Danger has a way of presenting itself when you least expect it. That's why Gerber, in collaboration with law enforcement professionals, developed the Impromptu Tactical Pen. Sure, it's a pen and it'll serve to take notes like a good pen should, but it's not your average writing implement. Made from machined steel with a tempered window-shattering tip design, the Impromptu Tactical Pen can be used to break a windshield or defend yourself from an unexpected attack.The Impromptu Tactical Pen combines Gerber's decades of experience crafting tools with valuable input from police officers to offer a utilitarian tool that could quite literally be your ticket to safety. During interviews, officers agreed that the most important tool you can carry is the item that happens to be in your hand, which more often than not turns out to be a pen. So Gerber designed a pen that can write in all conditions and is rugged enough to handle the unexpected. This USA-made, push-button pen features a "Rite in the Rain" ballpoint pen cartridge that is effective in wet and dry conditions, and the tool's machined steel body is stout enough to rise to the unexpected call of duty.Sure it's stout, but it fits easily into your pocket like an ordinary pen and will become part of your daily routine, on the job and off. Whether you're in your vehicle or responding to a call in the field, it's easy to make the Tactical Pen part of your routine equipment. But unlike an ordinary ballpoint pen, this one will be there when you need more than just a writing implement.

I didn’t expect this pen to be so nice to use. I liked it so much I also ordered one as a gift for my dad. I now have every color they make, and have one at hand at all times. One lives in the car, one in my work folder, one in my purse.

This pen is great. It's heavier than it looks, and it writes great. The slim size fits nicely in my 5.11 pen pockets. The click and metallic ring it makes when you push the top button is crisp and satisfying. I thought the glass breaker point would get annoying in a pocket, but I hardly notice it. I would recommend it, but just be prepared to work to keep someone from walking off with it when they borrow it.

Like it so much I bought my brother one... I ended up losing mine and had to get another one...however the one I lost turned up and now I have to keep both... :-)
Good weight to it, writes great, will be solid in time of need if there ever is one. No bigger than a regular pen... really like this one. It's the only tactical pen I've purchased, so nothing to really compare it to but seems to be a great pen for the money. Not sure I'll try any others even if I lose both of mine. I'm sure I'll just get another one of these.

Gave 1 to my wife for her birthday and got 1 for myself. I carry mine everyday. Pen works great. Have not had to break any windows yet, but I am sure that would work great also. By the way, this site had the best price by far on this item.

This pen is a simple but rugged, functional utility item. I thought the price through this site was the best price I could find. Those who have seen it have expressed approval and declare they would also like to own one.

I use this every day. It has nice weight, writes well, and hasn't let me down yet. Highly recommend to anyone who never wants to buy a pen again.

This pen is so nice I’m going to order another for myself (1 in purse, and 1 in car) and one for my dad for his upcoming birthday.
