SEARCHThe MK-9S is the next innovation in pepper spray with an intense concentration of major capsaicinoids that is non-flammable, EDW-safe formula and produces a high volume mist, exceeding CRT and DOT flammability protocols, according to the company.
Safariland has released the First Defense MK-9S 0.7% O.C. Vapor in its Defense Technology brand.
The MK-9S is the next innovation in pepper spray with an intense concentration of major capsaicinoids that is non-flammable, EDW-safe formula and produces a high volume mist, exceeding CRT and DOT flammability protocols, according to the company.
The MK-9S (Model 43896) uses a potent formulation designed to stay in emulsion to ensure delivery of the same levels of agent to the target consistently. Unlike other brands, the active ingredient in the MK-9S O.C. Vapor will not separate and remains in the canister.
The MK-9S delivers eight to 10 short bursts and has an effective range of 15 feet with a weight of 12.7 ounces. The vapor primarily inflames the mucous membranes, upper respiratory tract, and exposed skin, which results in shortness of breath, pain, discomfort, and a burning sensation. Once the subject is removed from the contaminated area to fresh air, the respiratory effects are resolved within minutes.
Retail prices are $49 for the MK-9S O.C. Vapor 0.7% with wand adapter (model 43890); $45 for the MK-9S O.C. Vapor 0.7% (model 43896); and $60.50 for the hose and wand adapter (model 43950W).
