Much, MUCH more sensible, as you can easily grab them as they come out of the gun, Stan. Further, the emptys will ALWAYS be right down by your feet, in front of you, should you choose not to do that.
More reliable would, of course, not even be open for debate, seeing the percentage of guns that end up at the 'smith over balky, conventional, ejectors.
Best,

We may see that differently, Ted. But, I won't argue it with you. I catch every empty in my hand that ejects from my guns, when I desire to. Anyone with an IQ high enough to operate a top lever can do so. It really requires no training ......... you just DO it. And, I guess you may have a point about reliability, can't say for sure, as I have been using non-Darne ejector doubles for the majority of my years on this planet, with never a broken ejector. I've shot an ejector O/U in Argentina over 9000 rounds, with nary a breakdown. Am I lucky, or is it just that the majority of people who shoot ejectors don't brag on their reliability, but the ones who have seen one break can't wait to tell about it? I dunno.
I do know this, when my guns eject I don't have to cant the gun to one side or the other to get them to roll off out of the way to reload. Never used one myself, but was told that by a Darne user.
