Rite in the Rain Weatherproof Olive Drab and Flat Dark Earth Mini Bolt-Action Pens - Black Ink, 2 Pack (No. TAC20)...

These Rite in the Rain, mini bolt action pens are the best. Ive been using them for about a month now. They have been great. They fit perfect in the hand. For it being a mini pen, its fits comfortably in the hand. I happy that it takes a full size replacement ink cartridge. I recommend it highly. Thank you. ZeeBooth for the great price.

Pros: very pocket friendly, clip has great retention, excellent texture, great semi-round triangular cross section, tough looking, durable Cons: the bolt is a little stiff, difficult to control, and loud if released with full spring tension. (not beyond a learning curve, though)

The media could not be loaded. Decided to pick up a pack of these after trying out RitR's larger bolt action pen (BK16). I wasn't sure about the smaller size and plastic construction of these guys at first compared to their larger, metal counterpart but I actually think I like these quite a bit more. The No. 20's plastic body, while lacking the premium feel of RitR's metal bolt action pens, is thick and durable - there's little doubt this thing can survive quite a bit of abuse. The pen has a noticeable heft to it despite its size, too, though it's still light enough that it easily disappears into the pocket. The bolt action is nice and smooth out of the box, making it a blast to fidget around with while watching TV. While shorter than a traditional pen, the No. 20 has a nice triangular shape that makes it easy to grip, and the textured portion on the bottom half provides a natural index point for your fingers. The pen also has a surprisingly nice weight balance as well. While you probably don't want to use these for extended note taking sessions, the pen is perfect for jotting down a quick reminder or phone number in a pocket notebook. The Fisher ink cartridge performs well, like most other of their RitR branded pens. I've mostly used mine with my No. 754 pocket notebook, and I've had zero issues with skipping. The pen's one achilles heel is the location of the bolt handle, directly behind the pocket clip. While that spot makes the pen easy to operate, I've had the handle get snagged a couple times when stowing or retrieving the pen. I'm also not certain how long the plastic pocket clip will hold up. While it seems sturdy, almost every plastic pen I've used long term has wound up with a broken clip.

The size & shape is excellent, perfect for pocket, purse, or organizers. The famous weatherproof ink works fine, but is not the smoothest writing stuff. Its fine for jotting notes in a little pad or tablet though, which is this pens mission. The lightweight plastic pen body feels a little fragile, but hasnt broken even when jammed in back jeans pocket. I like the bolt action. Also like that the hole in top of clip allows attaching a lanyard or bench loop.
