## Description

desertcart.com : Pilot Metropolitan Fountain Pen, Retro Pop Red, 1.0mm Stub nib : Office Products

Review: I bought it for the nib - The Metro is a great pen that people swear by. It is a great value for what you get--a metal body! I love the nibs: always work great right out of the box. The colors are great--from work appropriate to kid-friendly. But honestly the step on the Metro digs right into my fingers because I have a high grip. But the nibs are swappable with my beloved Kakuno and even the Explorer--but they don't come with the option for the "stub" nib which is basically a cursive nib. So I picked it for the nib and will probably donate the body to a friend of mine who loves the Metro. Win-Win!
Review: Great Pen! (stub nib) - I have no complaints regarding unexpected issues. It takes proprietary Pilot cartridges, but that's just how it is. (More on that at the end.) This is my first stub nib, and only my 2nd pen overall. I got it just to toy with line variation in a different nib, and didn't expect it to be so smooth! It's not quite as smooth as my Beirluner M, but it's surprisingly close unless I'm writing very fast. I've used the included Pilot cartridge and Organic Studios "Nitrogen", and they both provide a wonderfully crisp line. I actually end up with my smallest and neatest penmanship with this thing, which isn't at all what I expected. I like the finish, weight, shape, and size of the pen. I'm pretty new to fountain pens, and I'm not consistent with whether I post or not. I've never had an issue with leaks, flow, or sliding my hand up too far and getting ink on my fingers from the feed. To sum this up, I've had zero issues, and a far better writing experience than I expected.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I bought it for the nib
*by J***. on June 11, 2025*

The Metro is a great pen that people swear by. It is a great value for what you get--a metal body! I love the nibs: always work great right out of the box. The colors are great--from work appropriate to kid-friendly. But honestly the step on the Metro digs right into my fingers because I have a high grip.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ beautiful pen, red, writes between dry and wet
*by G***. on July 7, 2021*

The red color was a deeper metallic red, more professional looking than plasticy, and is a metal pen, with a little weight, but not heavy. It's pretty good in my big hand, I write with it capped, and the cap does stay on well, don't sling it around too much. For people with little hands, this is pretty perfect uncapped. I bought a stub nib, or italic/calligraphy, and it is very noticeable and yet, very smooth and great looking on the paper. I thought the design would look cheesy, but in person, looks really nice. Worth the money. Came in the mail faster than expected. I like that it is not too wet because wet pens lay down a darker line with little shading, this babe will shade!
