The first shotgun I ever hunted with was a borrowed M 37 Winchester .410. I have never liked them because of the stamped construction. In addition, the earlier ones hammer spur is too low and liable to slip from under the thumb when cocking. I would prefer one of the Savage/Stevens single shots with or without an external hammer, or a H&R or IJ single shot. My own standby snake gun when I lived in AL and needed one was a Savage M24 in .22LR/.410. With .22 LR,.22 shot, .410 shot or .410 slugs I could take care of any varmint in the yard, and it could be pressed into service as a small game hunting gun.
