John, I think I need your pen.

To late Ben,reluctantly "sold" it went back across the pond due to the fact I hated taking it out for fear of losing it

I'm now in line to get a S&W SS tac pen I figure if I lose that I'll only cry for a day and not the rest of my life

It looked gorgeous.

I still want a tac pen of some sort. I may invest in the Fred Perrin one as that doesn't look too tactical.

Why not get a stainless steel Parker. No one will look twice at it, cheap and a good pen

Yeah but be careful the cap can be illegal EDC it' has a sharp knife like point

Best stick with nub type tac pen IMHO

Where's the ninja like coolness in a Parker?

The S&W is SS and comes in blue or gold and takes fisher space pen rifles

See, I think the Mil-tac type ones look very tactical and likely to cause grief if caught with. $:-\$ Would like one though.

Not at all I have had this first hand as long as it's not sharp and waved around in a threatening manner it's fine

[edit] one point to remember even a SAK will get you grief if waved about in a threatening manner otherwise they're fine

Benner · **Reply #249 on:** October 15, 2009, 10:54:21 PM

Perhaps I just need to bite the bullet and just get one (after the £1100 car bill

). My other "concern" is that some one at work in the know will see it and know what it is actually designed for.

Benner · **Reply #250 on:** October 15, 2009, 11:05:55 PM

Having said that, a blue Smith and Wesson tac pen looks pretty harmless.

The only thing with that colour it's nice bright and people will want to borrow it

John · **Reply #252 on:** October 15, 2009, 11:23:46 PM

Mind you when I used to wear a kilo of gold on my person that gold one would've been nice

But I'm going for the black one more stealth like IMO

I'm kinda anti the Tac pen genre . Secret's out about them . I'm filling that niche with a Stainless Sharpie ( Tks. GG ), or a Streamlight Stylus Pro . When I'm working I think my Fluke non contact voltage tester would also do in a pinch . None of these items will get you into Doo , unles you are flagrant about it .

I find my writing isn't very neat when using the Streamlight though.

That's why I like the Fred Perrin as it just looks like a good pen IMO.

IMO the mil tac looks the lesser tactical pen from a view point as it has a less pointy end,that said I'm still going with the S&W but I shall sand of the S&W of the clip because just the name S&W conjures up "WEAPON" something tactical and anyone seeing the name would think

guns

without the name it's just a pen

Here are some shots of the Surefire U2 I got today. Awesome solid light with a great UI, really nice beam, and a great low.

I would never have gotten one at full price. They are a bit pricy but I found one at an awesome deal and couldn't pass it up.

Any plan to drop an MCE in there?
