    Boy did I get an education in a hurry

    I have long been a fan of the 1911 pistol. Uncle Sam let me borrow one for use in his Army, in a land far, far away, many, many, years ago. I had an opportunity to purchase a 1911 A1 Mil Spec from Springfield Armory. New gun, Great looker. So, like any red blooded american boy, I took it...

    Wondering why we don't see more extractors

    Greetings to the forum. I haven't posted here but a few times but enjoy the conversation and information. My question is why don't break action shotgun makers install extractors rather than ejectors in Single shot, SXS and O/U's? They make a lot more sense to me and I hate to look for the...
