on pepper spray before purchasing — restrictions vary by state and municipality.
When the priority is the smallest possible triple-action carry, this is the one. The finger-grip design alone makes it worth choosing over generic keychain sprays of similar size.
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the practical difference between this and the larger Triple Action Personal model?
The Pocket model is 1 inch shorter and holds 0.21 oz less formula — fewer total bursts and 2 feet less range. The formula is identical. The choice comes down to how you carry: if it’s on a keychain or in a small pocket, the Pocket model’s compact size is worth the trade-off in capacity. If you carry in a jacket pocket or bag, the Personal model’s extra capacity is useful without meaningfully impacting portability.
How does the finger-grip dispenser work?
The canister has a molded depression on one side sized for your index finger. When you grab the spray in a hurry, your finger naturally finds this depression and the spray is already oriented correctly — nozzle pointing away from you. You don’t have to look at it to orient it. This is especially useful in low-light situations or when operating under stress where fine motor control is reduced.
Is CN tear gas legal everywhere pepper spray is legal?
Laws vary significantly by jurisdiction. OC pepper spray is legal for adult civilian carry in most U.S. states with some restrictions. CN tear gas is subject to its own set of regulations in some states and localities, which can differ from OC rules. Before purchasing a combination formula product, verify the legality of all active ingredients in your specific state, county, and city. Some jurisdictions restrict tear gas agents separately from OC.
How many bursts does the 0.42 oz canister provide?
The 0.42 oz size provides approximately 5-10 one-second bursts depending on how the actuator is pressed and at what angle the canister is held. Stream delivery is more conservative with formula than fog or mist patterns, which is part of why the range extends to 10 feet. For practical purposes, this is enough for a real defensive situation — one to three bursts is typically sufficient for effect. It’s not designed for extended training use.
