Personally, I like the older Model 37 best of all. The Browning BPS is a "fancier" version of the M37, but it just doesn't feel or look as good as the lightweight 37 with the "corncob" forearm.

I never liked the Winchester Model 12 at all. It always seemed to be stiff and poorly put together to me, even though very popular to most of the public.

That said, the "best" American pump ever has to be the Remington 870. For reliability, under any and all conditions, no other pump gun can compare. It also looks good and feels right. The sales figures since it's introduction say it best....the 870 is Number 1.
