I like ejectors on an o/u...beats digging out that bottom case in my 9,3x74r. I've never perfected a flick or dump technique that works.

I like extractors in side by sides...hate automatic safeties in anything!

As I ran onto this thread, I was cleaning up an old Belgian sxs shotgun I just purchased cheap. It is a decent quality old gun with automatic safety. I tried pushing the safety forward while pulling both triggers and closing the gun. I worked, and I can uncock the gun on closing, just as I do with my non-auto safety guns. I tried it with a mid 70's FAU belgian double just now...I couldn't release the springs the same way on this newer gun.

I do like ejectors while chucker or quail hunting, as things can get fast and furious at times. Our valley quail don't tend to expolde out all at once like a covey of Bobwhite do, giving several shot opportunities in a drawn out rise.
