Cressi Sub SL Star 40 Pneumatic Spear Gun — 16" Lightweight, High-Grip Spearfishing Tool | Cressi Sub

Meet the Cressi Sub SL Star 40

The SL Star 40 is a compact pneumatic spear gun that blends lightweight handling with dependable power. At 16 inches long, it balances maneuverability and capability, making it a versatile choice for small to mid-size targets in open water and reef environments. Its design emphasizes balance between the barrel and the high grip handle, helping you stay in line with your shoot and reducing wrist strain during extended dives.

One of the standout details is the bright yellow handle. It adds visibility when the gun settles on the sea floor, making retrieval safer and quicker after a shot. The SL Star also features a built in line attachment eyelet on the handle, which supports a lanyard for added security and easier shaft loading in dynamic conditions. A safety catch helps prevent accidental firing, and the trigger pull is designed to release the shaft line reliably when you’re ready to dive again.
