The I-37 has a loyal owner base as do some of the other "slam fire" pump guns. If you're a fan of the bottom eject style pump gun, as are many left-handers, the Browning BPS at $660 may be more in your budget than a new I-37 at $859.

Beyond safety considerations, a reason "slam fire" shotguns have been discontinued may have something to do with how a machine gun is legally defined. If you are stretching a point, as attorneys are apt to do, a "slam fire" gun is capable of firing more than one shell with a single pull of the trigger making it a machine gun by some vague definitions. Of course, the same can be said about a "fanner" cowboy revolver.
