I have an affinity for Fisher Space Pen Bullets.... Anything similar?

I am big into the EDC pocket dump community. I have a few Mont Blanc's for home use. I love to carry the Space pen bullet because it is so small. That said I don't always love how it feels to write. Is there any alternatives in a similar size that may offer a better writing experience, also must be extremely leak proof.

Maybe a Sheaffer Tuckaway, designed for women's purses and men's pockets.

Second & fifth from the left:

The Tucky came with the small clip or in a clipless format and as lever fill, plunger fill and touchdown fill.

If size is the real issues, try the Kaweco Liliput. And the Kaweco Sport might also be a good one to try.

I think Pokka Pens are used in the EDC community.

My first attempt at a decent pen. Bought because i had been reading rave reviews on here. Love it and i think another addiction is starting!

Machine era field compact in brass is the option I stumbled on that gets me the same personality as a space pen with a bit more robust feeling.

The Fisher Cap-O-Matic is my #1 choice in the Fisher range.

Its ridiculously inexpensive with great write quality especially with the 'broad' refill.

That’s one Fisher I don’t yet own.

I have to agree! I have the titanium large and small clicker and large and small turn bolt. The small ones take a Space pen or a Parker cartridge. They are well made and the seam between the lower and upper half disappears when they are put together.

I use them on the weekend or on trips.

For ball pens, the Fisher bullet is perfect. for Fountain pens, I have been surprised at how well the Travelers brass fountain pens writes. It posts to a standard sized pen and caps closed to nearly the size of the Fisher bullet
