Ditto what Mark said, including the RBL. Every time I take it out shooting I seem to forget about the ejectors and end up catching the spent shells with my forehead!
  Extractors preferred!!

Well, I'm back from opening day and now have the ejector experience under my belt. Of course they worked flawlessly, but.........
I'm not a big fan of "gizmos". Not sure I understand the point, to be honest. The extractor is such a simple system. I've never had to look for the empty. The ejectors really do eject. I was surprised at how far the empty was tossed. Then I started with the cupped hand over the breech and caught them. If I must do that, may just as well have extractors. What is the advantage supposed to be?? Now all that said, I love the GHE. First time used by me and I learned what GHE really means - Go Home Early. Details of the day will "eventally" be in the hunting forum. Gun cleaned and oiled. Birds need attention. You know the drill. Cheers, Jack

Have you tried pulling shells out of an extractor gun at 20 degrees while wearing gloves and more birds are getting up?

As Bruce says, the ejectors are about rapid loading. Duck blinds, Driven shoots, intense moments on the hunt, these are the what make all "gismos" necessary. David

Bruce and David: I can see the point of lots of action and the cold. I will find out about the cold soon enough. I routinely chase roosters up to the minus 30C days (22 below zero F). Seldom do I get birds birds birds. The couple times that has happened, I ended up watching in amazement. One time, with a pump, I was in a good spot on a cold day and was trying fast reloading with gloved hands after a shot while still paying attention to potential birds. That was a mistake. Ended up shoving a shell into the magazine backwards. Spent the next 10 - 15 minutes dismantling the gun to get that round out. Didn't know that could happen. My buddies carried on chuckling about the error and shooting away. As in a lot of life there's a reason behind old addages. Haste can make Waste.
Cheers, Jack

I like ejectors, they do add weight to the gun but there is no doubt they are handy when you are in a hurry. Yes now and again a few empties get away but I make uo for that by picking up any others I see kicking around. The only major downfall to ejectors that I see is the cost. You can buy a much nicer extractor gun for the same money as an ejector gun. Just my 2 cents.
