      I have one of the velcro-mounted type. When I first started using it, it would eventually shift due to weight and start causing ejection malfunctions. I ended up leaving the zipper open so that brass didn't stay collected in the bag but rather would slowly come out onto the shooting bench for easy collection. It is much less problematic now that I leave it unzipped.
      Do not try and bend the spoon, that's impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth...there is no spoon.

        Same here, I have and use both without any problems.

          I personally want to modify it to do this. As minimal of material as possible just enough to get the casing to drop near me. I wonder if theres a mod that helps redirect where the brass gets deflected to or I'll just cut the brass catcher up to the ejection port

            Or get one of these, brass goes either down or drops lightly forward.

              I dived right in to this $200 contraption from Tactical Brass Recovery: https://www.tacticalbrassrecovery.com/

              It mounts to the vertical pic rail of your front handguard, can be swing around, and has a bottom zipper for easy removal. When I bought it a number of years ago, I don't recall it being $229 - I thought it was more in the $160~ range. The current price is probably beyond what I would spend for a brass catcher, but I've never had it cause ejection failures.

              Gavin Newsom is a lying, cheating slickster and will be is the worst mistake California has ever made if he gets now that he has been elected Governor. Hollywood movie producers look to him and his oleaginous persona as a model for the corrupt "bad guy" politician character. This guy is so greasy, he could lubricate an entire arsenal of AR-15s just by breathing on them.
