Brass Catcher from CTK Precision
Semi-automatic guns, whether pistols, rifles or
shotguns, are fun and easy to shoot. So fun and
easy to shoot, in fact, that one can easily find
himself expending multiple boxes of ammunition
in a single session. Once the firing is over,
though, many of us will want to pick up our
spent cases. This is, shall we say, not so fun –
ejected brass has an amazing knack for finding
its way into the hardest-to-reach areas
possible. Picking it up usually involves a lot
of bending over, crawling around and reaching
into dark, dirty corners of the shooting area.
Plus, if you're sharing a shooting area with
other people, there's always the hassle of your
brass getting mixed in with theirs, stepped on,
or otherwise hazarded.
Fortunately, a company called CTK Precision
offers a brass catcher that is well-designed,
sturdy and portable. I had the opportunity to
test it with both a rifle and a pistol, and I
came away very favorably impressed.
Features of the CTK Brass Catcher
The CTK brass catcher, unlike many other models,
is of a stand-alone design. There's no need to
strap it to your wrist or somehow attach it to
the gun. This alone makes the CTK catcher more
convenient and usable than most others.
The first thing you notice about the CTK brass
catcher is its generous opening, which offers
over 225 square inches of catching space. While
this might not seem like a big deal, consider
that the larger the catching area is, the
further from your gun you can place the catcher
and still have it perform effectively. This is a
brass catcher that won't get in your way while
you're shooting.
And yes, that is a left-handed AR-15 in the
picture. The brass catcher works from either
side! |
