1) Practially speaking, you'll get use to either, but extractors do keep you off the ground and fumbling for spent cases.

2) If it's an old gun, a collectible gun, then condition of the gun is more important to me than extractors or ejectors. If the gun is "right" - then it's right... with or without ejectors and is a rare find.

3) If it's a new gun you're in love with, and plan on keeping it then see number 1 above.

4) If it's a new gun that you're not in love with and is a model offered with or without ejectors, then history dictates that ejector guns bring more on the used market.

In today's hunting environment, you'll probably never find yourself in a situation where ejectors proved to be of any real advantage - especially not a life-saving one.

If the s*&t gets that bad, you've got a PH trained to sort the situation out.

Extractors also represent the absence of one more thing that can go wrong.
