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.

Yes, mine is the same as the one in the photo. I am sure the amount of friction is sufficient. Like Lamy and others I just couldn't see the benefit of losing the extra support point but it may be that Platinum want to be able to design short pens and use the same cartridges.
