If you want to avoid spending the back half of your day at the range picking up the brass casings, a brass catcher will come in handy.
Given how much time & money folks invest in their AR-15 – with rails, accessories, and various upgrades – something as simple as a brass catcher – that snags your casings before they hit the ground – will keep your casings clean and ensure you spend more of your time putting lead down-range than picking up cold brass.
After considering 15 different brass catchers and testing 8 of them on a series of different rifles—including an AR-15, 22LR, and SKS —we recommend the Caldwell Pic Rail Brass Catcher as the best brass catcher for most recreational shooters who like to collect and reload their casings.
If you prefer a non-attached brass trap or are looking for a budget option, we have also provided recommendations for those.
