It appears to me that the surefire was otpriginallyna twist pen but now is colicky-style. Is that right?
Current production?

I like Tuffwriter. They are well made and stout. I think I have have had the larger pen for more than 10 years, and the smaller one at least 8 years.
They are clicky pens.
Reviving this thread for a quick question. I've been carrying a Hinderer Investigator pen for a couple years and like the pen and the size ( approximately 5"), but call me lazy, I'm sick of unscrewing the cap everytime I want to use it. I'm looking at two bolt action pens similar in size, I don't want a click pen. Does anyone have a Microtech Kyroh mini or a Heretic Thoth? Thoughts on them if you do?
Dang. I'm sorry to see that the twist-pen is gone. I had one back a decade ago, when I was working in a field R&D role, and I loved how tough that thing was. The pocket clip didn't last that long, though, before it snapped off.
I don't like the "clicky" pens, because I keep "clicking" them, and it's a pattern of my own behavior that annoys ne.
While not marketed explicitly as “tactical”, Tactile Turn makes pens that check all the boxes. I like the “smooth operator” slim bolt action in titanium, personally. They have some other awesome designs with a few different mechanisms.
Well, 4 years later and I couldn't even tell you where those pens are. Lost in the last 2-3 moves since then or something. Right now, I'm more likely to have a Parker Jotter or Everyman "Grafton". I'm a big fan of the Grafton pens/pencils for the reasons mentioned above. Being able to use a G2 refill in them is very nice. The Rite in the Rain note pads I tote around aren't fans of the gel, so I tend to have a Fisher "Bullet" pen or a Pokka Pen handy as well. And this doesn't include the stash of pens in my backpack for work because the dang things always grow legs in an office.
