Tactile Turn's Side Click in a Special Edition camo finish, available here in Desert, Space, and Gray. The camo is machined and finished into the pen body rather than printed on it, so it does not wear off the high spots the way a coated pen does.

The Side Click
The side click is Tactile Turn's answer to the problem with a top knock pen, which is that you cannot work it without changing your grip. The button sits on the side where your thumb already is. It is a small thing until you have used one for a week, at which point going back feels wrong.
Short or Standard
Standard is the full size pen. Short is the one that rides in a pocket organizer or a shirt pocket without sticking out. Both take the same refills and both have the same click.
Made in Texas
Tactile Turn machines everything in Dallas, Texas. Will Hodges started the company turning pens on a lathe and it has stayed a machining operation rather than a brand that outsources. For a Texas shop to carry a Texas pen maker is about as straightforward as it gets.
Why You'll Want It
Special Edition finishes do not stay in the lineup. When a camo run is done, Tactile Turn moves on to the next one.
