Hi all and Merry Christmas to you and yours!! This question kind of goes along with the one I posted on SST. Here goes. Do you like ejectors or extractors for hunting and why?
Me, I like ejectors, speed of reloading, less fuss and fumbling with shells.
How about you?
God Bless!!

Hunting I do is always slow enough that extractors do the job just fine. Besides, who needs more than two chances in the uplands? Currently have just two guns with ejectors and wouldn't miss them at all if they just had extractors. Chopperlump. P.S. Merry Christmas to all!

I prefer a reliable ejector gun to an extractor gun. There are many instances where loading quickly would get another bird or two. I said I prefer ejectors, I didn't say I wouldn't hunt with extractors.

I'd prefer extractors on my grouse gun - sometimes in the heat of battle (multiple flushes) I neglect to catch an empty and wind up crawling around in the leaves looking for it. Leaving empties afield is not only sloppy - it tells others where you've been getting shots!

Extractors. I have three guns with ejectors and one of them broke the two pins that are soldered to the extractors. Both pins stuck into their respective sleeves in the barrels and It was quite a chore getting them out and fitting new pins.
Ejectors are expensive to repair and they all seem kind of light weight for the rigors that the guns go through.

I prefer extractors. I don't need to search for my littered hulls either. I find it just as easy to pull the old out and insert the new as my hand goes to the pockets.

Some guns demand ejectors, and some extractors.
Ejectors for gameguns, extractors for fowlers.
I like 'em both.

On my quail guns, extractors, do not have to find the shells and if you shoot both barrels the birds are gone by then anyway. On a hot dove field, I will take ejectors. But I have never had a extractor fail on me!

Driven of flocking birds ejectors; upland over dogs, extractors. Failing to pickup empties is poor manners at best.

Extractors for most field situations.
Ejectors for that warm corner on a driven shoot or a high volume dove field.
Good Shooting
