I see many reviews stating the description is misleading. That is not true. The naming of the refills is similar, unfortunately. Parker style refills are know as G2 refills. They're only called parker refills because of the popularity of the Parker Jotter. The Pilot G2 refills after known as Euro Style. Unfortunately, Pilot used G2 as the pen name, which is what now causes confusion. But if you look at the photos in the description, you can tell it's not a Pilot G2 refill. I hope this helps people out. I've also attached photos of the details each type of refill has.*I do not own this pen, so disregard my rating. It will be purchased soon tho and will update accordingly.

It's a good pen. Nice heft. Pretty color. I just don't like the way it slips out your fingers. I also don't like the way it writes.

I now own 5 Bastion pens and one pencil, so I guess that speaks to my opinion.  This model I own two of and it's my favorite.  You will not be sorry buying one of their products.  The refills don't seem to last as long as the Parker they emulate, but they also are less money for a Bastion refill.

The design of this pen just wasn't for me, my grip or writing style.
