Bullet Space Pen

I purchased two of these pens; one for work and one for the bikes. The work one is great it fits perfectly on the Moleskin I carry at work. The pen and pocket clip fit just great in the elastic pen loop of the Moleskin. The only thing that surprised me was the size of the pen, maybe that is in the product description I do not remember; anyway my size 11 1/2 hands find the pen a little small, that I have to really pay attention to holding it. But the advantage is that is packs very well! Too recent to comment about the durability of the finish. The Fisher Guarantee sounds solid " If you are not satisfied with this Fisher Space Pen, return it directly to me for repair or replacement." Paul C. Fisher. Glad I got these pens.

As with Waco Kid, I've washed mine a few times, it still works flawlessly. The ink cartridges seem to give a fair amount of life for how compact they are. One of these is my daily carry, has been for years. Closed, it's compact, and tapered and blunt at both ends. The clip doesn't snag anything accidentally in pockets. I do recommend the black over chrome, as the clip is held on by tension only, the matte finish gives it a better grip, I've lost clips on chrome ones in the past.

Rather than being gravity fed there's a small pressured charge behind the ink, so if you've ever been frustrated trying to write against a wall, for example, and had a regular pen stop feeding, that won't happen with Fisher pens. I've written on wet Rite in the Rain notepads without issue. I've taken to using the refills in other pens just because it's so reliable.

I was actually going to recommend that this pen be added to the catalog. I didn't know Aerostich sold already them. I've been carrying one in matte black for a while. It fits perfectly in my jeans pocket, far from any vital organs, seat belts, etc.. It's been through the washer and suffered no damage. It writes on anything, even grease-stained cash register receipts.

I used this pen in Afghanistan and not once did it fail, ok maybe once, but that was because it ran out of ink. One refill and it was good as new. I have continued to use this over the years since returning and love it.

I've owned a few of these over the years. With the cap on the back of the pen, the pen is extended to a nice writing length. With the cap covering the pen, it's very compact. The ink writes well on wet or dry surfaces. It's a great companion to a "Rite in the Rain" brand notebook. The ink flows the same at 130 degrees as it does at 70 degrees, the same at 20 degrees below zero. I've used mine in the summertime in Kuwait, and while snow skiing in the Rockies. It always writes great for a ballpoint pen. They use the standard Astronaut Pen refills that you can find just about anywhere.
