I bought a 1.8 oz. of OC spray about a week ago and stuck it in my pocket in case I came upon a threat like a vicious dog.
I turned the pocket clip so that it would face away if grabbed it in a hurry.
The idea was to be able to use it with one hand.
I was waiting in a medical building parking lot waiting for my wife and decide to see how quickly I could deploy the spray.
I aimed it out the drivers window and jammed my thumb under the flip top and pushed down.
It was too hard to push with one hand or two so I sat the bottom of the canister against the window ledge and pushed really hard and it spray out about ten feet.
I realized that it would take more work to be able to grab it one handed and use it in an emergency.
I took it out in the back yard tonight and using two hands sprayed it.
After about 5-8 one second bursts I noticed that enough pressure was gone from the canister that I could spray it with one hand.
It was still spraying a stream ten feet out when I quit because I want to save some for an emergency.
I ordered two more so that I will be able to practice and find out exactly how many bursts to waste before it will be easy enough to use in an emergency one handed and still have enough left to be effective.
