Talk:Ithaca 37

Ithaca represented in movies far more than its numbers
I've noticed that Ithaca shotguns are by far one of the LEAST available pump shotguns on the market and yet, they show up tons of time in films and TV shows. The Remingtons, Winchester (until Winchester stopped making pump shotguns) and Mossbergs are FAR more common, the Ithacas show up in films far more frequently than their numbers in the marketplace merit.

- "(until Winchester stopped making pump shotguns)"I know Winchester is "Defunct" but I believe the 1300 Defender is still produced under the name "SXP Defender" http://www.tactical-life.com/online/exclusives/winchesters-sxp-defender-pump-shotgun/ --AdAstra2009 03:17, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
- Wasn't the Ithaca the standard shotgun for the LAPD at one point? If that is the case then it could be that Ithaca's are simply more readily available in the Hollywood area and so are used more frequently in movies for that reason.
- Being the 'official' shotgun of a major police force, and being seen in everything from Dead Bang to The French Connection to Tropic Thunder doesn't really translate into film appearances, in that tons of other shotguns are available in movie armories, but I believe the Ithaca has a fanbase amongst propmasters and directors (I'm not one of them, but the Ithaca seems to have an air of 'coolness' that I just can't put my finger on, that causes others to constantly pick it as the shotgun to film.

- When I made my police comment I was suggesting that maybe because police in the Hollywood area used the gun in large numbers that there were plenty of used, surplus Ithacas available, however since you said that there are many other types of shotguns readily available as well, my suggestion is clearly wrong and can be disregarded.

Extended Magazine Tube photo
Does IMFDB not have a picture of an Ithaca with an extended magazine tube?Anonymous
- Gee Anonymous. Why don't you go out and GET US a pic of one? Sure Predator20 went and found a so-so Jacked Google image, but don't be spouting like we're obliged to provide a shot of one. I've been trying to get a photo of one for a long time, but Ithaca doesn't make that style any more. Have you seen the 'new' Ithaca 37s? Yuck! They don't even look like Ithacas anymore :( MoviePropMaster2008 03:06, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
- You mean like this? The pic below originally had another Ithaca without an extension above it, I chopped it off. It's better than the one that was before it, the previous pic was at an angle. --Predator20 01:26, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
