Question about O/U shotguns

[crazy critter]

I was wondering if someone could tell me the difference between "ejectors" and "extractors". I was wanting to buy one that takes the empty cases out without having to pull them out yourself. Which one does this? I am very new to these guns as you can tell!

Ejectors

Extractors pull them out of chamber part way so you can grab them and dispose of them, ejectors fire them up into your face.

some handloaders and target shooters prefer extractors so they can remove the partially extracted hulls from the gun and put them in their shooting bag without picking them up from the ground.

Both work. It is a matter of personal choice.
