How about wasp spray? You could fill up their eyes mouth and nose when they were still 20 feet away.
Wasp spray is good too but bear spray reaches out thirty feet for almost thirty seconds. Wasp spray is good against people attackers and is cheaper than p-spray. (my dad, brothers and my uncle are all ex-military and know this stuff).

That would be my choice after a .38.
Wasp spray for self defense is a bad idea. It is a myth! Stick with the Pepper Spray. Wasp spray is unproven and has never been tested on humans. Wasp Spray will NOT work on those who cannot feel pain i.e. drugs or alcohol. Pepper Spray is an inflammatory which will cause the eyes to slam shut no matter the situation. Thats why over 40,000 law enforcement agencies carry it nationwide and even the smallest canisters will fire 10 ft while the larger canisters will fire 25 to 30 ft.
