I work in a shipyard as a QA Manager/ QC inspector, so I routinely write in the rain, upside-down, etc. One of my tasks is to render confined spaces safe for human entry before the start of work each day; I sign nearly 100 logs each morning. These space pen cartridges last years, and never fail until they're empty. Right now I carry a cap-o-matic in my jacket pocket, but wanted to also have a backup in my pants pocket. I chose the bullet because it wouldn't wear a hole through my pants. I wasn't sure how I'd like the raw brass pen since other buyers had mentioned the patina coming off on their hands and the associated smell. This hasn't happened with mine. It looks really cool with no finish, and my pocket seems to actually keep it pretty shiny. Actually, when the "cap" is put on to the pen, it wears a spot that I imagine taking the finish off of a lacquered pen anyway. So in the long run, this will look better. For years, I have carried a cap-o-matic, and I think the extra effort of removing the cap and installing it on the back of the bullet pen is a pain. The ultimate pen would act like a cap-o-matic and have the same size and shape as a bullet. Unfortunately there is no such thing (at least from Fisher), and the cap-o-matic is too big to carry in the pocket without eventually ripping a hole in your pants. For now, I will continue carrying the raw brass bullet pen in my pants pocket, but I will also continue to look for a smooth, rounded, compact pen that doesn't require disassembly and takes Fisher Space Pen cartridges.Read full review

I love the Fisher Space Pen. It’s small but substantial, sleek and handsome, practical yet amazing. I don’t write notes on the moon but when I write on my vertical wall calendar, other pens manage two letters before I have to shake the pen to get more ink. The Space Pen sails through the task - even upside down. I love it!

Very cool iteration of the bullet space pen. The raw brass takes a patina very quickly and looks all the more handsome for it. years ago I had a silver/chrome space pen, and I like this one much better.

I would recommend the brass bullet Space Pen which is a shiny type brass compact pen that writes very well, unlike several other black bullet Space Pens that I bought locally where the ink was spotty, possibly old stock, and troublesome - -"Houston, we have a problem."- When you take the cap off this brass bullet Space Pen the opening edge of the cap has a slight sharpness to it with very thin metal to the cap itself. It almost feels cheap for how lightweight the pen actually is, I prefer a heavier pen. However, I may begin to like it more once the patina begins on the brass. The brass Space Pen will make you feel like you're in weightless space for how lightweight the pen feels. It is very compact, a good value pen that writes very well. I just wish there was more weight to it.
