Extractors by far, though I do shoot both. I really like the way extractors lift an unfired hull out far enough to easily take hold of them even with cold gloved fingers. I like their simplicty--nothing ever breaks. I like the lighter forend--no mechanism up there. Do I sometimes miss the opportunity at birds because I'm pulling out a hull? Yes, it happens. But it's so seldom that I just consider it part of hunting. We have a family ranch here in Texas and I consider it very rude for a guest to leave a hull on the ground, which often happens when they're excited in the midst of a covey rise. Then, when we're all moving on to the next point they're left behind trying to find their hulls on the ground. That's one of the two reasons I ask guests not to bring repeaters on a hunt.
