I just bought a couple of the new .45 Cal pens that are being offered by Berea and a couple of others, just to give them a try.
They aren't bad, but the statement that they sound just like the .45 being jacked into the cylinder just doesn't come close! Sounds like a clicker pen, maybe a little more solid. Assembly is fine, but needing to use CA on the body and the lower trim ring (per the directions) is a little lame to me. Could have made them fit better. But it does slide down and back up like a .45. The .45 on the nose end of things is very accurate rendition, and overall, not a bad pen. Takes a 10mm tube, so I cut down a couple of carbon fiber, brass, and copper braid blanks I had to fit and think they look a lot better than using the camo as shown on their sample piece. Would really like to have seen an offering in Gunmetal or Antique pewter. Let me know what you think.---Rich
