ParticipantTotally agree zk, it’s the ones you watched as kid that are the most special.
Mine was Steve Carlton, lefty pitcher for the Philadelphia Phillies in the 70’s and early 80’s. No world series will ever be able to top the 1980 series for me. Shame how Carlton went out though, but I will always remember his glory days.
Awesome threadjack.

ParticipantI think I have about $17. It’s been that way ever since I got married. 🙂

ParticipantThe 37 was a great gun, no argument there, but I had a few of them across my bench, broken firing pins and extractors. I even used one for a number of years as I’m a lefty and the bottom ejection is nice. I think my brother still has it. No way it can take the punishment an 870 can. You’re right about the last few years of Ithacas though. A shame really.

ParticipantYou guys may find this hard to believe, but prior to my doctoring days I was a gunsmith. No kidding. While I was a practicing gun doctor I never saw or heard of a broken Remington 870. Unbeleivably reliable, very strong and will last for generations. I’ve been out of the game for a bit, but I think the Mossberg has an aluminum receiver, which is not as strong, and possibly prone to missfires. Another plus for the Remmie is the slide has dual action bars, so a stuck shell is virtually impossible unless you pull the rim off.
As for home defense, no question a shotgun is your best bet. I’m a double man myself, with a Ruger Red Label and an SKF over/under, but you can’t beat the itimidation factor of shucking a shell with a pump.
