    Quick Pin Question

    Few days ago I ordered my usual supplies, one of which is 25 gauge 1" needles. Well yesterday they came in and I got 25 gauge 5/8" needles. Will they do for IM injections? They sure do look much shorter. Thanks!

    Thanks Bio! I actually just used one in the upper quadrant of my glute and I really didn't notice much difference from the 1" really. I did make sure to push it in deep enough to make an impression while injecting. Thanks again man.

    If you're lean enough...quads and shoulders with 5/8" work fine. Haven't done glutes with them though

    Yea their perfect for quads and shoulders. But I don't like them for glutes. Got to go with 11/4 in for them. Thanks again guys.
