Caldwell Brass Catcher with Heat Resistent Mesh, Collapsible, Mountable, for Range, Shooting, and Outdoors

It only took one yell for me to realize how good this product truly is! I was having feed problems with my AR 10 and I left this brass catcher off once. My buddy, who was shooting black powder to my right, yelled when I sent hot brass down his shirt back. I never left the catcher off after that. This thing is great. It doesn't have to be built like a tank to function. The netting doesn't melt with the hot brass, the zipper is smooth, and the opening for the brass is large enough for .308 brass. If you are unfortunate enough to have issues with your gun, you can leave the bottom of the net unzipped to send the brass down to your feet. The zippered opening is large enough to get your hands through it if you need to removed jammed rounds or pry a cartrige into or out of the chamber for removal. It may not be sturdy enough to hold a lot of brass without emptying, so if you want to empty your large capacity magazines, just unzip it at the bottom and let the brass fall directly down at your feet. You won't have to scoure a large area to make sure you found all your brass. The netting and catcher do not damage your brass at all. I wish everyone with AR style rifles used these at the ranges. It would greatly reduce the distractions caused by other shooters due to being peppered by their brass. Pros: Very light weight Works flawlessly when positioned correctly Small capacity so you aren't carrying extra brass Can be used to deflect brass to your feet. Cons: I still worry that the nylon netting may melt with some really hot rounds. Small capacity and you will have to regularly empty it if you are just plinking. Not enough AR shooters have and use these.

Small and compact. You have to bend the crosspiece a touch to get it to better formfit your rail, and velcro it on tight as can be (bending the wire a tad further to give you some spring tension) but after that 30 seconds of effort you can forget about the thing and just shoot. It is so lightweight it will not change the balance of your weapon, and it is so small it will not require any special handling to get around it like some of the pricier, fancier catchers will.Now, I *have* had a few rounds melt to the synthetic mesh enough that I can see the mesh eventually fraying as a result of repeatedly pulling off brass mated to the mesh... BUT here's the solution to that: Leave the bottom unzipped and don't try to hold the brass in it... just use this tool to control where it falls - on your table or right at your feet. All brass catchers fill up and if you start using one you will quickly discover that its time to empty the catcher when your weapon jams from a bagful of brass. Nature of the beast. This product lets you get around that. Leave the zipper open and hot brass never melts to the mesh since it falls thru, and more importantly you can ignore the brass catcher entirely and just shoot... Lastly its so small you'll easily forget its even on the weapon. Sure you have to pick up your brass but even standing on a slab of cement your rounds will go no further than a foot or two. Dirt simple. For uninterrupted shooting with unadulterated weapon handling this is the best tool for the job. The fact that its less than 15 bucks is a bonus

Catcher ! This device is exceptionally simple in operation and function and works just as advertised . If you've ever thought of collecting brass or sparing the poor sap beside you the small burn rings from your brass then this gem is the ticket . $10 here on Amazon and free s&h thru Prime i had this baby in 2 days and on the range in 3 ! My experience with it tells me the following ... it will hold easily 2 full mags from the AR or about 60+ rounds at that point it's pretty full but could likely take another half mag of brass . It also taught me that even with it's secure metal wire frame construction once you've got 2 mags of brass in it , it begins to droop and sag pulling it off the ejection port and thus effectively not working as advertised but this is not an issue . Simply unzip the bottom of the catch bag and whaa laa all your brass falls out . This device simply secures to your rifle by means of velcro . Granted that doesn't sound so impressive and honestly it's not but it is relatively effective and does the trick but a second attatchment point , say a rail mount clip of some sort towrard the rear of the rifle would've been the icing on the cake ! ( just a humble lil' 2 cents to the manufacturer for a future update !!! ) but all in all and aside from that 1 draw back i'm happy with it and suspect all but the most discerning customer will be also !

Wraps around my auto loading rimfire so I don’t have to chase brass when shooting varmits.

I have been using this product for more than two weeks now. In that time, I've had an opportunity to evaluate both the quality of the product and the overall usability. In creating this review I've considered both the type of material used in making the product as well as the overall fit and finish. I've also considered how well the product meets my needs and whether there are any shortcomings or particular advantages in using this product. For this particular product, the type of material used in the manufacture and creation of the product seems to be of very good quality. One must consider that for any product of this type there is a balance between the type of material used and the cost that is to be passed on to the consumer. I think for this product that balance has been met fairly well and I believe that the product will meet the expectations of most buyers. With regard to the fit and finish of this particular product, I believe it to be about average for the products of similar make or style. That is to say that it is not of poor or moderate craftsmanship/finish nor is it something that I would rate as outstanding. The quality of the piece is such that I feel it is a good value for the money. Finally, as with many products of this type, the value that a consumer sees is dependent on the expectation. When I ordered this product my expectations were moderate, especially because of the price. In an age where we demand low price but often want high quality, it is often best if we expect moderate to good quality instead. I did that with this product as was pleasantly surprised to find that the quality was at least good, if not just a tad bit better than good. For that reason, and those set out above, I'd make a recommendation to buy this product.

This fits well and is highly adjustable, so on the positive side, this catcher works well for the first several rounds. After a few minor adjustments, it performed flawlessly during initial firing. However, somewhere between 15-20 rounds, the bounce-backs and jams start happening. The mesh allows the brass to cool, but also tends to snag the round upon ejection and deflect it back toward the next ejecting round. Jams are a frequent visitor once you hit 15 or so, even if you're shaking the bag between rounds to get the brass to fall down into the bag where it is supposed to go. This is better than most brass catchers, but the constant jams are annoying to the point of making a $4 tarp a better option for gathering your brass. Good attempt by Caldwell, but the small bag size means constant firing stoppages, so three stars is all this one garners.

Great price and works well. I recently upgraded my collection by getting a 300 Blackout AAC upper for my SBR. I've been converting .223 brass over to 300 blk and don't want to lose the stuff. So I got one of these catchers for some shooting last weekend. I got it overnight so I had it for a shoot on Sunday. Good fast delivery is sometimes really helpful. Anyway, you have to slightly mold the metal wire inside the cover to wrap around the forward grip with the strap. I did it by hand but it would probably be easier with some pliers. Just place it where the rear part encloses the back side of the shell deflector, then strap it down tight at the front. I also had to bend the wire to get the frame to sit tight against my receiver. Easy enough. Testing worked out great. I was shooting semi-auto and it had no trouble catching all my brass. You can leave the zipper closed and then empty the bag from time to time, or leave it open and let the brass just fall straight down into a little pile. Nice dual feature. The thing is light and the bag is pushed out just enough to give you a clearance for your right hand to reach through to the grip with no interference. Well minimum anyway. Definitely a useful device and well worth the price.

I am usually only able to find about 75% of my brass when I go to the range -- I bought this so that I could 1. recover 100% of my precious metal tubes, and 2. stop wasting time pacing back and forth at the range like a chicken. It works great, but you need to have a pretty open setup on your upper and near the rear of the handguard -- I had to remove the offset rear sight I had which sat directly behind the deflector ramp, and the velcro strap goes around the very rear of the handguard where it connects to the upper.

Fits my S&W M&P 22-15 just fine.

Funktioniert einwandfrei, produziert keine Ladehemmungen oder sonstige Störungen. An meiner AR15 von Schmeisser, super!

Sacca raccogli-bossoli/brass catcher pensata principalmente per sistemi AR-15 ma che fortunatamente è possibile adattare su altri modelli di arma (nel mio caso una carabina CZ Bren). Ero un pò dubbioso sulla resistenza al calore della parte in rete della sacca ma finora si è dimostrata essere resistente al calore dei bossoli roventi, vediamo quanto i materiali resisteranno sul lungo periodo. Per ora posso considerarmi soddisfatto del prodotto.

I use this on my M&P sport 2. It catches the brass and saves me from collecting it off the ground after. The only drawback and these are minor grips: beginners should not use this as the ejection port is obscured and you cant see if the bold is open or check for obstructions. After 30 rounds the catcher should be emptied as it affects your shooting. Occasionally a shell will not extract and you get a FTF. Good for experienced shooters and firing from the bench. Not good for tacticool drills nor beginners.

Pratique pour éviter de ramasser les étuies. Marche bien pour le 9mm que le 223.
