J. SANCHEZ: I love this pen. I think I could be a pen salesman, and my target market would be sales teams who are hiring. They play into your hand effortlessly: “Sell me this pen”. You whip out a X701. You extend your arm and give him the pen. “Write with it”. As soon as he grabs the military grade pressurized stainless steel barrel, he feels he is writing with something important, something meant for a purpose. But he won’t be sold that easy. He scribbles on the paper…. The pen glides so effortlessly, it feels as if he’s not touching the paper, but gliding over it…impressive for weight. He doesn’t even know why the barrel is pressurized, what he’d do with the lanyard loop, or that the pen preforms at 100% at temperatures between -30 to 250 degrees. He doesn’t know the black matte finish has been engineered to be unchippable, or that it comes with refills at purchase in blue and black. He doesn’t know the pen has been through countless tests to ensure not only that it preforms perfectly at challenging angles, but also on challenging surfaces. Surprisingly enough, he doesn’t know it’s a ballpoint, as it’s so smooth to write with, being a...

PIEJOPIEJO: Penwrites extremely well. Very smooth.Lightweight but tough pen. The finish isnt the strongest and you can see the wear on it already.

Mad F: Das Design ist außergewöhnlich gut. Der Stift ist auch sehr leicht. Zum längeren Schreiben nicht geeignet. Dafür ist der Griff vorne zu groß und hart. Die Riffelung ist eher unangenehm zu halten. Habe häufiger gelesen das die schwarze Farbe leicht abplatzen kann. Will ich nicht riskieren.

GODSPEED|seven: I'll be very upfront, I dislike "Tactical" as a name given to anything that is not a plan. It is something that applies to military planning, sports, video games, a style of story.

Not an object.

That said, this pen is pretty awesome, I like a pen that has slightly more girth where I hold it, compared to thin pens that give me cramps in the hand. I also like black. This pen matches me very well, always in black; simple, clean, perfect! (nooo! not ME, I'm as far from perfect as they come, the BLACK on the pen is PERFECT!) SCHWARZ!!!!

The pen simply looks good; is light, but feels solid and writes very well. Whether you need or want pressurized ink cartridges, that's kind of something you decide. I noticed I never get "air bubbles" in the ink, so when I write, it ALWAYS writes. Sometimes though, I've noticed that, maybe due to the pressurized nature of the ink, that on rare occasion, some extra ink would build up at the tip. Temperature changes? It's never leaked though, I never took out the pen and found ink on my hands.. I only noticed that when writing alot on dirty paper, scribbling and notepad. So maybe getting dirty paper dust on the tip...

J. AlexanderJ. Alexander: Pros:
1. Longest I've ever hung onto the same pen with daily use
2. Durable
3. Ink lasts a really long time
4. Writes in fairly tough conditions
5. It's a click pen!!!
6. Can attach to a lanyard so you always have it readily available!

Cons:
1. Today, the tip of the pen is just ... Gone? It was on there yesterday.
2. No soft grip. Metal isn't as comfortable as other pens
3. Ink becomes a little lighter in below freezing conditions outdoors, but still more legible then other pens in extreme cold.

Summary:
I got tired of losing my good click pens at work, so I decided to spring for a pen that I could attach to my lanyard. Attaching it has provided two benefits - first, I still have the same pen, which is a miracle since I ordered it October 1st!! Second, it is very handy on my lanyard. I can write what I need for work in many situations without even detaching it, and even after six months of use, I still haven't needed to use one of the included refills yet.

The reason it only gets four stars is because somehow between yesterday and this morning, the metal tip fell out and is now missing. It didn't seem loose at...

Francisco Narvaez: Después de 1 año con esta pluma estas son mis conclusiones:

PROS
-Si deseas una pluma resistente, que no chorrea, escribe bien y aguanta el uso rudo (traerla en la bolsa del pantalón, en una mochila, en una chamarra o solapa) esta pluma es para ti. No es por completo de metal pero lo suficiente para ser resistente.
-Si deseas una pluma "táctica", como posible opción para defensa personal, esto NO es para ti. No es suficientemente resistente.

CONTRAS
-Repuestos: no hay, no existen, nadie tiene. Si escribes mucho se te va a terminar a los dos meses y vas a tener que comprar otra. Busqué repuestos con el proveedor directamente y con varios distribuidores y nada.
-Precio: sin repuestos disponibles, no es un precio competitivo. Es mejor comprar plumas desechables en lugar de estar gastando cada mes o dos en esta pluma.

CONCLUSIONES: excelente calidad y durabilidad. Que no haya repuestos la vuelve una mala opción. Una lástima.

Justin Donie: DAY 1: Does NOT feel like an all metal pen (very light), but neither does the material feel like plastic; so far I like the look and feel; super gratifying click; writes well, more to follow. DAY 3: Enjoying the pen so far, super fine, smooth writing, extremely firm hold on pocket clip, enjoyable matte finish, no negative aspects thus far, seems a little pricey, but all-condition writing does tend to come at a price. DAY 5- Upgrading my rating to 4 stars, liking this pen a lot. Light and nimble in the fingers; rigid but lightweight metallic feel; smoooth, super-fine writing; matte finish holding up fine so far to daily office and home use; sharing shirt pocket with phone, etc. Feels very gratifying to use, no disappointments so far. DAY 13: LOVING this pen! SO light, puts no sense if weight in my shirt pocket, light to use, consistent clean, fine line, very happy with this choice. 18 MONTHS: The black color on the body doesn't hold up with prolonged use (flakes off), so if that's an issue to you, keep that in mind. I don't care so much about the surface finish, so I'm good to go.
