Have both, but the nod goes to extractors. I love the simplicity and function of the smooth open and close of the extractor gun. It may be a personal thing, but just the handling of shells in and out of the chambers is part of the charm I find in shooting these vintage SXS's. Closing and listening to that sound is music to my ears. Favorite tunes come from my LC, Fox, and Lefever extractor guns. Randy
