Anyone try Interceptor speargun?

As in any activity for which there is a market that market can be segmented into separate categories and one of those will be for high end products. Like luxury vehicles there will only be so many buyers for thousand dollar plus spearguns, once I could have said thousand dollar spearguns, but prices have crept up in the last decade or so.

Some years ago I visited a recently opened dive shop and was amazed by a display of cross-sectioned scuba regulators and other almost museum quality displays which the owner’s wife told me had been done specially for their shop. That sort of thing done with precision is expensive! She said diving was a hobby for them and her husband had been very successful elsewhere and that they didn’t need to rely on the shop being profitable. They also carried a lot of spearguns, in fact I bought one from them. In three years they were gone and the shop closed, some hobbies can be rather expensive.

In the case of spearguns there is also product liability, happily this does not come up very often, but the implications of large financial losses in court cases has seen a number of gun builders leave the scene once they realize what can happen.
