Forgive me for being argumentative; but regarding Winchester 37's;
if it looks like a hammer, and cocks like a hammer; I don't care WHAT they call it. To this old man, that's a hammer.
I have found that the 37's "Hammer; striker cocker;" or what ever, is kinda hard for a kid to cock. Some .410's are the same way, and are so hard for a kid to cock, the bird is in the next county when he/she gets it done.
They are a nice, rugged gun, but I was never too crazy about the
thingy you have to pull back prior to shooting it. (for a kid or girl)
