PELLET PEN??

My son bought me a pellet pen for Christmas. I was wondering what am I going to do with a pellet pen and then it came to me while I was thinking about my 357. I tried it and it works great for loading those darn small pellets into the cylinder on the 357. 
We need to keep going and have fun doing it.

I knew someone would ask that. For me, it is easier to put those small pellets in the pen than it is to try to get them in the small hole of the cylinder. And the pen holds 20 pellets. I don't know, it just seamed like a good idea to me. 8)

I've had one for awhile but never found a good use for it.  But now that ou mention the 357... Hmmm...

Good idea Duck.  Like Carl, I've got one that I don't use either. Tried it with the break batrels and just found it as much a hassle to load the pen as it was just using my fingers.

I like to touch my lead, but, as a loader for a circular clip...cool re-purposing of a pellet pen.

I bought one of these a year or so ago thinking that it would help with the loading of my Crosman Fury springer. I guess the best I can say is that it doesn't make it harder to load :P. It's pretty much useless for loading my air guns with a fixed barrel. One thing for sure is that it is WAY overpriced! It is a extremely simple design. It's merely a length of plastic tube with a short piece of soft "rubber-like" tubing at one end and a plunger stuck in the other. A fifth-grader could have "invented" it. I had some sort of notion that it functioned like a mechanical pencil where clicking a button at the top would one by one, push pellets out the bottom. When you load the tube with pellets, the plunger sticks out of the top of the "pen" a distance equal to the stack height of the pellets. I think I paid ~$6 or $7 for mine. What a waste of money :-[. Since you received yours as a gift AND have actually found a practical use for it, I guess you're one of the lucky ones. Flex

  The one thing I find that the PP is good for. Keeping a few pellets handy for a grab and go.
I live in the boondocks and on occasion there is a critter that needs attention on short notice. I can just grab a gun and a pen. I don't have to try to fish a pellet or two out of a tin while in a hurry.

I see no use for a pellet pen with my Air Pistols and Air Rifles.   If it was a clicker that fed one pellet at a time then I could see it as useful for loading my Crosman 101, though as it is not I can see no good use for it.

I am glad that some people find good use for it though.

For keeping pellets handy I just keep a few in holes in a piece of leather that I keep wrapped around my main pocket knife sheath.

The ones I will grab if I need to go in a hurry (ie tornado flies through town, or similar):
Crosman 101 (My Original).
Crosman 140 (Sears 126-19300).

Crosman 1389.

Would love to see one that loads the pellets horizontally, so I could use them on fixed barrel guns, especially in .177 caliber.

I do, I find it easier to load my 2300KT.  The pellet doesn't get turned around in the throat or slip out of my fat little fingers trying to insert it correctly.  For me iit is a great tool...

They're even better for BBs, just dab it on BBs in a pellet tin, easily picks up, usually 16, then just
feed them into magazine.
