I owned an Ithaca Model 37 many years ago. This was an earlier model with only one action bar. It was not the trench gun but the hunting version.
Basically a boringly reliable shotgun which handled well. If it needed two action bars John Browning would have put two on it.

I read an account of a Marine who used a shotgun in WW II. Said that he needed to be careful where he used it because it always drew tremendous fire when he did.

I’ll take a Winchester Model of 1897, thank you. Feeds either from the magazine or just drop one in the ejection port. There are probably still racks of M97s in an armory somewhere. Maybe CMP will release them some day.

The 12 gauge with 00 buck is the most effective small arm in existence.
Out to 100 feet, nothing else even comes close.

I carried an Ithaca 37 in RVN, although not a “trench,” just a shortened-barrel 12g. It was a great personal defense weapon, and definitely not an official part of the armory inventory, just something that was passed from one Marine to another through attrition, rotation, etc. How it got in-country I have no idea, but I wish I still had it....

Upper Sandusky-based Ithaca Gun Company I'll bet the Ithaca NY crowd hates the company's name.

I just bought a Mossberg 500 last Saturday. She’s ugly but she sure is purty.

Unlike the original gun, it will not fire continuously if pumped while the trigger is held back. Surely you had to see that coming.Takes the allure away for me.

The Germans hated facing shotguns, and even filed a formal complaint that using shotguns was a violation of the rules of civilized warfare – to no avail. The trench gun was born. I believe that the GIs nicknamed it the Trench Broom.
