Don’t know how many know, but these work great for marking turrets and other things.

Shhhh how is it supposed to be a secret if you tell everyone silver sharpies are awesome?
I carry a few around at all times now. Credit to my 1SG.

ok I havent thought of that.
It is ok if he just tells us, we wont tell anybody else!!
They are great to mark your mags and if you decide you want to remove it a little paint thinner or acetone will take it right off. I keep one of these along with a black sharpie in my data book.
I actually use these when doing HV cable terminations to write on the black cable and make marks. Never considered actually marking a turret with one though.
All of my mags are marked with the Silver Beast...Makes it easy when doing drills and firing in a line to tell the difference between glock .40 mags when everyones are scattered everywhere.
two weeks ago, 2 day pistol class, day one...the common question was "is this yours or myne?" day two..with the aid of a silver sharpie, it was "hey mother fucker, give me my mag back!".
its good stuff!
So how well do they stay on? Need to be in grooves so they don't wipe off? Bruce
I have not had any issues with the marks rubbing off on my turrets not sure about plastic mags...
I've marked several black Pmags with a silver sharpie and it's held up well
Mine have been marked for well over a year with rough training and mag drops to the ground every month. It has definitely faded but still clearly legible in my glock mags.
I put mu mark into a recess on my AR pmags and they have held up a lot better.
Yes they work very well and stay put for quite some time really! I use em for all sorts of stuff and try to keep one or two in with my gear.
I keep a black one and a silver one in my pocket all the time anymore. I think it's just about the ideal balance of "stays on" and "I can get it off if I need to". I do use the silver more than black.
They are a lot handier (and I feel better about buying) than red nail polish for marking sights, turrets, screw positions, mags, etc.
