Do we have a favorite mace for urban settings?

Mace, OC, or whatever does work well. But the problem is it also works on whomever is spraying it.

When I was a cop, each time it got used, the stuff swirled around and always got me.

So it works well. She just needs to understand a few precautions and also practice with it from time to time, just like a firearm.

Just to be fair, medieval weapons aside. If carrying pepper spray or oc makes her comfortable. Cool, know that she’s going to be exposed as well and that can work against her. I’ve been oc, cs, tased, deep freezed, it all sucks but can be fought through and has unintended consequences. A gun is my preferred option if I’m in a situation. I prefer not to be in one period, but sometimes it can’t be helped.

Hey, I will actually answer your question. Sabre has been the go to for many years, and I have heard good things about POM industries lately. As a guy with a wife and daughters, there are times they can't run, carry a firearm, fight at a BJJ black belt level. This is their hand is better than nothing.

Why not bear spray? Is it "bad"?

Illegal in most places to use on people

Not as potent as regular spray either from what ive been told.

I think there is a new brand out.
It's called "Belgian Malinois."


In all seriousness, I've seen mace and pepper spray both work and not work including some who were sprayed so much, it was like tackling a greased pig.
I think if she trained on any of the bear sprays, she would most likely be somewhat comfortable.

Been sprayed and tazed several times. A detained individual will fight through it.

Nothing beats hand to hand combat and a gun if things get bad enough. Just my 2 cents

At 19 (in a bar...) I watched a handcuffed guy try to fight 2 cops that were spraying him with mace.

I don't carry, but if I was going to carry mace, I'd probably carry a 9mm.

Get a can of CRC brand wasp spray.

Sabre makes a ½ size pepper spray, ½ the size of a typical bear spray that is.
