Anyone know if these pens' pieces, that is, the portion that holds the refill, not the cap, just friction fit push together or do the two pieces screw together? Thanks in advance
There's a rubber o-ring that keeps it quite secure with friction; I've had these pens for years and never had an accidental decapping.

oiralireThanks, but I wasn't really asking about losing the cap. I was asking about how the two pieces of the body of the pen are held together. Is it also just friction fit? Having read a bunch of Amazon reviews, it seems that there are different versions of this pen with some of the barrel pieces just friction fit while others screw together.
Well as I said it's secured with friction. My point with the cap was that the friction fit also performs well. As far as I know, all Bullet pens are friction fit.

oiralireThanks for the clarification. Much appreciated. Just joined the drop. Having never owned a Fisher Space Pen, time too see what all the fuss is about. I remember the commercials from my youth in the early 70s. Long overdue.
OhItsNotJoe@OhItsNotJoe Fisher offers other models that are threaded to screw on, and some which are click pens. But the Bullet is (somewhat obviously from the pictures...) 100% friction fit.
OhItsNotJoeI might have answered the wrong question. I was refering to how the caps are held in place on the pen body, not how the refill is replaced. Thanks for the "heads up."
stoutdogNo problem bud, I was answering Swymors question " I was asking about how the two pieces of the body of the pen are held together" in which he was referring to the body and not the cap. Just trying to keep everyone well informed.

OhItsNotJoePretty definitive if ya ask me. Assuming of course they are all manufactured to the same standard. Thanks, really appreciated.
