The Smith & Wesson Military & Police tactical pen series has some great features. I love the feel of these pens. They have a decent weight to them, so if you are using them like a pen, they actually feel like a nice, solid, upscale pen. They look good enough to carry into the boardroom, but since they are built from CNC machined aluminum, they function just as well out in the field. I really like the change S&W made with this series--they made the cap a pull off cap instead of a screw cap. They also built both ends indentical in shape and look so that you can then put the cap on the bottom of the pen. Much better than the original series. Here is the best thing about this pen--it works as a great little kubaton. If you like the idea of having some way to protect yourself no matter where you are, this pen is perfect for you. Review by T
