The only pepper spray I've ever been sprayed with was Saber Red gel and the gel did take about a minute to take effect.
The only time I ever sprayed pepper spray was at a raccoon and I missed.
I've spoken to several trainers who say that you need to practice with the spray and they even sell cans of inert spray that you can use to practice your aim.
This is what I carry in the mountains but it's obviously not concealable.
Based on my very minimal experience I prefer fog over Gel. I carry a can of UDAP Jogger Fogger, it's about 3 inches by 1.25 inches in diameter.
The only time I've ever had any cause to even get the pepper spray out was at work and I found the deterrent value of the pepper spray to be greater than the deterrent value of having a gun on my hip. Crackheads don't think you'll really shoot them but they absolutely believe that you'll spray them.
And just to be clear every time I ever pulled out pepper spray at work was in direct response to a threat from someone I was trying to remove from property. I wasn't just whipping it out to be an ass.
