Good point below re: the concern with lead content. According to CountyComm (https://countycomm.com/products/brass-embassy-pen), these are made from C360 Free Machining brass, which contains between 2.5%-3.7% lead (https://www.onlinemetals.com/productguides/brassguide.cfm). Of course, this wouldn't be an issue unless it's an item you handle regularly... oh, wait.
However, this pales IMO to what I perceive as a more existential issue with this pen - the salient fact that nearly *every* pen is a "tactical" pen when you think about it (hint: the pointy end goes in the bad guy). Not only is the entire segment largely nothing more than a marketing gimmick, in most instances what are billed - either directly or indirectly (I'm looking at you, box of Ranger FMJ) - as "tactical pens" are not exactly tactically efficient. For instance, take this boat anchor... 114 grams?? If you think carrying a 1/4-pound brass pen in your pocket makes you tacticool, congratulations: you've just achieved Mall Ninja Level 10.
