As a kid you didn't see too many o/u guns at our little gun club. All we had was a trap range and most of the hot shooters had model 12's and auto 5s. Later the 1100 started showing up and the 870 was well represented. Model 37s were never that pilar with trap shooters as you had to load out of the magazine . Dad ahad a nice 37 in 16 ga and my older brother being a lefty had one too but I always wanted a auto 5 .as a kid. I enter up with a 870 16ga that I traded a saddle for. It was great gun but I foolishly traded it in my early 30s.
