I already have a chrome bullet pen, which I'm getting a clip for soon, but I thought I'd check out some of the other space pens. Since the only place I can get them has to order them and you have to prepay to order, I won't be able to test it out before I buy. I've narrowed it down to these:
1) Chrome Plated Millenium Pen $100 (I would get the black Titanium finish, but I don't think it's worh the extra $95 for a black finish)

2) Telescoping Pen (can you put a clip on it?) $35

3) Titanium Plated Bullet $40 with clip, $42

4) 3 in one pen, with blue and black ink and pencil, also red ink refill and stylus attachment $??

I also have a couple questions. Does anyone know the measurements for the Telescoping pen, when open and closed? And if the Millenium or Millenium II pens ever run out of ink, will Fisher replace them? Oh, and unless I get the Millenium Pen, I will probably be getting two of the less expensive pens. Thanks for any info.
 
I'm not sure what the Millenium Pen is, but with my experience with space pens, the bullet with a clip is the best out there. I have a telescoping one, sorry don't have the measurements right off hand, and just don't like it as well as a bullet... doubt a clip would make much difference. I also have one of the larger models, no idea on the name as I bought it many years ago, still works fine though and never had any problems with it, it just hides with my checkbook and doesn't get to come out and play much.
 
I have a chrome bullet pen, a titanium telescoping pen and regular retractable pen with clip from Campmor. Since getting the telescoping pen, it's the one I usually have in my pants pocket. It's small, lightweight and available when I need it.
I also like the Eversharp refills (thanks feverdoc for that info).

Sharon Luggage currently has the Bullet Pen with the black titanium coating on sale for $30. I just bought one and have been very pleased with it. The pen is attractive and comfortable to write with while the finish seems to be nearly indestructable. :)

I hated the only Eversharp refill I ever used. The thing ran out in about 1/8 the time, smeared, and left big splotches of ink everywhere. I only use the Fisher ones now. Anyway, does anyone know if the telescoping pen is smaller when closed than the bullet, and if it is bigger when opened? Thanks.
 
Sheesh! Some of the military/surplus catalog companies like Brigade Q. and U.S. Cav. have plastic space pens (click retractable and with clips) for $8! That's where I get mine. Sure the body is plastic and the mechanism cheap, but the cartrige is Fisher and works just fine, and I lose pens all the time (I've lost 3 of these in the last year alone)!
