thanx for the welcome!
honestly? it draws as well if not better! if you can see in the pics, there is airspace under the "knuckle" of the pen that allows for a full and easy draw. i'm really liking the taper of the tip, so much i'm going to make just a tip for around the house use. the rubber finger grip makes for an air tight seal between the barrel and the cart.
oh yeah ~ and no tell-tale LED giving my position away to narcs. just lil' ol' me thoughtfully chewing the tip of my pen as i contemplate the universe.
