If my manservant is working that day I'll use ejectors, but on my own extractors fill the bill.

I was on my clubs property this past weekend and it amazed me to see the amount of empty hulls guys still leave on the ground. The autoloader guys are the worst. There's one guy that uses a plugged Browning Sweet 16. I always know when he's been around, there are 3 shells on the ground.

I've often thought what I would get in a gun if money were no object, it would be something like a Boss or high end German, Italian gun, 16 ga best quality sidelock, with extractors. The fact is here in the US, unless you're playing extremely rich shooting games, there's no need for ejectors.

One exception! In a duck blind, the shells aren't going anywhere and a quick reload can be advantageous.


My problem lies in reconciling my gross habits with my net income.
