I have a 60 year old 37 20ga. It's the slickest pump that I've ever shot. It is my foul weather,mud,snow go to gun. Having said that, I would rank them in this order: 870, 12, 37, 31, 500. It is interesting that so many of us prefer the older models with 2 3/4" chambers. I wonder how many of us have used a 31? Also, I have to mention
Winchester's little 42. I have one in skeet grade with very pretty wood. It is a joy to shoot!
