Must be prefaced with the fact that I purchased this as my first gun- so I'm a noob. Probably more power than I need, but diving in places where the power might be put to good use if I'm lucky.
My third time taking this speargun out, about 3 weeks after purchasing, the line release trigger now slides forward positioning the loop of line such that a light breeze will push it right off the trigger release. There's an allen key hex bolt that seems to influence this right above the mechanism. I tried tightening it, which seemed to fix it briefly. Then, took it out the same afternoon, and my first shot went fine. Unfortunately, as soon as I tried to wrap the line for my next shot, I found that the trigger release had reverted to sliding forward so wrapping line around it was once again not really possible.
Would love to hear advice from SpearAmerica regarding this issue, and may take it into the shop in the coming weeks.
When it comes to pipe guns, everyone knows that you get what you pay for; they are inexpensive and typically don't give you high performance. I tested this gun on a recent trip to the Caribbean and it was quite shocking. In this lightweight pipe gun, I found the accuracy and mobility that I have become accustomed to in much more expensive guns. This will be a true game changer for the budget minded diver as it will deliver them performance that I haven't seen in any other similarly tiered gun.
