I'm a convert to extractors as well.

To BigFiveJack's original question - I understand the theoretical argument of being able to load faster (in a DG situation), but I also realize that by hunting DG in Africa once a year - my odds are greater of winning the lottery than ending up in a worst-case-scenario situation where more than two shots from me will save the day.

Some will disagree with the following, but I'm talking about safari hunting in 2006 - not 1906 and in today's circumstances, it's the PH who is better trained and experienced that will save your bacon, not you reloading your double faster and making shoe-lace shots with a double while your PH is running for cover.

I'm not saying you shouldn't be prepared to perform your best, it's just that your best training is not as good as the PH's experience and no DR or reduced reloading time will give a visiting hunter the advantage over the PH's experience.
