This was deleted because it's incorrect. The Ithaca 37 was made with three different trigger mechanisms. One was experimental and resembled a later model Remington Model 17 trigger with a proper secondary sear. Now, the original version had a disconnector. This is what causes the gun to fire when the slide is all the way forward. This disconnector engages a lug projecting from the right side of the hammer. When the slide trips the slide release while the trigger is held to the rear, the hammer is released and can strike the firing pin.
On guns WITHOUT the disconnector, the hammer will follow the slide home and rest on the firing pin, but will not fall with any velocity, therefore it won't discharge a round, however the gun will have to be cycled again to recock the hammer. This is a common misconception. You must visually examine guns with and without a disconnector to understand this well. The book referenced at the end of the article is an excellent source of information and explains this well. For laymen, the only way to verify that you have a disconnector gun is to fire it at the range. Both trigger mechanisms will perform similarly when manually cycled without live ammunition. Disconnector, or "Slam Fire" guns will have a projection on the right side of the hammer. Asams10 07:18, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
Removed text because it's anecdotal and beyond the scope of this article. I encourage you to create an article or sub-article under the Shotgun Choke article that describes this choke system. -- Asams10 17:09, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
This is from Master Chief Aviation Ordnanceman Mike Boynton, USN (Ret.), on pp. 79-80 of the cited reference, relative to his tour in Vietnam that started in 1967. Additional sections, written by others, went into considerably more detail regarding the Ithaca Model 37, and it was used more and more, with typically one or two members on each patrol carrying one. If you have any other references on the duckbill attachment, it would be interesting to see what the claimed differences in performance were. Yaf 02:03, 2 March 2006 (UTC)"The shotgun with the duckbill was an Ithaca Model 37, and the duckbill was a muzzle attachment that changed the spread of shot from a circle to an oval four times as wide as it ws tall. After we started to get some good hits, I picked up the shotgun as a preferred weapon for close-in, especially around hooches. With the duckbill, you didn't have to lead a moving target as you did with a regular shotgun. The spread of the shot made up for any target movement at the short ranges we fought at. The No. 4 hardened buckshot was my preferred load. Double-ought buck was good, by you could hit more with the greater number of pellets in a No. 4 load. Flechette was also good, at least I thought so. You could hit a man at longer range with it than with a regular shot load."
I added reference to the 28 gauge model. The current Ithaca shows a special order only 28 gauge built on a 28 gauge specific receiver.
Since the US Military bought and used the weapon, shouldn't the US be listed under the Users section?

While the Ithaca 37 has been standard issue with many police departments and was adopted by the US military, most US users were sportsman by sales numbers. A better illustration for the article would be one of the hunting, skeet or trap shooting model variations. -- Naaman Brown ( talk) 13:34, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Ithaca 37's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 08:58, 27 October 2019 (UTC)
