I don't lean a loaded long gun on anything, as said, they are not drop safe.

I need to work more with my Ithaca 37. It has been reliable in feeding the first round by racking the pump handle; but I have observed that with rifles and pistols, the most common feed failure is the first round. A lot of guns have to be "spoon fed" the first round out of the magazine because hand cycling is different from autoloading. But then the pump is manually cycled every time. I'll do some shooting. Empiricism Rules.
