I have an Ithaca Model 37 Deerslayer that my wife gave me on the day I made Captain. Moments after she presented me with it at Squadron Hq the S1 clerk came bursting in to tell me that my XO had just shot himself with a 1911. That is a total other story for another time but to this day I still feel that the best thing I could have done for the US Army would have been to take that 37 back to my troop and finish the job that he started!! The bottom line on that gun is that it has been used for deer hunting probably three times with only one occasion resulting in the harvesting of a deer with a slug, but it has sure killed a lot of quail!! One of the slickest little pumps I have had and now one of only two that I still possess.
