Most of my doubles over the years were extractor guns. A “warm corner” for me is when two grouse or two pheasants flush together, and I didn’t really need to reload the gun faster anyway, so I got used to not having them. It is a lot more common to just have a single bird flush anyway. I own a few ejector guns, now, but, most of the time have a preference to regular old extractors. At least for hunting.
When George Hoenig designed his masterpiece rotary action gun, he was adamant that two types of mechanisms would never be found on it-a single trigger, or ejectors. He had spent so much of his life working on them, he wanted nothing to do with them.
George is a smart guy.
Best,
