Handgun Picatinny Brass Catcher
Hell0,
What would you recommend? Need to find some kind of solution for indoor ranges that don't let pick up brass. All I can see so far is Graco Models Mark II Picatinny Mounted Brass Catcher Any other suggestion or recommendation? Thanks. |

I bought one , it sucked . The one I bought you need
to clamp to side board or have a tripod . I made one out of a laundry bag not much better . I switched to 2 other ranges that let me pick up . I saw one where a guy cut the bottom 10 / 12 inches out of a 5 gallon bucket - it seemed to work , but only at outdoor range . Too big for indoor .

I've used this one once with not much success. But that is on me, I need to use it more to see if it's works.

Take a look at this website, http://sherwoodakuna.com/, Akuna Brass Catcher. I bought one several years ago for my pistols. It works fairly well and does not block the site.

I've got this one. Very nice. Height adjusts easily, the net is held open by two folding arms and the frame will tilt over the gun to catch brass from guns the eject more up than out to the side. It's spendy, but is well built with quality materials.

If that's too inconvenient, then I would only shoot steel-case ammo like Wolf. |

^^^agreed. I understand if they don't want you picking up all the brass but if they told me I can't reclaim my own the. I won't be shooting there.
Best I could advise would be a net setup to catch it, however if they won't allow you to bend over and pickup the brass then they will probably tell you they won't allow the net either. I have seen the brass catchers on ARs but for a pistol I wouldn't want something awkward hanging off of it. Maybe one of these? https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?m...2F202139473095

Sort of lame so bending over to pick up brass is not the easiest...I shoot handguns indoors where I can keep my own brass....I "sweep" it into a pile when I'm done....they furnish sort of a big squeegee to police the area...then I take a small kids toy broom and angle head dust pan and sweep the pile into a bag or box and sort it all out when I get home...I also have used my Wife's little "picker upper" folding tongs with a trigger to grab things...strangely enough it will work on brass (one at a time) with no strain...so pile it up and pick the brass out of the pile.
I have one of the mesh things that slips over your hand and it works about half the time.... I was starting to go to one range and the RSO was lurking behind the line and as soon as the brass hit the floor he was on it like a hawk..I told him I saved my brass and he said if it hits the floor it's theirs...last time there... I don't grab brass other than mine unless someone has offered to let me pick it up and my brass is mine...too many lurkers waiting to grab brass and I fear it's going to get worse....that's why I'm shooting more revolver and bolt actions lately.

I have never seen an indoor range that would prohibit a brass catcher on a gun. However, the vast majority of those prohibit the brass pick up. Exactly "if it hits the floor, it's ours". Yet, between picking up hundreds of shot brass and having an odd attachment to the gun, I would probably choose the latter.
