Hey Tim, nice bro...Is that the model 37? Im a 12 gauge fanboy as well and Ithaca is pretty much the only "major" manufacturer I'm really not familiar with. Im pretty sure they were used in Vietnam along with others, so that's good enough for me. Pretty reliable?
They are both model 37’s 8 shots, the police special was a variant of the model 37 back in the day, the model 37 was used in world war 2 as a trench gun 5 shot, and Vietnam trench gun variants and regular 5 shots, stories I’ve read is special forces like them Vietnam since the model 37 didn’t have a side eject, they load and eject from the bottom, the second gun in the video ( the bottom one) is a newer made model 37 Ithaca calls it their home defense gun, but it’s made exactly the same for 87 years now, I’ve shot all pumps and by far the Ithaca has the smoothest action of them all, but harder to load the first shot since it doesn’t have the side load capability
