The same window at the bottom of the receiver is used to load the magazine and to eject the spent cartridges. The most famous feature of the Model 37 is its bottom ejection system, designed by Browning. Cross-bolt, push button type manual safety is located in the triggerguard, behind the trigger. The receiver is made from steel and strong enough to handle 3 inch magnum shells (modern versions only!) but yet light enough. The barrel locking is achieved by tipping the rear part of the bolt up, into the recess in the receiver roof. It uses tubular underbarrel magazine that can hold 4 rounds in standard configuration. Model 37 is a conventional, manually operated pump action shotgun. Model 37 was widely used by various police departments and security units in the USA, and still popular enough. This gun features a shorter barrel and a pistol grip instead of more common butt. Special, more compact version was developed especially for police use and is known as Model 37 "Stakeout". Current production model 37 "Homeland Security" is intended for civilian self-defense use, and also can be used as a police weapon. It is available in numerous versions and in various calibers, but for police, security and defense use most suitable are 12 gauge versions. Model 37 is known for its light weight and ambidextrous handling, thanks to Browning's patented bottom ejection feature.

Browning in 1915 and improved by Harry Howland of Ithaca Gun Co in 1931. It was introduced in the 1937, and was based on the design patented by John M. The Ithaca model 37 shotgun is one of the oldest pump action shotguns still in production.
