Plans for a brass deflection screen? Empty Plans for a brass deflection screen?

Post by Mike38 9/11/2017, 7:37 pm

Does anyone know where I can find plans to build a light weight very portable brass deflection screen? I need to make two of them. At a match yesterday, the guy on my left ejected into my chest, almost every shot. The guy to my right had a left handed 1911 that ejected about 1 out of 5 shots right into my face. I suppose I could cobble something together, but plans of something that has been proven to work would be nice. Nothing against these shooters! I'm actually kind of laughing about it as I type this. It wasn't fun at the time, but looking back, I find it humorous.

I got mine from Wes Fleming, i think it was like 10$ and he gives the money to the junior program. It fits behind the pistol tray in the gu ho box.  

Its heavy duty chicken wire with all the edges rounded.

I'd like to know where the left hand eject came from... I'm left handed, and it would a great "give back" to those that don't use brass catchers...

I staple mine to the side of my gunbox.

A pretty critical piece of equipment, IMO.

I'm thinking of another brass catcher so I can collect twice as much brass.

No need to overthink it. Just get some 1/4" "hardware cloth". Trim it to the appropriate size and figure out a good way to attach it to your gun box lid.
