There are some features that we like less on this pen, so here are our cons:
- The grip in the bottom part is not very good and the pen tends to slip
- The pen is on the heavy weight side and your hand gets tired after some writing
- There is a simple plastic bag as packaging which is not very reliable
- You need more than 1 revolution to completely retract the pen
- The bottom is half plastic
- The clip is a bit too strong and it’s difficult to use it sometimes
- The clip actually stands in the way when using the pen as a tactical device
- The ink that comes with it is not very good quality
- The tip is very sharp and you need to pay attention to never leave it around children.
All in all, this is a reliable tactical pen of good quality for the money you pay. It’s a solid and long lasting pen that completes your EDC gear.
