Hand-Crafted Spearguns
Top guns Spearguns are not only one of the most powerful and accurate spearguns ever made, but they are also true works of art. When you purchase one of these guns you are truly acquiring something unique.
The concept of TopGun spearguns started in Hawaii in 1975 where John was influenced by Hymie Smith A local Hawaiian from Maui. Hymie adopted John as his howlie son for a diving partner.
John started making his guns with the Hawaiian design that included a rifle type stock for easy cocking and floatation. As time went on John perfected the design to include an enclosed track and one of the world’s most powerful triggers designed by Bill Kito from California.
The trigger is a three piece mechanism that can hold an incredible 1700 pounds of pull. This trigger was developed to hunt Bluefin Tuna.

Hand-Crafted Spearguns
There is a reason Polynesian and Micronesia spearguns all have stocks which are placed on the side of your crotch so you have much longer reach and painless loading. TG Spearguns are the easiest guns to cock with the loading tabs far enough away from the rear of the gun to easily load. Almost all wooden guns are made of Teak which holds up well in the water but are heavy and aesthetically dreary looking. TG’s are made with exotic woods from around the world due to the proprietary design coatings that allow the guns to be impervious to the affects of water. Each gun has an equivalent of 180 coats of varnish. Additionally there are only two screws on the entire gun located on the line release and spring.
The top guns are made without a lot of hardware so something doesn’t fall off when spearfishing in remote locations around the world. TG’s are all unique and no two guns are alike. There is no CAD machine used and every gun is completely hand made. They are also works of Art made not only with exotic woods but also inlaid with Abalone shell from around the world. It has taken nearly 60 years to perfect the guns and to make them float with the shaft in using combination’s of different woods. The Guns can also accommodate both a 9/32 or 5/16 shafts.
Extra ordinary, one of a kind gun. Keep up the good work!
From start to finish, they were extremely professional, friendly, helpful and easy to do business with. Very happy with the experience and the company.
Thank you so much, John!
