Smith & Wesson6.1in Aircraft Aluminum Refillable Tactical Pull Cap Pen for Outdoor Survival Camping and Everyday Carry

Good construction and writes well. Had to replace mine with this one as TSA confiscated my last one. Be aware it isn't allowed in carry on luggage.

I love having this in my purse!

I’ve carried this for the last couple of years. It’s a great little safety carry, but also has a pen on you all the time. The pen refill is a good quality Parker pen refill.Carrying it every day as I do right next to my folding knife has worn on the exterior, but it’s still a solid purchase. I’ve bought them as gifts and have a couple extra laying around for back up

Man, what an attitude adjuster this thing is made to be. Someone's aggression could be knocked way back into their skull towards their reptilian hind brain. It hurts like crazy to be hit by this anywhere 'between' the head and shoulders. But! you will need to practice in some way beforehand and strike hard. It doesn't move on it's own!My only complaint, so to speak, is that the removable cap end is a little bit loose all the time. A tiny bit of travel there. That is weird. It does not feel like it will click out and come off by itself, but I'd really rather it just stay firmly snapped-in, closed tightly.It looks like a pen, although fat and mean-looking. ...Clearly thick metal, and very pointy! (Get a silver one, not the black one).It doesn't draw attention to itself...unless perhaps it's seen by a couple of guys scoping out a potential easy target inside a fast food joint or around a gas convenience store some night. Or one guy who is planning for a fast hold up outside as you fumble for the keys. He might see you flipping it around in your hand and knows [what's] a tactical pen when they see one.

As a pen it works as well as most you can buy like Bic or the like. As a self defense tool it is pretty solid and has lots of grip. But let's be clear this is something you should be putting allot of speed and momentum behind. In its design it is made to put allot of force to a concentrated area. That should be somewhere vital Eyes, Neck, Ribs, and Chest. Your goal should be to put your attacker down and not to scare them because this is not an object that will scare anyone.It's made to be discounted as a serious threat and in that sense it is a good surprise. Since the pen is made specific for a reverse grip it seems that people should get the simple physics of its use pretty quick to quote Antonio Banderas " The pointy end goes into the other man". And be aware its a strong round point and not a Sharp needle point.I can't stress enough that you must hit HARD, FAST and OFTEN with this pen. You will probably only get one chance if you are outnumbered or attackers are also armed. This pen is just made to carry anywhere and since most people would not know a tactical pen to look at one it will go unregistered if someone might see it. Because I have showed this pen to a few people and even a local cop I know. It was not until getting the pen in hand did anyone see it was no ordinary pen.Item shipped fast and was not damaged. For just $22 at this point it could save the life of average Jo citizen who can't fight, but in a life or death situation can use a hard object to put his or her attacker down. Like anything this pen is worthless in a survival situation if you don't have it or don't know how to use it. So make sure this pen is with your wallet, on your keys or in your pocket every day so it is there when you need it. But beyond that play with it while your watching TV or reading so its a known object in your brain. Work on yourgrip and even practice some tight to your body stabbing motions. Just 20min a day will make a huge difference.IT'S NOT ENOUGH TO JUST HAVE IT. YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE SKILL AND CONFIDENCE TO USE IT!

Pull the cap to access ink stick. The other point is for braking windows and "dirt-bags."Writes very well. Incredibly useful tool for your edc.

First one was great, 2 years later bought another one. Completely useless as the screw end that hides the pen will not come off even using tools. Sent it back.Got the replacement, same thing.Again I already have one that does work and am familiar with how it's made and assembled. Poor quality control and 2x in a row being useless has me never buying from S and W again.As a comparison, I bought a Black Fly pen and it's just as well built but unlike this one, it actually works.

Love it
