Surefire Pens

[truthseeker]

I picked up both versions of Surefire's pens a while back and I thought I'd share some pics of them for comparison. I know when I was shopping for them, I didn't see anything that really gave a good feel for the size. There are lots of subjective reviews and opinions out there on them, so I won't delve into that much. Suffice it to say that they both feel nice in the hand, and Surefire's quality is immediately apparent. When I need a pen at work, I'm usually wearing thick gloves and writing on a dirty notepad. The ink cartridge in these is the only one I've found other than the Space Pen that will write on damp, dirty paper. FWIW, I prefer the twist model over the click for normal writing duty, but I like the click more for when I'm in the field. I find that the diameter makes it easier to hang on to with gloves.

Here they are compared to each other, an iPhone, and a regular Sebbie. I even hired an attractive (and expensive) hand model for some "action" shots.

I have both and they are both great. I like the twisty for the extra weight when writing thru several carbons.

I have a couple of the twisty versions.

Nice construction.

I've got the twist, the first version, and it's my regular desk pen.
I'm tempted to get the click for carrying around.
