Hi all, my first post here.

Glad to have found this forum and the wealth of information available here.

Curious on something, why don't manufacturers like Merkel and Krieghoff not offer ejectors on their DG doubles? Correct me if I'm wrong but from what I have read they only come with extractors for some reason. From stuff I have read over the years regarding doubles used in africa/india most of these were fitted with ejectors, so why is this considered unfashionable these days? True extractors offer more extraction power as compared to ejectors, but surely if this was a huge problem ejectors would not have been fitted to so many of those fine english doubles in the first place. I had a the pleasure of firing a Westley Richards 450/400 some years ago and those ejectors really punched the empty case out with almost brutal force.
Been toying with the idea of getting a Merkel 470NE but have been a bit put off by the extractors as I would prefer ejectors on a double. I have also read that extractors are better for DG because the 'pings' don't give your postion away... I find this a bit silly as surely two shots from a NE double are a lot louder than the ejection pings at reloading so who cares at that stage?
Anyway, your feedback would be appreciated.
