I guess it would be the lightweight pipe. I think of my 60 some pipes only one is a sitter.
Never been into the sitters. And I have a wimpy jaw, so only light weight pipes for me!
Where did that one come from?!?!?
A custom piece from Mehmet Fatih.
What a lovely unique piece! I love it!
actually, Quite a many of the Older British straight billiards offer combination of light weight and flat shank.
Peterson Barrel is lightweight and sit's well, I have 3 in my collection and are great for a quick smoke.
Im not really a clencher unless in the yard or the shop so I’ll take a sitter. Something in the Spring Collection of the @Chasing Embers line 
If I could find a serious meer sitter of substantial weight it’s on!

That's cheating!
I never smoke on the run or while doing things - So I’m seated comfortably always
Pipe rests make a non-issue of whether a pipe is a sitter or not
Also I smoke mostly with pipe in hand so weight or size is not an issue either
I can see where those issues are important if you smoke on the run, walking in the woods, working on something or have a pipe in your mouth for most of the day
The ergonomics of pipe design is important.
Pipes that “hang” comfortably can make a difference - for some
(Not at all if you are @Chasing Embers)
This bulldog with a largish bowl is a surprisingly easy clench because of the very slight bend (just before the button) in the stem.

Definitely a Sitter for me. I prefer hefty pipes - like my women!!!
