Something tells me that you like retired police shotguns.

 

[Dave McCracken]

Nice pics of shotguns that have actually been used. We need more of that here...

Seriously, thanks....

Retired Sheriffs Dept 870. I shot it a couple of weekends ago. I like it. I have four to go to catch bushmaster1313

Yahtzee!

Does the bottom one in the first pic eject to the left?

 

[lobo9er]

bottom one ejects out the bottom its a ithaca 37 i am pretty sure

 

[bushmaster1313]

The bottom one is a 1956 Ithaca Model 37.
It feeds and ejects from the bottom.
A very elegant design.
One of the all time great American pump shotguns.
Well over a million were made and they are available in good condition for under $300.

Here is the patent:

That's something I want to add to my collection. An old police/miltary riot gun.

Riot guns are my forte too. Here's "nine of a kind", or maybe "four of a kind" depending on how you classify them:

@Black_Talon: I thought I was hallucinating for a second until I realised that most of those shotguns are left handed models. Talk about an OODA loop reset! VERY nice collection

They're Ithacas. Bottom eject, no side port.

Shows how much I know about shotguns Either way they're nice (though they definitely look like something is missing).

 

[MachIVshooter]

Either way they're nice (though they definitely look like something is missing).

Next time you're in a gun store that has an Ithaca 37, fondle it. You'll quickly understand why someone would pay an extra $200-$300 to have it over a Remington 870 express or Mossberg 500.

Honestly, the Express model sucks so I would take near any shotgun over one.
