In this configuration $25.00 tops. If it were in the package it was sold in, $40 to $50.00. FYI some can fire .22LR, be careful LEO may think it's zip gun.

Generally referred to as pen guns. Mine basically the same as yours. I screw the flare into the pen gun and prior to that mover the striker all the way back into the lock notch. I had a small boat and had a little survival kit made up that went on board when we went out and left when we went home. Security at the yard where the boat was moored was non existent. Think it was made by penquin. And yes those flares do make a heck of a flare. Frank

True but funny story that happened to one of our S&WCA members a few years back: I sold him one of these at a gun show and he stuck it in his shirt pocket, forgetting that he had cocked it with a flare installed. He went out to his new luxury RV Motorhome that night, took off his shirt forgetting the item was in his pocket. It fell out, of course, and when it hit the carpet, it went off. The carpet was some kind of synthetic material that immediate caught fire, and in an instant he had a raging fire in the middle of the bedroom. What to do? Take his new custom tailored expensive cowboy shirt he just took off and cover the fire and stamp it out. Fortunately his wife also grabbed a fire extinguisher and finished the job. The ten dollar item cost him several hundred dollars for new carpet, new shirt and scrub down of the RV to get rid of the smell of burning plastic. (Then he returned the flare gun to me for a refund! Said it was defective! ) Ed.
