As my first roller spear gun it has been a learning curve. I found the gun to be good and I shot some good fish with it. My first time out I did find the trigger mechanism a little complex to load. I'm not sure if it's normal or not but the trigger sometimes stays back and the spring load did not bring it back to ready position I had to manually push it forwards. I did have trouble loading it in the water as I did not realise this was happening.when I had it set up and it shot well I found it to be powerful and accurate. I did get muzzle wrap but later found out it's normally due to the tension on the shooting line to reel. I did appreciate the customer service. I can't say the automatic safety on the handle is my favourite but I think it's a solid gun and I'm pleased with my purchase.
