SMOOTHERPRO Solid Brass Bolt Action Pen Compatible with Pilot G2 Refill Stainless Steel Clip Heavy Weight for Tremor Parkinson Arthritic Hands Copper Plated Black (RG335)

I bought the copper plated black pen. Feels solid, and is a bit heavier than a standard pen. If you expect an expensive pen to feel different, then this is what you want. Bolt action is smooth. Clip is very tight so it won't fall out by accident. Writes scratchy at first, but the tip breaks in quickly and now it writes very smooth. It is very well balanced - it will stand on the flat end with no difficulty. Assembly is well crafted, with a rubber gasket as well.

I'm not a review giver but this pen is really great for the $$. The bolt action is super smooth and fast, machining is very nice. The dark brass finish is beautiful and being heavier it feels great in your hand, the clip is heavy duty as well. Standard refill so lots of options on replacement cartridges. I will probably try out a titanium version next, I'm a pen person and this one is already right up there among my top favorites.

Beautiful pen. Love the bolt action.

Just received the black brass version this morning. Shipping was quick. But that’s just condiments. Let’s get to the meat and potatoes. •My pen did come with a black box and a foam cutout. Simple, but kept it safe. •Aesthetically pleasing. Gives off some steampunk-ish vibes. •Has a noticeable weight. It’s not overwhelming, but you definitely know you’re not holding a Bic. It’s a direct result of the pen being solidly built. •The g-2 insert is a g-2 insert. But, after reading another review, I did find that sharpie S-gel inserts work as well. You will need to trim roughly 1/16-1/8 off the end of the cartridge to get the mechanism to work smoothly. Sharp scissors or a utility knife works. Takes less than 15 seconds. But use your head if you opt for the knife. •my first bolt pen so I don’t really have a point of reference. The action is smooth. No rough spots with either the g2 or the S-gel. •The clip also seems sturdy, anchored to the pen on two risers with torx screws. It is a tight clip. If you try to force the clip on to thicker materials, it will cause problems. It’s not built for that. I read a review where the clip broke from Bob the buyer forcing it to clip on their jeans pocket. It’s not only going to damage your jeans, it’s also likely to stress the risers/screws, as Bob found out when his clip broke. Don’t be like Bob. If you’re determined to clip it to your pants pocket, simply take what appears to be a t-6 screwdriver and loosen the screws a little. That should allow the play needed. I say that with a grain of caution. Any tampering with the screws just increases the chances of them working themselves out and you suddenly finding yourself without your new pen. Finally a negative, and a mild one at that. •For me, the barrel is a tad thin where you grip it to write. I don’t have gigantor hands, but they are a little bigger that average. Combined with the weight, I could see some hand fatigue coming into play with extended writing sessions All in all, you won’t regret the purchase. The only reason I put 4 stars is because of the barrel and my hands, not because of a defect with the product. If I’d been able to I would have marked it 4.5.

I like a heavier pen and this one has some weight to it. I also like the mechanism for bringing the pen out and back in.
