My dad has a 37 and has for 27 years. Kicks like a mule and is a pain to load (to me). I will say it is a beautiful gun and never game him a seconds trouble. Dad promised me the gun when he is done hunting. I have a special place for it in the gun safe, but I don't see myself using it too much. I just don't get the attraction to the 37.And I love pumps.[&:]
