Well the swift has the cool retractable clip, but which it better to write with or which is better made? I write a lot eveyday mostly notes and contracts (with carbon copies) sign my name a lot also.

So which would you get? and once you got it would you modify anything? like puting a fisher nib in....

Edited to add that I'm open to suggestions on other pens that will clip nicely in my pocket and is a one hand opener :D

I like a lot of the retractable Lamys!
 
If Ball point, I'd go with the Lamy for the M-16 refill. The Broad tip is the best I've ever found for smoothness. But if you're thinking of the Rollerball, go with the Rotring. I believe their refills are made by Schmidt, which is about the best there is.

So like a logo or what?
 
How are those in the pocket? and is that a clicker or is that a cap?

I noticed those have the covited m16 refill.

Maybe a Accent or a 2000? What do you think?

Haveing a hard time finding the personal at on-line stores

It's a one piece. Twist to open. And the clip works great. Has a real cool factor.

All good. The 2000 is kinda lame with the Markolon, but Lamy just came out with a Blackwood version that's pretty sweet. The Rosewood version a couple of years ago was also a much nicer version. I like the idea of being able to swap out the grip on the Accent to fit my mood. But quite honestly, I found the rubber grips to be the best.

Hmm. It's still available on the Lamy website. Maybe you can call them and see if they special order from the factory? I know that's what I had to do to get some of my Lamy's. My local shop is Art Brown and they did it for me.
