This ball point pen has a nice feel to it.  A bit more weight than your normal pen with a little more to the pen itself, allowing for an easy and firm grip.  The pen writes smoothly and comfortably.  I'm not sure that I would pay $20 for this on myself, but maybe this would be a good thank you gift to someone.  A recommend.

This is a great pen if you need something more discreet looking, it feels nice to write with too. I would probably buy this again.

This is a tactical pen that, design-wise, is a good compromise between your desk pen and some competitors that scream "weapon".  The Miren is an attractive, well-balanced pen that can be a defensive tool.  The flashlight is surprisingly bright, casting a narrow beam effectively to about ten feet (and can light up further in total darkness).  To be sure, the light is for inspection, not for intimidating an aggressor.  The screw-off "glass breaker" tip is very pointed and should be used with the utmost discretion.  If you prefer, you can take off the glass breaker and unscrew the pen a bit to sheath the ballpoint and clip the pen in your travel bag.  In that mode, the Miren can still be an effective compliance tool.  The weight, balance, functionality, price, and looks make this a 5-star for me.

Impressions:
Awesome!!!  Very light, and NOT bulky.  Even the wife likes to wright with it.  Great for joint locks and pressure points. Great for security situations that don't require lethal force. My go to pocket protection pen.  I carry this instead of a knife.  Very effective with the right training and less liability than a knife (check your local laws).  If someone is going to pull a knife, Im not going to fight back with a knife anyway.

I do like this pen, it doesn't hurt all that much, but it's enough to scare my friends. I recommend it.

Like the pen, use it for signing checks, and it works well.  Also do art work and it is good for sketching/doodling.  Did find one
time that I left it in a bag of pencils, carried it around for a while, but left the tip exposed, it did leak on sandwich bag in which
it was being carried.  Wiped it up and it worked fine - I was just surprised it leaked.

I carry and use this pen everyday. I think "tactical"  pens in general are really overrated as a defensive tool but for the price (under $25) I guess it's worth having around. Quality is pretty good.

I liked the pen overall but I bought it as a gift and it came with dead batteries, that's why it only got 4 stars. Otherwise it is a solid self defense tool and fits in your hand well when writting.

A slick little item that is actually a tactical pen and a glass-breaker (or self-defense weapon). I was concerned that it might be difficult to grasp with the thumb on top to achieve enough striking force to actually break glass but with the cap on the thumb has a natural place to rest to be most effective at striking. Will try it out in the neighborhood later tonight. (Just kidding!)

I purchased a Vipertek VTS-881 to carry on my person for self defense. In my state there are no laws or permits required to carry a stun gun. I do not have my CWP yet, and my boyfriend was uncomfortable with me not having some sort of protection.

Pros:

The VTS-881is a great size for a self defense weapon that will be carried on a daily basis, such as in a purse. Although small, the built-in flashlight is pretty bright and would definitely hinder an assailants eyesight in dark conditions. I cannot comment on the strength of the device itself as I don't have a willing test dummy. I will say for such a small device, when discharged, it is quite loud and menacing. I'm sure any assailant would think twice before proceeding to attack after a quick discharge from the VTS-881.

Cons:
I have two main complaints with the device. One is the battery. There is no built in shut off, so when charging you must watch the time to make sure you don't fry the battery or destroy your outlet. The second is the location of the switch when in the provided carrying case. The case is soft and snug on the on/off switch and the discharge button is exposed. If thrown into a bag or purse I feel the device could be accidently discharged if moved the wrong way or bumped by something. I feel the switch placements are optimal for actual use but that perhaps a hard shell case should have been provided to prevent accidental discharge.

Overall I am happy with the device and as long as it lasts, I would definitely purchase them for my friends and family as well.

My boyfriend currently has the VTS-195. Overall we have found the Vipertek devices to be great personal defense devices for an affordable price.

We have two defender pens and carries nicely in any vest or shirt pocket. Very inconspicuous and comfortable to carry. Gives peace of mind to the person carrying it.

Very nice pen, writes beautifully.  Also a nice weight, i.e. not too heavy for actually using to write with (it's lighter than some I've tried); however, the one issue I have with the pen is the screw on cap.  This makes it fairly secure (the cap stays on pretty well) but for one spoiled with cheap throw away pens you can click on or off, this takes some effort.  It also has fewer "grips" than what the picture shows (at least the pen I received), so is a bit more slippery than others I've tried.  Would I buy again?  You bet and as a tactical pen, in a pinch it should work well. Just hope I never really need it!

Does the job intended!  Pen writes well, and it is not too heavy to carry in shirt pocket.

Good pen for the price, I carried it for almost a year. My only complaints are that it looks more like a weapon than a pen (which I knew buying it) and that after some wear and tear the cap comes off much easier. The cap coming off and dropping the pen into my pocket is why I have stopped carrying it.

I worked in law enforcement and executive protection for many years, and I believe everyone should have a way to defend themselves in case of an unexpected attack.  I am able to remove the pen from my pocket and have it in a defense hold quicker than I could draw my weapon. This item is great because it's less lethal, and is very capable to ward of an attack with out (probably) causing great bodily harm.  I keep this along with a knife, and would use this way before I took it to the next level.

The tactical pen is very sturdy.  The cap stays on if you were to have to use it in a self defense situation.  The cap is also too hard to pull off, but after using it many times, it has loosened up a little.  The writing quality is also great, making this an excellent tool to carry with you daily.  Be safe!!!
