The Ithaca Model 37 pump-action shotgun is still in service after nearly a century. By Staff Writer
Famed gunsmith John Browning first patented the Model 37 pump action shotgun as early as 1917. Heralded as one of the longest running shotgun systems still in existence, the Model 37 rights were first owned by the Remington Arms Company then purchased by the Ithaca Gun Company.
The Model 37 is a compact weapon system for a shotgun of this type, able to be used by either-handed users and is a popular choice for home defense or police work. Exterior features are left mostly plain with iron sights and simple wood working on the buttstock and sliding repeater.
The Ithaca Model 37 "Stakeout" variant is the police version of the civilian Model 37, as it is shorter, more compact and features a pistol grip for easy handling / concealment.
The Ithaca Model 37 features the Ithaca patented ejection system, which ejects the spent shell downwards with each pump of the slide action repeater. This in itself was an ingenious design developed by John Browning himself.
