My custom, on-gun brass catcher.

[Ri22o]

I couldn't find a place that sold a brass catcher that would attach to my Glock 19, so I fabbed one up. I used a Simmons 1" weaver ring and a fishing net. The total was about $12.50 and 30 minutes. The rings are sold in pairs, so the cost per catcher would be about $9.

I have only been able to test it by manually pulling the slide back, but if it works by that method, then it should work when firing.

It's not the prettiest thing, but it saves searching for the brass.

you really don't want to have to bend over do you

It's not that, so much as it's the grass/hay at my grandmother's house. We shoot out back of her house in the field and it's hard as hell to find anything that hits the ground out there.

This is just a temporary 'fix' until I can find the mesh/net I am looking for to build an upright unit.

Looks effective. How badly does it affect the balance of the gun?

What're the BG's gonna think when you point that contraption at them?

Hes a well armed fisherman!?!?!?!?

In holding and pointing, I haven't really noticed any difference in the balance.

I only plan on using this when I'm shooting, just to shoot. I won't use it when I need the gun to be in my edc configuration.


Yes, like I said, it looks goofy, but form < function.:rolleyesedit:

I heard a rumor a while ago about them doing a movie adaptation of Tom Clancy's No Remorse. Perhaps you should contact the producers and see if they would like to use this instead of the custom machine job on John Clark's 1911 with .22lr adapter.

In all seriousness, while it looks pretty stupid you can't argue with a $12.50 bubba job like that.

WHAT, No Remorse movie?!?! Thats my favorite book of all time! In fact, I'm reading it right now for about the 5th time hahaha

Hey Nick, I was thinking about it last night....we could just lay down a tarp where we shoot, and the casings would land on it?

I like the fishing net idea, I was wondering what you had in mind

I just checked IMDB and it lists nothing - like I said, rumor. To be honest though i'm not sure I'd want them to do a movie adaptation...it'd take a very good director to pull it off, without it being some retarded explosions-every-five-minutes actionfest.

Yeah spreading out a few tarps to the right of and behind you isn't a bad idea at all.

I use a 10 x 10 tarp which works great. I spread the tarp out behind and to the right. Most of the brass lands on it. Works for when I'm shooting from one place. But if I'm shooting and moving nothing works.

I had thought about doing that. The only problem I can see what that is with the sun and heat and possibly being out there for a couple of hours it could kill the hay under the tarps.

If it does what you want it to do then I dont see a thing wrong with it.


I havent started picking up my brass yet.
