FWIW, my Pom canister arrived today. It would totally fly under the radar. It looks like a woman's cosmetic, perfume spritzer, or maybe even an inhaler.

The expiration isn’t for the OC it’s for the propellant. I’ve seen cans work fine at five years but I’ve seen a few cans dribble OC from the nozzle at five years.Originally Posted by Erik
I’ve got some old cans lying around. I’ll test them and see how they work.
Just a dog chauffeur that used to hold the dumb end of the leash.
On Greg Ellifritz's blog, he just came out in favor of the POM.
Got it. Thanks.
I tested some Punch recently with a 1994 expiration date. It sprayed fine, and a crosswind assured me it was still potent.
I'm only aware of one incident where Punch didn't work as designed. Two full-grown officers with full-tube maglites were required and even that took a bit of time. I haven't seen Punch in quite a while though.

Ordered some POM for Mom! One snap ring and one clip. Whichever one she doesn't like as much is going to be used for test-firing, probably on me. Hopefully these guys start to offer inert units some time soon.
Here's a link to the latest Civilian Carry Radio episode with Chuck Haggard talking about OC, with Mr. Murphy and Mr. Correia as guests on the panel.

I got two canisters of POM the other day as well. The Sabre that I’d given my wife had a very weak safety mechanism that was always getting moved around in her purse. I’m a much bigger fan of the POM’s trigger and safety and agree that the colors will probably make it easier to fly under the radar. I don’t know what it looks like, but I wouldn’t immediately guess pepper spray if I didn’t already know.

I've been carrying my POM for a couple weeks now. Aside from the benefit of the non-tactical colors, it carries much easier than the larger Sabre with pocket clip. As a result, it has become a permanent part of my pocket dump.

I’ve been carrying the Pom for a couple days. I like it.
A couple nitpicks, I’d like to see a bigger finger guard for indexing the hand and keeping it out of the stream. I’d also like to see a bigger option.
I definitely prefer this trigger safety to the standard Sabre slider. I’d guess there’s less chance of pocket stuff getting underneath the POM’s trigger safety than the Sabre MK6’s.
This seems like a winner.
