Just bought one from Amazon and got to say – very impressed. Ballpoint retractable with a super thick aluminum barrel. Very heavy – lots of mass to it. The refill inside seems to be a Schmidt and writes smoothly. The big dealbreaker is the pocket clip – it butts up against the barrel ribbing. You have to do a little smoothing out or a little bending to make it really pop loose if you actually are going to use the clip. If you plan to use it tactically, it has lots of mass as a fistload, very tough – punching through a car window is laughable – I would guess you could hammer it through 2×4’s. The finish is great. Super happy.
