Wow, really nice pens! I especially like the Smith & Vesson. How are they priced compared to, lets say a Montblanc? Also, is there anything special about their construction?

Thanks, I like the S&W one too, it's not as heavy as the Uzi. These two are very inexpensive compared to a Montblanc. Together they only cost me 5,000 yen . However, they're made from Aircraft aluminium, so they are fairly indestructible Both take the standard Parker and Fisher Space Pen refills.

So how are the pens?

I read somewhere that the clip and grip on the barrel can damage your shirt pocket fabric?

How do they feel in the hand?

That Uzi is rather substantial looking...with all the knurling I would think it might be a little hard on the hands (&/or shirt pocket) as Steve-o was asking about.
Either way, enjoy! (and try to stay out of situations where you might have to utilize their 'other' purpose.)

Funny enough, I actually can't use the clip on the Uzi pen on a regualar shirt pocket. It's too tight. The grip on both pens doesn't really feel that bad and once you get used to the weight, they feel the same as any other ballpoint pen. I find the S&W to be nicer to write with simply because it's lighter. The S&W's clip feels more like a regular pen. The Uzi's clip is better suited for slipping in the side of a bag or a sturdier jacket pocket. I generally just have them in my pen pockets of my bag.

Thanks, the knurling doesn't hurt at all, however, I think it would probably destroy a normal shirt pocket and yes, I'll be careful. Thanks

Sorry Steve, not my intent at all, just a very poor attempt at humor re: the wear and tear on shirt pockets

Apologies to all

I have a few tactical pens... Benchmade (x2), a Surefire, and a very nice titanium model by Rick Hinderer. His was the most expensive at about 300 US. Here are some pics... enjoy!

Are these just for the coolness factor, or are they really designed to be used as a weapon if the situation presents it self? I see some feature the glass break feature...(IE: if your in a car w/elec windows and the cars in water, emergent escape)

Yes, they are double purpose pens
