They dont accept emails from outside the 50 states either...
 
The pen is actually well made. I' m hardly a machinist. But this unit appears to be milled out from bar stock. The fit and finish is excellent. The knurled rings on the body are clean and has more than enough grip onto your flesh to provide as a kubaton. The low profile matte frinished pocket clip is strong and is secured by 2 screws. The cap screws down about 1.5 turns. And is tight with ends mating almost perfect. There is no o- ring for water resist. The body seperates by about 5 turns to reveal a Fisher cartridge, which holds a minute 0- ring that rests on the lower step of the cartridge. This may help water resist capability. At least from the tip end. The cartridge stays put with no wiggle while writing. Mine came with a rather smooth ink flow- no globbing... so far. The cap does not and cannot rest on the butt end of the body. Both are the same diameter. This is a plus if you are contemplating impact/ locking weapon use- no clickie, no twisty for something to go wrong. For those who need to write on many seperate occasions thruout their daily routine, the non- capping cap may be a pain. But if you write for long sessions, especially if stationary at any area, I don' t think it would be a great inconvenience. The knurling location on both upper and lower body is just right for my hand. No slipping nor much need to reposition. The only marking on this pen is located on the opposite side of the pocket clip- "CAGE: 4QK35 MADE IN USA". I like this one. Nothing fancy. Just utilitarian low profile appearance and construction. Worth the $.

I think I will stick with my rotring 500 looks less tactical and would still deal quite a blow.
 
Looks familiar. http://www.tuffwriter.com/

I have one of these and it is a very well made and stout pen. I actually hammered it through a 2x4, you can see pictures of this from another member did in the Busse subforum. It writes well and its tough but the lack of cap retention kills it for me. I have replaced it with a much cheaper Zebra 701.
 
I have one of these and think it's the best of the so-called "tacticals".

Mil-Tac pen. They've improved the clip, mine has two screws. You can loosely post the cap when writing, although it can come off easily. You need the conversion piece (small plastic sleeve) to use Fisher cartridges. I use a blue bold point and it's awesome. Pretty simplistic and less threatening.
 
I got one of those and I like it a lot. That Mil-Tac and the Perrin pen are the only tacticals I carry.

I made a converter out of the cartridge that came with it after it dried up. I used pliers to yank the point of the cartridge out, and swabbed the inside clean. Then I stuck a piece of surgical tubing in the bottom of it to act as a spacer, popped in Fisher insert inside, bored out the original plastic collar so it fit snugly around the point of the Fisher insert, stuck it all together and voila! A perfect converter. :D

Tactical anything becomes known to law enforcement before it becomes known to most of us. Yes, you could see it taken away. Tac pens, kubotans, all of it.

On the other hand, an ordinary metal pen without grooves and flanges, or a mini maglight in lieu of a kubotan, will fly just fine.

I've flown several times with my Mil-Tac, but if loss is a concern I'd recommend the Taylor Brands tactical pens (under the Schrade and Smith & Wesson lines). I have the Schrade and It's really nice for only around $20, and it fits a Fisher perfectly. My one gripe was the clip, which I've since replaced. :)

Schrade pen on the top, Mil-Tac on the bottom.

I've got one of the Country Comm pens and I am pretty happy with it. The workmanship is very good and the finish seems like it will last, although mine did get scratched up a little because it was rubbing against the blade on my BM Mini Barrage while in my pocket. I also have had the pen unscrew from the cap a couple of times while it was in my pocket. I think if they machined a grove for an o-rind to go where the cap meets the pen, that would solve the problem and make it water resistant. I'm going to try and see if I can get an o-ring to fit or modify mine for an o-ring. Overall, I think it is a good pen.

I'll just say +1 to this. Just got mine, and I'm impressed. This is something that'll ride in my field bag for occasional use. I use Paper Mates at work. :D
 
I purchased a Fisher Telescoping Space pen and I really like it's small size. It can be carried in the pocket easily or you can attach a clip to the pen to carry in a shirt pocket.

I'd get the Perrin too, if they ever were available. :grumpy: They are always out of stock on the website. Possibly the best bargain ever, great pen for a reasonable cost.
