A few shots of my flame anodized Extreme Duty. I specifically requested one with more brown and gold than blue and purple hues to provide a nondescript, understated appearance. The finish was near flawless as received <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> ...

Hinderer Titanium Extreme Duty Pen - Open (excess NyoGel 760G along the threads shown)



Hinderer Titanium Extreme Duty Pen - Closed (and ready for action anytime, anywhere)



Hinderer Titanium Extreme Duty Pen - Disassembled (simple, KISS approach to elegance)



Pros:
1. Titanium carbide tip of the Fisher refill does double duty as an emergency glass breaker
2. Not quite an AP point, but the Fisher refill tip provides for improved penetration over a closed SureFire Pen.
3. Bullet cap provides the user with an instant compliance tool without the need to remove the cap.
4. Anodized titanium allows for increased strength and corrosion resistance over aluminum based contemporaries.
5. Grooved and fluted body provides for sure handling under duress in both wet and dry conditions.
6. Showcases two ends to strike with when fully deployed with the bullet cap threaded on the end attachment.
7. Standard end cap attachment offers a lanyard hole for secure attachment to most anything.

Cons:
1. Weight and length of then pen when capped requires getting accustomed to when the pen is used as a writing tool.
2. Threads are coarse and certainly feel it. I recall McGizmo mentioning something along the lines of the necessity of coarse titanium threads.
3. The spring tension of the clip keeps it firmly planted on the body of the pen. No problem there. Just that the clip has a tendency to rotate when the cap end attachment is being threaded on, or off. An anodized titanium clip rubbing against an anodized titanium body means the invariable loss of anodize in the end. Workaround? Hold the clip in place while removing and replacing the end cap attachment.
