I would like to hear about the Model 37. Anyone have one? I have wanted the Police Special for years but have yet to find one for sale when I have the $$ on hand.

Based on what I have seen on their website, I want a new one pretty bad. They seem awesome. Never seen a new one in person though.

I have an old one from 1948, and is probably my favorite shotgun. They are awesome.

They have always been awesome in every version but you really should get a newer model.
The ones from the beginning up until the mid sixties were made with low brass in mind and for some reason they get hung up on extraction with high brass shells and buckshot sometimes.
I've had and have several models.

IMO... the best pump gun every built. Very popular with the law enforcement, armed forces etc. I grew up with ond and it never jammed and I always loved the bottom eject.

I grew up with one in the 60's in 20 gauge myself. I don't remember ever having a failure. Many old timers consider it the best pump ever made. And like said, they are lightweight and kick.

I've got one I bought new in 1978. It's one of the best shooting and reliable shotguns I've ever owned, plus, I think it's pretty.
You can't go wrong with them. It went to back up status when I got my Browning B-80, but I wouldn't part with it.

Great shotguns. Really popular for lefties since it has the downward ejection.
Never been that popular in Texas (this has always been Big Green country) but they sell well elsewhere. Routinely get 20% more selling them online to customers in northern states and especially NY state.
Have a 20ga Featherweight Deluxe with the high-gloss finish and the inlaid pistol grip. 6 pounds and really fast on dove.
