Hand Piece

I would have to say that I find hand pieces in general very reliable, but now & then they can become a bit sticky due to a few grains of sand, or some other foreign body in the mechanism. Most Euro hand pieces mechanisms come apart quite easily. With this Omer it's as simple as pushing out the stainless pin in the back, pushing in the safety turn it round until it's pointing down & then the safety should pop out. Then pull the mechanism up from the back out of the hand piece. Be careful, the small stainless pins fall out quite easy, maybe taking it apart above a towel or something similar.

Most South African shafts have a smooth curving notch which doesn't seem to aggravate the Dyneema in the same way.

Clipping onto the gun

Probably the most common method of connecting the floatline to the gun is using a shark clip. Which are light, tuff & cheap. But they don't latch on some skewers that well. The dog clip is another popular method.
