Best Value Tactical Pen

rpker · May 10, 2011

Some unlucky bastard left a Z-301 on my desk this morning and I have "appropriated" it for my own use since the lawful owner has not come forward. Honestly it is a very sturdy pen and writes beautifully so I would give it back if the owner comes forward, but I would have to go get a new one.

Oh great, you found my pen that I left on your desk. I was looking for that. I can come pick it up. You'll have to give me directions to your desk though, I forgot where it was.

In the basement of the building where I work...surely you remember that, I'm sure you will have no problem finding it...big building, lots of woefully incompetent federal police standing around writing parking tickets and generally scrwing up my day...

Did you get to keep your stapler though?

The Zebra 701 seem to be very nice and feel very solid especially for the price.

I have Zebra 701 but modified it to take a fisher space pen cartridge. Now I can defend myself and write in zero gravity. Total cost was 11 bucks and a trip to office depot.

Thanks for the SS Sharpie advice, didn't even know those were out there!

I flew to New Orleans a few weeks ago, and my stainless steel Sharpie and my new Zebra 701 went with my carry on through the X-ray machine, and right back into my pocket. I'd hate to lose a $100 dollar tactical pen to the TSA.

Fisher refills totally kick a$$! I don't think any other pen is approved to be used in space.

Picked up a 701 at Wal-Mart based on the recommendations in this thread and I've been carrying/using it everyday since.

you can get a dozen zebra 301s on amazon for $20. http://www.amazon.com/Stainless-Ret...VUPE/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1306430389&sr=8-5
i'm thinking of ordering a dozen or 2 if anyone wants a smaller quantity i'd be glad to split them up.
anyone know if the 301 is really any different from the 701 other than the plastic grippy?

Per a lady at Zebra pens, the F-301 is about 1/2" shorter than the F-701, and it does not have the silent clicking like the 701.

When I want something classier I carry a Mike Parson pen, check em out in this article.- George

I think it is a waste of money. But tell me if i am wrong? Is it worth it to spend over $80 dollars on a pen ? 0_o"

If you collect pens I guess, for a decent pen no.- George

Before George introduced me to the 701, I carried the 301. It's a nice pen and writes about the same as the 701. It won't provide the leverage that a 701 will as that plastic will break but that's not really how he trains to use it anyway.
