Sailor 1911L

The feedback is definitely there on my 1911L, but I'm just not seeing it as over-the-top great as is often mentioned. As much criticism as German pens often get for being overpolished(and I do find modern Pelikans way too smooth), I find vintage Montblancs and pretty much any MB Oblique grind to have really good feedback. The Sailor definitely has more, but it's almost to the point of being scratchy and not pleasant to me. Again, I like "sharp pencil" feedback, but this goes just a bit beyond that.

I’m basically giving this two stars pending receiving ink or an adapter. Be aware, this unit was not sold with any ink cartridges and is also not sold with an adapter. Those are extra purchases. At this cost, at the very least, some complementary cartridges should be included in the package. I’ll be...

The pen feels great in the hand, but I couldn't learn to get along with the nib, even after smoothing it a bit. The only fountain pen I've owned that made my handwriting look worse. Least: Took the plunge on a Sailor 1911L with a 21k MF nib, and now I have two more to go along with it.

A bit disappointed, as it does not write nearly as good as the Mont Blanc.A bit scratchy, Not as smooth, and ink flow a bit weak.

Mine is a soft medium, and it is just beautiful. Plenty of ink capacity too with a CON-70. I think I paid $140 for mine from PenSacchi. You may be able to get a Sailor Pro Gear or 1911L for under $200.

The pen is lighter than others at this price point. Appearance is fine and comparable to others. First, none of my cartridges worked in pen. Searched for the converter and was not one, again almost unheard of at this price point. I was assembling the package for return when I decided to use one of t...

OK, don't buy a Lamy 2k, there are far better options like Sailor 1911L or Pro Gear, Pilot Custom Heritage 823, Platinum President, Visconti Homo Sapiens, Pelikan M1000 series, and a whole bunch of pens a lot more expensive...

I have only had this pen a couple of days but I thought I would give some of my early impressions. It feels wonderful in my hand and seems almost like it is a custom fit. I was amazed that as soon as I inserted the first cartridge, the pen began to write flawlessly. It was absolutely stunning. It fe...

I have different EDCs. My EDC for the office is a Sailor 1911L. It only leaves my pocket to go into my hand and back again. Everywhere else a simple Kaweco Sport. It works great, super portable, and I don’t really care if I lose it.

I just received this pen and I'm already enjoying writing with it! It fits my hand well and definitely writes as smoothly as many others attest. My one gripe, and its minor, is that the pen did not come with a converter. A pen this expensive should include it!
