I would love to be in a position to order a bespoke gun with extractors. Irks me that it's tough to find a good sidelock without ejectors.

I don't see a reason for them in my upland shooting though I imagine they might be handy in a duck blind. Let the empties fly and then clean the blind when you're done for the day, whereas upland shooting once you let them fly you have to retrace your steps.

They add weight and are something else to fail. Don't need 'em.
