Notes on Brass:
This is a disclaimer for all you folks who slept through high school chemistry class or somehow not aware of the nature of brass. All metals will change colors and looks over time depending on use, environment etc. This is especially true with brass. This means it may get a darker, may change colors with patina, or it may get shiny and polished where it is rubbed by another material (like say your pocket). If ya want it to stay all shiny and new looking, you will have to keep polishing it with a product like Brasso or any of the homegrown solutions you can find with an internet search. OR, you can accept that what make brass a cool material is that your piece will change over time and tell its own stories and truly become one of a kind.

Lock and Load
Nottingham has multiple robust advancing mechanisms to choose from, so you can dial in both the feel of your pen and the function to your environment and preferences!
Nottingham's TiClicker is Nottingham's take on the classic "top-click" design. The mech is machined from Titanium for a light-yet-robust feel, with an ultra-smooth action. Unlike your run of the mill plastic click pen, the TiClicker mechanism operates on a machined cam track design, so the rear button moves in and stops without the hard "click" sound, but a more stealthy, well oiled machine noise.
The TiButton Single Lock is a simple to operate and robust mechanism, built to be reliable and offer a repeatable locking and unlocking action long past the point of your thumb wearing to the bone. The lock utilized a spring loaded plunger on the click button that rides in a groove on the click body. This Single Lock variations locks in the closed position while offering a sturdy mechanism that is fast to retract! To deploy the pen tip, simply press down the click button like normal. By doing this, the plunger is moved to a wider part of the click body groove that, when releases, locks the plunger in the "down" and extended position. To close, just press in the plunger and the cartridge will retract under spring tension!
The TiButton Double Lock mechanism locks in both the open and closed position, making accidentally writing in your pocket a thing of the past! To deploy the pen tip, simply press in the locking plunger, then press the click down, and release the plunger to lock the pen open. By doing this, the plunger compresses into the button, and when the button is pressed, is moved to a wider part of the click body that, when released, locks the plunger in the "down" and extended position. To close, just press in the plunger and the cartridge will retract under spring tension!
The NottaBolt mechanism is Nottingham's take on the oh-so-satisfying to opperate bolt action mech. Incorporating their robust mech base, the NottaBolt has a "u"-channel cut into the outer housing to guide the low profile bolt handle into the 'clicked' position. With a flick of the thumb, the bolt snaps open and retracts the ink cartridge. Utilizing the 'button' part of the TiCLicker and TiButton gives the Nottabolt the same profile, with a brand new feel. It's not quite a click mech, it's not quite a bolt action... it's a NOTTABOLT!
Which Pen Is Right For YOU
Nottingham Tactical Pens come in three distinct sizes: the G2 Mini, the Standard (also known as the "Parker Style"), and the G2 Full Size. Each one offers a full sized grip, allowing the pen body to hit the webbing between index finger and thumb. Each is fully capable of extended writing sessions. The G2 Mini excels at being a small and easy to carry option in your pocket or in small cases. The Standard is the jack of all trades, easy to carry without being too big. The G2 Full Size still can fit in your pocket, and offers the most stable writing experience.
Ink Compatibility
Aside from the physical size of each model, the size determines which ink cartridges can be utilizes. The G2 Mini accepts the Pilot Mini G2 refill (note: it does NOT take the full-sized Pilot G2 refil). The Standard accepts all "Parker Style" refills, like the Parker Gel, Schmidt Easy Flow, Retro 51, etc. Finally, the G2 Full Size accepts standard Pilot G2 refills along with any other refills that follow that pattern, such as the Pilot V5 and V7.
