Great pics! You can tell they really put a lot of love into those

PBY or Catilina Flying Boat. ( full of Lion Fish ) had to move them so I could sit down.105 feet deep.
I don't remember the location at this time.;)
DonI think I've got a pretty good idea where that is, trying to get my work to send me out there for a few months

Wow! A hogue grip on a speargun... my brain just exploded

I'm not quite sure where I stand, but I have to disagree just a little with this statement. A rifle, or pistol, only has one dangerous end. I'm not saying that the recoil from an accidentally discharged firearm can't hurt you, but the recoil from a 6 lb rifle firing a 180 grain bullet is nothing like that of a 4, 5, or 6 band speargun.
Very true, I had a band slip while unloading my gun once in baja, and I got knocked in the huevos so hard that by the time I picked my head up I was another 30 yards from the boat... Would accidental firings be prevented with a safety though? I thought those just locked the triggers but didn't do much for the actual mechanism, but then again what I know about gun building just about fits on a post-it note

A friend of mine is just getting into the sport and I'll be taking him to some easy entry reef fish spots in pv the next couple of weekends if the water looks good, you're welcome to come too if you'd like. It's not wsb country, but def a good intro place to get your feet wet and not worry about thick kelp while targeting reef fish

In my opinion the only need for a safety would arise from someone using the gun in an unsafe manner. Unlike handguns we know for sure when our guns are loaded and need to make sure that the pointy end isn't aimed at anyone. I think everyone's dove with at least one diver who swept their gun across them while in the water, safety or not I'd still have peed my suit just as much.
It would be great if there could be a glock style safety that automatically disengages when you pull back on the trigger though.

Out of curiosity where was this, lake Mead? Every time I've gone to vegas I wanted to do a spearing run out there but just never made the time. Looks like a blast though!

Thoughts of them fork tail critters are keeping me up at night, sooooooon

Miguel T,
is that you? Welcome!
Sure is man, long time no see! I hope things are going well out there, the seabass population has really rebounded since you're not out here shooting them all

Hi guys, my name's Miguel, some of you I know already and others I look forward to meeting. Haven't really been active on spearo forums in a while but Joe Acevedo gave me a bead on this great bicker free site, so thanks in advance to all of your for the huge reduction this site's gonna have on my work productivity
