As far as I know, all modern break-open shotguns have an automatic safety. There are some shooters that disengage this but most leave it alone. It doesn't really add any time to your score to disengage it. I usually mount the shotgun to my shoulder with my shooting hand thumb riding the rear of the safety. As the shotgun gets into the "pocket" I push forward on the safety by flicking my thumb forward then firing.
For clarification, I believe that you have extractors and not ejectors (ejectors are illegal in many CAS-type shoots). Extractors pull the shell partially out of the chamber so that the operator may manually pull them out of the weapon and ejectors throw the shell completely out of the weapon automatically. As long as it's working correctly I see no need to mess with it.
