I own two Ithaca model 37's. 30" 12 gauge with ventilated rib and raybar front sight. Love the bottom feed and eject. Easier to retrieve and pick up empties that land right in front of you. Butter smooth pump action and never had a problem with feeding or ejection. My personal home defense (WSHTF) gun is a 1976 20" with parkerized finish which I think is a good choice since the shells will get thrown down instead of off to the side ricocheting off hallway walls and can bounce in your face / eye in an emergency situation.
