The purists are going to hate me I'm sure but I do love the P16 as it is. It finally happened though, I was trying to convince myself it never would but I was kidding myself, it's only ever a matter of time with me, I customise everything eventually.
I had a go at my P16, not a big go, just a bit, it started with David saying the body on the new models were 2mm shorter. I know, it's only 2mm but I'm a man obsessed, I even shorten clearomisers FFS! So I nervously and carefully took a couple of mm off the body..
I've been waiting for David to produce some chamfered top caps for a while but thought I'd have a go myself, afterall what's the worst that could happen?
Well I'd done it now, so what the hell, I took a few mm off the horns and took the "fishmouth" back into more of a pronounced 'V'. I too a good few mm off the button too, just for luck. I knew it was going to leave the hole as I'd measured it first, but I thought it'd look interesting. I'm going to polish the brass pin visible inside it later on, for now I quite like the rough look it has.
It's now 68mm long and 57g in weight and mirror polished, works just as well as the day it was delivered but it fits my hand a bit better now..
