With this pen, Pilot moves closer to a softer grip on their G2 series; that's my
biggest complaint about Pilot's gel pens, which I think are superior for writing
(only Pentel's 1.0 ener gel comes close, IMHO). I wrote to Pilot to congratulate
them on the grip, and asked if we could (please) expect more softer grips for
the G2 series...she directed me to the Center of Gravity pens, but many of us,
including me prefer gel ink. This pen is a B+...

This pen barrel also fits the Zebra Sarasa Clip refills. It does not, however,
fit the "original" Sarasa pen that is sold on this site. The 0.7 mm and 0.5 mm
Sarasa Pens without the binder clip feature sold in regular American office
supply stores do fit this pen barrel.

To add on to my previous review, I just discovered that this pen barrel also
takes all the Signo RT refills! This pen is amazing! It takes Pilot Frixion 0.5
mm refills, Pilot Frixion Point 04 refills, Pilot G2 refills, Pilot Precise V5
RT refills, Signo RT refills, and Zebra Sarasa 0.7 mm refills (the kind you can
buy from your local office supply store). I am getting my package of Zebra
Sarasa (original and push clip version) from JetPens tomorrow and hope that they
fit this pen as well. This pen is the king of retractable pens! The Signo
Premier 207 pen does not look nearly as professional or elegant as this pen body
does, but does take Signo and Zebra refills. This pen from Pilot can take
refills from all three major pen companies. This pen is a bit on the heavy side
and is unbalanced, but it looks classy and takes so many types of pen refills I
don't really mind. This pen is a great buy!

Smoothness: Okay
Precision: Okay for 0.7 mm
Weight: Heavy
Grip feeling: Unbalanced, cool metal, and heavy!
Overall impression: Not recommended unless you want to know how a heavy Gel Ink
pen feel like. I can't get used to the weight.
I recommend Uni-ball Signo 0.7 mm which I believe is smoother than this but is
evenly balanced and not heavy!
