The Differences Between a Sailor 1911S and 1911L

*By popular demand, the audio has been remastered and the music changed to fit the content of the video more appropriately. Tom from Goldspot Pens gives a hands-on demonstration and comparison of Sailor's most popular fountain pen model, the 1911 series.

I cannot tell you how glad I am that you changed the music 🙂

Great video!. I now understand the differences. Please do more like this.

[@RebirthBeyond]

I wish you showed the size differences unposted.

[@InktronicsBlog]

Thanks for the video.

How does the 1911s compare to the pro gear?

[@flabbybum9562]

Great content. But sounds like you recorded it from a cubicle in the Gents' bathroom.

[@MarkoMarkolovic]

This video is very helpful. How does the sailor 21 it compare in size to the #15 Pilot Nib?

[@Sillybb9142]

How does the grip diameter of 1911L compare with a Pelikan 600?

I enjoyed your text review of these pens, and the macro images are excellent (I'm a photographer). But why on earth did you show linear measurements in imperial inches? Who has a ruler with hundredths of an inch scales? It makes no sense. Metric is king in the real world, my friend. But well done. And why did you record your video in your bathroom with the toilet filling with water? The sound really lets you down. Please record the sound properly.

Thank you for your comment, James. You'll be happy to know that in the 5 years since we've posted this video, our audio and video quality on the channel has greatly improved. Plus, we always include measurement in both inches and millimeters.

But is the converter for the 1911S the same size as that for the 1911L (are they interchangeable)? Thanks, Tom KC3QAC

[@GoldspotPens]

Yes, the converter is interchangeable on all Sailor 1911S, 1911L, 1911 King of Pen, Pro Gear Slim, Pro Gear Regular, and Pro Gear King of Pen models.

anyone know the inks?

[@KobieK]

Of course you will promote the 21K one because you make more money when you sell the more expensive products. I have both, and I also have the Platinum 18K nibs. No difference whatsoever. Go for the cheapest option people

[@cd3694]

I wish I had gotten the L. The S is too small

[@cursumperficio119]

Unlistenable audio.
