FisherSpace Pen Bullet Pen - 400 Series - Lacquered Brass - Gift Boxed

Excellent grip, great balance, and wonderful clip. If only it could improve my handwriting.

Like many, I own a few Fisher Space Pens of different varieties. This Lacquered Brass pen is unique in that it has these circular etched lines all the way up and down the barrels for a really good grip when writing. These lines mean you do not have to hold it so tight since it will not slip in your hand. I find the cap also holds better because of them. The clip as well has better grip.I have this pen in a sheath that I carry with my Leatherman multi-tool and it fits (without slipping) into the side pockets and the clip helps hold it just that much better. It's the same exact size as always. Of course it writes extremely well as expected from Fisher's unique pressurized refills. I highly recommend this pen. Well done! to Fisher again.

I use this pen specifically for Sudoku puzzles in bed. Writing on my back with a normal pen never works as they all go dead after a few numbers. This pen however never goes dead on me while im writing "upside down". The ink feels as though it wants to get out of the pen, even the lightest touch will leave a mark. It's simmilar to a gel pen but smudge free and with the feeback of a rollerball.

This is kinda pricey for a pen that only lasted 6 months. Eventually the o ring gets worn out and the pen got bended.

I got the brass with the protective coating. It looks like a gold plated pen and I have received comments on such a nice pen. It works best when the cap is placed on the back end of the pen so it is the length of a typical pen. The ball action is smoother than other pens I have used and it writes easily on every type of paper I have tried.

Been using these for years. If you are a left handed writer these are a blessing from the "gods of technology" for writing. No more smeared ink and fighting the rolling. The pressurized cartridge keeps the rolling and smooth, it also holds a lot of ink. My record is almost a year of using it on a daily for copious amounts of writing before I lost the pen. I have not ever run a refill dry. The pen is so good it develops "legs", and is one of my favorite Christmas gifts, to give, as they have "affordable" units. I often get request for a repeat on these gifts and the different colored refills.Despite the "taking a walk" problem it is cheaper for me to buy one of these than all the cheap disposables I lose in a year when I try to economize. It is just expensive enough to keep track of, and cheap enough to afford, and write better than the "expensive" pens, and I have tried all the brands, including those that cost more than my Mac and Iphone.

I've had a few EDC pens. Lost my last one and decided to spend some extra money on one of these--my old colleague had a black one and loved it and never quit taking about it--and I don't regret buying this one bit. After a week of use and adjusting to it, this will not leave my side! Get one!

I like this pen for sooooo many reasons. Not only does this pen write upside down, it is very smooth. I have one with the fine point ink cartridge along with one the regular/medium point. I honestly cannot see a difference.I personally like the gold(ish) version with the clip. It fits in everything - billfolds, wristlets, phone cases...The Space pen comes in great presentation plastic latch box. I have given the many versions of this pen sold here on Amazon as presents. The recipients really like and treasure the pens, always.The pen is 5 1/2” opened. It is 3 7/8” with the top closed. Just a great pen that has, and does, last for years and years. :)
