Ejectors on a gun that I intend to use for hunting. They're fine for clays guns, but the only thing I don't like more than searching around for empties while hunting is leaving them to litter up the landscape. Having typed that I realized that most of my using upland and a few of the waterfowl guns have ejectors. I guess it isn't a deal breaker.

I've developed the knack for popping empties into my hand, but on the rare occasions that doesn't happen, I could not agree with you more, Bob.

Bob Brown and mobirdhunter:

I can assure you that cracking my K80 and side swiping the empties as they emerge from the chambers with those powerful K80 ejectors into a shell bucket after a "dead pair" on a clays course gives me great pleasure but.... I hate to miss an empty in the woods/field.

So you're the guy who teaches those college boys and girls to slap their empties, a skill I have never learned after about sixty years of competitive shooting. Do you offer a video? If so, thanks for sharing.

Someone I know who will remain nameless bought his daughter one of those horrible cheap 410 over unders and a 22 rifle for “under $1000” If it were under $500 he still would have paid too much. These guns will never live to be handed down to future generations as heirlooms. What a shame. There is something I avoid.

Ejectors don’t bother me after years of shooting skeet/trap with a K-32 . I’d crack the gun open close to my chest then pull the hulls out the chambers . Same can be said when I shoot the DHE 20 I recently acquired or my VHE 20’s , crack the gun open back close against my chest . Very rarely do I waste any hulls I’d reload .

One of the hotdogs in the skeet game thirty years ago Larry Woo (not one of my favorite shooters) would crack his gun open with the empties flying backwards and the four flunkies on his squad would bat them up in the air one after the other .

There are a lot of Larry Woo stories. I've never heard a flattering one

No, I am not the inventor of that move and there is no video... but thanks. Fact is, it took this ole fart a bit of practice to get it. The kids kept telling me it was cool... a bit arrogant I suppose but it was fun to learn. Learned to catch em both in air on ejection also.... LOL....

That’s EXACTLY the way most people took it when Woo did it except for him and his four wannabes.
