My new concealed carry pencil

doobie · October 1st, 2008, 11:59 PM

Can anyone ID this for me? I know it was made sometime after 9/9/30 based on patent #1775178. It shoots .32/.38 cal blanks.

Thanks!

When I learn how to make blanks for it I will be sure to try to get a video demo of it. I have two it came with. I'd rather keep them than use them.

Think it was originally made for blanks???

Think you can modify that to shoot live rounds?

Yes, fairly certain.

I'm not a ballistic/bullet/firearm design expert, but I don't think it would be possible, and if it were converted one would most likely need a manufacturer license.

I remember something similar back in the late 60’s early 70’s made for firing tear gas cartridges and blanks.

Here is a website showing similar pen guns

What would the purpose of a blank-firing pencil be?

I used to have one of those listed on that website labeled "Colt Industries Tear Gas Pen Gun 38 cal". They shot a .38 round that was very short and were wadded with wax. I never shot it, but carried it in my car for awhile. I bought it in the early 70s....
