Fisher Space Pens

[Fast Bill]

In the real world a pen is there to be used.
Agreed! 
Others might have come off worse ! 
Possibly! But in this particular case, a cheap plastic pen would have bounced off the ground with no damage. 

I know which I trust not to break if sat on though! 

  You might not know whether to laugh or cry 

Hmm, the bullet is pretty slim. It would be a bit of a shock if that happened, but I don't think that it would hurt.

On the bright side it'd still write eh? Never mind zero gravity or extremes of temperature

My silver bullet pen I have carried it for a long while (read as I have no idea how long but long enough for me.not to know how long I have carried it )

I like where the chrome has rubbed off. 
No clip?

No clip It doesn't clip in jeans pockets well without hangin on all sorts of things plus I use suspension clips for both my SAK and light I use to pocket carry it all the time (and I still pocket carry th black one when I carry it) but it stays in an altoid tin with several more of my EDC items

     I have a silver bullet space pen I carry in my watch pocket.  I switched out the ink with the refill for a zebra pen, which in my opinion writes better for daily use. I have not had the need to write underwater or in outer space or even zero gravity so for me the zebra refill is good.

I don't think you'll get many, or any at all that would disagree that the Fisher ink isn't as good as others for pure writing, however the Fisher ink excels in harsh environments, whether it be temperature, moisture etc, or even dirty / oily environments. Its not just zero gravity, if you need to write on anything above your head or at a funny angle you don't need to worry about keeping the pen in the correct orientation to allow ink flow due to gravity.
At my work, we use carbon copy permit books, and after they have been used on the job they can get filthy, and my Fisher ink has no trouble where others do. At home, or in the office, then anything will do, and if I was writing lots, I'd rather use Parker or Zebra or Sheaffer ink

And in addition, did you ever try the Fine fisher refill? The Medium refill is the one that comes standard, and the Fine writes a little nicer(no gobbing or anything) than the Medium.

+1 to this. The Fine refill is much better IMHO

I have a fine in my AG-7, but at work I just need it to write, so use the Medium. No finesse required.

Over the past two weeks, I've added a X-750 to my daily carry, since I don't always have my lab coat on me; I find it write very well, without the globing I had experienced with a bullet, years back.

FYI, the X-750 uses the same refill as the Bullet, and its only some Medium point refills that are prone to gobbing ink at the tip, Fine point(which looks like medium.  ) refills seem to be immune.

Interesting pic of the brass piece that holds the upper and lower part of the Bullet barrel together.

And attached is my pic of the other end of said brass piece.

I've got a black one somewhere but here's my TAD Gear silver one.

Cool engraving.

When I (eventually) run through my medium refill, I do intend on replacing it with a fine point; perhaps my comparison is unfounded, though, as the bullet to which I refer was found on the ground down in Key West, I do not know how hard of a life it had lived prior to me picking it up.

[Kev D]

I replaced my medium with fine point as soon as I got my pen, I just couldn't get on with the medium

[captain spaulding]

I also have a fine point refill I will drop in once the medium runs out.

My Purple Passion with Fine refill.

I do think Bullets have excellent Fiddle Factor in meetings

I guess I need to get a fine refill for mine as well

Did someone say patina

I just made one of these pen/knife holders.  As soon as it dries I'll post a picture.  I had a small piece of scrap leather and for thread I used the inner strand of paracord.

Yep, fine refills are great compared to the medium.

Fits my 84mm Tinker and Fisher pen.

[Don Pablo]

Very nice. 
How does it feel in the pocket?

Thank you 

Its not bad but as with anything new in pocket I'll have to test drive it for a little bit.  I figure within a week I'll know if I actually like the feel in pocket.  I keep my wallet in my front left pocket so this will ride in front right for now.

Nice, I have been considering something similar to protect the chrome a bit.

Totally stole the idea on from this thread.  There are some great simple sheaths that house a SAK and pen or even inexpensive full size pen slip case that can be cut down I imagine.
