Question 1

Are tactical pens worth the money?

Accepted Answer

Tactical pens might cost you a bit more than a standard BIC, but you get plenty of value for your money. Not only do you have a durable and reliable writing instrument, but you get a self-defense weapon as well.

Question 2

Can a tactical pen replace your firearm or knife?

Accepted Answer

No, a tactical pen will never give you an edge over a pistol or knife – don't bring a pen to a knife-fight. The tactical pen is meant to round-out your gear, helping you cover all bases of your equipment and self-defense.

Question 3

What are the best applications for tactical pens?

Accepted Answer

Tactical pens are suitable for writing in your data on the range or in the field. They also make for make-shift weapons in hand-to-hand combat when you don't have access to any others. One of the unique features of this pen is the glass-breaking striker cap. You can use this feature in emergencies to break vehicle glass and retrieve passengers.

Question 4

Do I need to train with my tactical pen?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you need to train with your pen. Practice with your weapon, using 4-movements for poking and scraping. Drill those movements from the start position with your pen in your pocket. Remember how it took you a while to learn to write? It's going to take time for you to become proficient with using the pen as a weapon.
