Cressi’s SL Star is the updated model in the Cressi SL range and is a great option for anyone wanting to try a pneumatic speargun for the first time. After pumping the gun, you can expect to get around 20 shots off before having to re-pump.
A bright yellow handle makes it easy to locate the gun on the seabed if you drop it while loaded. Without the shaft, the speargun floats. One great feature is a reducer that allows you to fire with full power or at reduced power if you’re aiming for close-range prey or if shooting near rocks.

Things we like:
- The option to change out spear tips
- Only needs pumping every 20 shots
- Sturdy and compact structure
- Very easy to load
- Powerful, especially when firing at short range
Things we don't like:
- Sliding safety switch has no markings to know which position is safe
- Needs some tweaking to ensure the line stays attached to the shaft
- Some customers complain of the plastic line holder breaking after a very short time
Take a moment to look at this.
