I write at a 50 degree angle and that makes a lot of my pens get off the sweet spot like my Lamy 2000 and such. Generally just a little nicer. From the responses of my last post, a lot of people suggested that a Sailor 1911, Platinum 3776, and pilot custom 74 are good pens similar to the Lamy 2000 price point. I did not like mine, and sold it. The cheapest you will find a new 1911L is probably around $125. Of course, if you are not looking for something very fine, ignore all of this. I just got a Platinum and Sailor pocket pen in the same size a little while ago, and based on that, I'd say Sailor pens have a little more tooth. Objectively the Sailor nib is 21k and the Platinum nib is 14k. Several functions may not work.

My Platinum 3776s are much more direct - it’s almost like a brittle feeling of the paper’s feedback transferred into the body of the pen. The SF gives a totally different experience, let's not consider that one.Contrary to the experience of others here, I find that the Sailors write a bit 'rougher' than the Platinum M. All these pens give the pencil-like feedback, but my #3776 writes more like a soft, say 4B pencil, while the Sailors write like a HB of H. The Sailors also have more audible feedback.

The Sailor feedback doesn't slow the writing down at all, while the Platinum does a little, but in saying that, the Sailor nib is both broader and much wetter, which makes it glide across the page a little more easily. No dig at the 3776, it's a less expensive pen.The 3776 SF/SFM/SM will be a bit softer. Bit more precise. However, I can't write with anything thicker than an EF nib..
