Hi Mark, It would have been better to buy locally, but here, the stock is poor, the dealers arrogant SOB's, and the prices too high. The gun was very well packed, and the packaging perfect when it arrived. The steel is strong and tensile, and a "shipping knock" could not have permanently bent the shaft. I would have to assume that the steel stock used to make the shaft was bent but slipped through the QC at the factory. Omer is still a top brand though, and solving this problem I will continue to be an Omer fan.

I would love to have an online US dealer who can touch the range and price of the Euro dealers (subprof, cascoantiguo, scubastore etc) but there is not one I know of. Please let us know if this changes.

Safe dives..
