which handle?

[masterblaster]

i'm thinking of making a 100cm woody euro gun that will shoot a 7mm shaft with 2 16 or 18mm bands and i'm looking for a suitable euro handle that will be able to handle the load of the bands and have a female end. i think the new omer cayman handle looks great and would certainly handle the load, also i like the new cressi but i'm not sure of it's strength. i think both of these handles have a female end but i'm not sure. with the international crew of this forum i'm hopping some of you can share your favorite handles and also where one may be able to purchase one, on line if possible.

thanks, bob

Omer T20 handle is the way to go: strong, well engineered, not too expensive and relatively easy to find on-line in the Usa too (assuming you're american).
If you don't mind paying a higher price, the best handles and trigger mechs IMHO are Seatec Gold and Merou, but I don't think they're available in the U.S. and the shipping costs from Europe will kill you.

beuchat trigger mechs are also known to handle heavy loads (2x18mm),im not sure but maybe jimdoe2you (thespearfishingstore.com) sells them in florida. but in my opinion, if youre in the us and customizing a wooden gun, the best option would be to buy a trigger mech from aimrite, they have one of the best, if not THE best trigger mechs, and you can mold a wooden handle on Your grip, couldnt get more comfortable than this

Well I did a bit of reversion & think the rabitech units will make a good choice in fact I bought a few to try out so lets hope so?
