Funnily enough, I actually own this particular model (and its companion ink, because... why not, right?) and it writes like a dream, though for me, I have to write with it unposted (not sure why, but... meh)
I guess if the cap extends the pen to an uncomfortable balance, then this can upset your experience . Out of curiosity, do you prefer Japanese or western pens?
I wish I liked PG slims, but my hands are too large for these as well as most vintage pens. The PG standard, however, is perfect for me, and I much prefer the 21k nib, which is--to me--a much more pleasant writing experience.
I have smallish hands. Before i decided on getting the pro gear slim i chanced upon the Jinhao 82 and bought 3 in one go for a test run. Needless to say im so glad i decided to experiment with these first, because they’re relatively the same size as the PG slims and i don’t particularly like writing with them for long periods. For pocket pens they’re ok. I would go with the bigger sized Sailors.
I got a Jinhao 82 because I was curious about the profile, but I learned this size pen is painful for me to write with even for just a few minutes. I like it's size, in theory, but it's just too narrow. I'd like to try the standard size Pro Gear some day.
@@PenFriends Yeah I think 2mm would do it. It's RIGHT in that just too small zone. But I'm learning to enjoy feedback so I gotta try a 1911 or 1911L. I've sustained a lot of hand and wrist injuries in my life so small pens unfortunately don't work haha. Actually, finding a good fountain pen really changed the whole experience of writing for me.
@@PenFriends Awesome! Right now the Leonardo Momento Zero is pretty much a perfect fit for long writing sessions. Really loving that one as far as size and weight.
