I can't recall if it was the 97 or 93, but when I worked at the Jewel Box we had a couple come through with a safety issue, ala like firing when the slide is racked forward? Do you know of such?

That's an intentional design called slam fire but you have to keep the trigger depressed. There's Ithaca shotguns made with the slam fire feature also. The '93 and '97 were great for clearing trenches or defoliating jungles. Just, don't get captured with one. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fortunately, the guy didn't get hurt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A few years ago, I regularly wrote articles for the National Shooting Sports Foundation website and print magazine. One of them was on the popularity of cowboy action shooting. I did a couple phone interviews, and attended a shoot at Ben Avery. The 97 was and probably still is a very popular gun for these shoots. I think someone is or was actually making reproductions of the 97. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

From my cowboy shooting forums, many reproductions are Chinese made and so poorly done they don't hold up and most gunsmiths refuse to work on them. Uberti builds the Cimmaron.
