Looking for others opinions. Would you change your ejectors to extractors on an over/under?

I did ($10 and 15 minutes on a Browning Citori) and I like it but I haven't met anyone else who has done it.
 
I guess it depends on what you are doing. For trap etc extractors save having to pick up your empties. Of course you can simply block them with your hand. In hunting situations it makes for quicker reloads. To each their own i guess.
 
I hunted upland with a nice little 20ga SKB for a few yrs. It had ejectors. I hated them and would never prefer that over extractors.

Most hunting situations don't allow more than 2 shots so the need for a quick reload with ejectors is a myth.

One of my 28's has ejectors, the other, extractors.
These are the guns I use most, and to tell you the truth, I don't really think about it when using either.
When using the ejector gun I simply open the lever with the heel of my hand and catch the hulls in my palm before they fly out.
The ejectors get puled out with two fingers.

Same as my O/U 20's, some have ejectors, some extractors.

Yup, you and I both.

Never once bugged me in 30,000+ rounds shot. The extractors toss 'em right into your hand as it covers the action, and you can put 'em where you please.

I'll go ejectors if I ever make it to hunt doves in South America.
 
I've used and owned extractor and ejector guns. Each has its advantages and disadvantages. I wouldn't bother to change one to the other.
 
Tiss a dilema for sure.
Do I bend over and pick them up and possible distract my thought process on that particular round of Trap/Skeet/Sporting Clays.
I would consider the fact that by you changing out your ejectors to extractors you ahve learn a valuable skill that day.
Might even be able to ear a dollar or two down the road from someone who doesnt want to attempt the task.
Got pictures and step by step or did you wing it and take it to the smith ;)

I prefer ejectors as i can always block the shell from an ejector with my hand but i cannot make an extractor eject the shell if need be
 
I did it myself, pretty easy all you need is a Phillips screwdriver. I took the factory springs out and replaced them with smaller springs out of a Colt 1911 handgun.

I read here that some people just have the spent shells pop into their hands but this gun is fairly new and I need both hands to break it open. I have a few hundred rounds through it and it's not opening real easy yet.

If right-handed:

1 - Tuck wrist/comb of gunstock under right arm (in armpit).

2 - Use left hand to break gun barrels open, while covering ejection with right hand.

I wish I still had my competition Beretta - I sold it to a new shooter, since I don't have time to compete anymore... I'd do a YouTube vid in a heartbeat. VERY slick once you get used to it.

Here - Jason Gammel and I do things roughly the same way. He lets 'em fly a little more than I do though. Same ground disposal method, same opening method.
