And for likely $500 more you can get an ejector gun. As dean said, they are out there.

The cost to convert a gun would be 4 times that, or more. If you can find someone to do it.

Del Grego's shop has done this conversion. It requires machine work on the action as well as a complete replacement forend. As early as 1972, Larry Sr. expressed apprehension about the conversion. I asked him to do a 28 gauge in 1972 and he did not want to do it. My 28 is still an extractor gun.

Good stuff guys. I have always been a wing shooter but have a real bad habit of catching my hulls as they pop from the ejectors (bad sporting clay habits). Also, as I hunt quail solo with my German short hair, chasing blue quail on foot while reloading was my concern. You guys have answered the question. I have a nice DHE (70% case color) and cringe when I think about the way I hold it with gloves on. I don't shoot my well worn GH because it doesn't have ejectors. Time for me to break bad habits it sounds like.

Gloves make it really difficult to remove the spent shells from an extractor gun.

Jon, why is catching your hulls as they are ejected a bad habit? That is the way it is supposed to be done.

Bad habit while shooting an extractor

Your hand is right where it belongs. No problem.

I must be missing something.

If you have a chance to buy a near mint DH for that price you should buy it and resell it. the money you make will pay the difference for the DHE that you would like to have.

I've only "needed" ejectors in a good dove field. Other than that they seem totally unnecessary. I have removed them from my clays gun since I reload and the ejectors would get out of time every 5 years or so and need work. I have them handy and can install them in about 10 minutes if I need them.

Hint-Cut the trigger finger tip off of your shooting glove. Better trigger control and it makes picking out an empty fast and easy.
