Okay, I know it’s heresy, but I do love my Stevens 350... excellent design - mediocre finish.

Yes, beautiful 37s. Nice to see Ithaca make a comeback. I'll most likely get a 37 if I come across one (to keep my SBE 2 company).Thanks for the share.

That was my first shotgun. I got it as a birthday present from my grandfather, 47 years ago. Still have it.

I carried an issue 37 many years in my patrol unit. I trained with and shot 00 buck and slugs. I was confident that gun would perform perfectly if my life depended on it. I always carried extra slugs in my jacket pocket.

Nice to hear, I am considering these retro firearms not being a fan of tacti cool stuff!

I was trained with it, and I have one. I like it. With the rifle sight barrel, I was able to hit a 16" steel plate at 300 yards with a slug.

We also used the 37 with rifle sights when I was a rookie LAPD officer in 1981. As a left- handed long gun shooter, it was much smoother to use than an 870, due to the safety position.

I have 4. 3 are original short barreled guns, the 4th is a DSPS. I found all at gun shows with a bit of looking.

Not only the safety, but bottom ejection and awesome reliability.

I have two old department guns. One was issued and shows wear. The other was new and had never been put into service when we sold our Ithaca's. Great combat shotguns!!

I wanted to buy one of ours, but I missed the purchase lottery.

I got the tail end of it, and got drawn for one. It looks old, but mechanism was still in good shape.

Hope they bring back the Deer Slayer model.

Yea the old LASD ones I used had zero finish. They had a patina of oiled smooth rust.
