Check out the Shotgun sections (below the grid) on this site for examples of fast shooting with pumps and SxSs in Cowboy Action Shooting.

Notice how fast the pump can be worked, loading one in the chamber for each shot. Also notice how the hammered doubles can be worked almost as fast as hammerless.

SxSs are allowed to have extractors but not ejectors. There are mods done to make the SxSs fast. I can post info here if folks are interested.

Pumps must have external hammer, and I think that limits it to winchester 1897s (and replicas). Or at least that's the only pump you ever see used for CAS.

You can only load a max of 2 shells at a time, so the pumps aren't allowed to load a full mag tube. And you must start the stage with the gun empty.

The pumps are ultimately slightly faster, but as someone mentioned earlier can be a "train wreck" if there's a jam. And the pumps are more expensive to keep running - it's hard on them to use them so rough for so many rounds.
