@Mrw0fflez Single barrel shotguns tend to eject VERY strongly. It's not you or your guns fault, it's just how they usually are. They're considered very reliable for their simplicity and the ability to eject even the most stubborn shell.

@Mrw0fflez The shell flies out? If so, why are you complaining because the extractor works? Isn't extracting a hot, recently fired shell by hand a lot more annoying than having the gun's mechanism do the work?

[Mrw0fflez]

try that with my single shot .410 :) not as easy now is it w/o a safty, the shell flys out no matter what

[MrFermanaghman]

Just one thing I would add. Make sure the safety catch is on! do this before breaking open as shown above.
