This discussion always seems to end up touting the "advantage" of extractors being 'not having to pick up empties'. I'm no 30,000 round a year competition shooter, but I can still break an ejector gun open and put my hand in front of the shells before fully openning the gun everytime without thinking about it, even on an unfamiliar gun. I can't believe this is an especially difficult manuever 'cause I'm not especially coordinated. So, I can't 'award' a point advantage to extractors because of having to chase hulls with ejectors. Am I alone?

Now granted, ejectors on a vintage gun do complicate it and increase the likelyhood of problems much like a single trigger. But well made modern gun single triggers and ejectors are very reliable in my experience.
