Tactical Pen Do's and Don'ts

The Secret to Wielding The World's Most Versatile Weapon

Thinking about buying a tactical pen? What are you waiting for?

We're big fans of tactical pens at Survival Life; in fact, we even sell our own tactical pen capable of dropping a 280lb attacker like a sack of potatoes!

But just like with any weapon, great power comes with great responsibility — and tactical pens are no different. While it can be a versatile and effective weapon in the right hand, there are some common mistakes you need to avoid. Here are the do's and don'ts of wielding a tac pen.

Do:

  • Keep it easily accessible
  • Make use of all its functions
  • Use the double tap method

Don't:

  • Use it as your only weapon
  • Think you can use a normal pen in the same way as a tac pen

These are just a few of the things you need to keep in mind when wielding a tac pen. Read the full article below to learn more.
