Do you mean an insulin pin? 5\8 inch long?

the gauge is not the problem for deep , it's the inches ...
use a 25ga 5/8" for tris

If your using winny its water based, you'll be fine. Water based gear does not have to be injected deep like oil. Hell, my friend sub-q's the winny.

As the others have stated its not the gauge that is the problem (as long as the gear will pass through it), but it should be atleast 5/8" long...

I used 27 ga. 1/2 inch needle for all my tren and test prop injections (delts, glutes, quads). I gained 27 lbs on that cycle and the day after pains were very real so I'm sure I was hitting muscle. If you think about it, your skin is only about 3 mm thick. Unless you have a thick fat layer, 1/2" is plenty long enough to get into the muscle.

They are fine, I have known of guys to use them. Cut the plastic protector at 1 inch and use it as a stop.

Even for glute shots a 1" is all you need, unless you're realy fat-- in which case you shouldn't be doing roids. 21-23 used to be the standard until everyone got hip to the fact that you can only get the oil in so fast before it'll cause a welt under your skin. A 25 is perfect. A 27 would require too much pressure, especially in the position for glute shots. Insulin needles are good for HCG.

Also, don't go lower than an 18 for drawing or you'll tear a hole in the vial stopper. A 20 is just right.
