2/3rds of my freeking handgun brass flew infront of the fireing line at the indoor shooting range. Gerrr. This cut my trip real short. When shooting 10mm I want to keep all the brass I can. It is hard to find, people that shoot it tend to keep the brass. Is there any way to "catch" brass with pistol rounds I have hurd of devices that strap to your hand or wrist with a net on them. How do these work and are they effective. It would be nice to come home with brass.

I dont always loose this much brass but today I could not seam to position myself to where i would not loose brass It bounced off the wall and went foward every time.

:mad:

There are commercial made brass catchers that attach to the firearm, for both handguns and longarms. Might do a Goggle search for brass catchers and see what you come up with.

I've used both the gun-attached type and the velcroed-to-the hand type. I find they either get in the way or cause occasional feed failures when a case bounces off the edge of the gadget right back into the action. The hand-strapped type will occasionally capture a piece of hot brass and keep it sitting on my hand where it meets the grip panel.

If your gun throws its brass consistently to the side, consider setting up a stationary net on a stand. If it is bouncing out in front of the firing line after hitting the firing point partition at the range, consider cutting up a cardboard box to create a surface that angles and deflects slightly to the rear. Another tool used by rifle shooters is just a small window-size piece of plastic door screen dangling from a horizontal rod on a stand. If you get the brass to hit it, it tends to absorb the velocity and cause the brass to fall at the foot of the screening.

Good luck. I've never been able to avoid making at least a few sacrifices to the Range Gods, whether I had a brass catcher or not.

One of my shooting pards had the same problem. Yes, 10 mm brass is NOT often found on range floors. My shooting pard finally went the way of a new Bar-Sto barrel in .40 S&W. He no longer loses 10 mm brass and has accumulated a ton of free, .40 S&W range brass.

Here is what a search on midwayusa turned up. They also have reviews on the first 2 hits.

Two tripods such a music stands from a pawn shop, and some matierial such as curtain sheers. Position where needed and catch your brass.

I was thinking that if you shoot rifle, you could buy a spotting scope stand and let it double as your pistol brass stop. You just need a crossarm to support the screen or deflector. Another thought is that at the indoor range you probably have target runners overhead, but if there are partitions between firing points, you could hang a string on plastic clips that grab the front edges of the partitions on either side, then hang plastic window screen on the right side of the runner lines, and fire from next to it. You just have to not get the ejector port out in front of the screens.
