Preppy cartridge too short? (lemmy.ml)

Is the cartridge coming with Preppy really too short to reach the back of the barrel? Never seen that in a fountain pen and looks unnecessarily risky design. I am wondering if the vendor sent me the wrong cartridge.

@Stopwatch1986 Ah, you're right about the Safaris! Most cartridges are made to fit inside as many pens as possible, so there aren't many that work that way. The way they fit is strong enough that it takes a fair amount of force to dislodge it, at which point I'd be more concerned about the state of the pen than if the cartridge has been knocked loose.
