The media could not be loaded. Provided you don’t lose it, this is the last pen you’ll ever need. Seriously, it is so incredibly sturdy. I expect it will outlast me and my children and my grandchildren. The machining is incredibly precise, the design is elegant and simple. I’m so glad I got the slim one because it is still plenty thick. it is about the standard diameter of a regular pen. I see that some reviews had trouble with the ink. I have had no issues whatsoever, and it seems to work like a regular Parker. i’m sure many people are buying this as a “tactical “ pen and certainly it is strong enough to serve as a weapon. However, I am fortunately, enough that I don’t think I will ever have to stab someone with this pen. More important to me is how lovely it is to use every day as an actual pen. If you have ever had the misfortune of a pocket full of ink, you will appreciate the design of this pen, which is both easy to deploy, but also easy to use and will not extend by accident the push button pens can. I also appreciate the very sturdy pocket clip because I actually like to clip a pen into my pants pocket the way many people do with their pocket knives. The only possible downside is the weight which feels very nice to use, but a little heavy in my pocket. Perhaps it would’ve been worth it to go with the titanium one, but the beauty of the stainless steel pen is truly remarkable. As you will see in my video, it appears to be a single piece of stainless steel until you unscrew the tip for ink replacement.

This is a fantastic pen. I definitely prefer the slim pen compared to the original size. The slim version is roughly the same diameter as a "normal" pen, but significantly heavier. Based on that, I would definitely not say this is light weight in any sense of the word. Lighter than the original sized version sure, but heavier than probably every other pen you'd encounter in every day life by a significant margin. That said, I like the weight of this pen. Its heavy, but not too heavy. I'd call it a satisfying heavy.The bolt action mechanism is very stout and fun to play with. The machining is excellent, and its almost impossible to see the line between the main body and the tip when screwed together all the way. You can barely feel it, and if you didn't know it was there, you'd probably never see it and think it was just 1 solid piece of stainless steel that they magically got an ink cartridge inside of.I haven't really messed with the clip and probably never will, as I've pretty much never used pen clips. Seems nice though.The only quasi drawback is that it doesn't take Pilot G2 ink refills. The Pilot G2 are my favorite gel refills, but they are too big and don't even come close to fitting. The upside is there are some pretty decent gel refills available, including Bastion refills. Downside is the Bastion refills cost almost twice what the Pilot G2 refills cost. But the Bastion refills are pretty reasonably priced compared to the other metal cartridge refills of that design. Also, I don't like ball point pens, but the ball point cartridge it comes with is pretty nice with pretty decent ink.Overall, its my 2nd favorite pen. My favorite pen overall is the stainless steel pen from Luke4Deals, but that is a different type of pen with a screw on cap. However, since I brought it up, it is also alittle lighter than the Bastion Slim Bolt Action pen. I haven't weighed them, so I don't know what the weight difference is exactly, but it is noticeable. They are both weighty pens though, and I like the weight of both.Overall, its an excellent pen, and I highly recommend it
