First and foremost I must lead with this; I am a sucker for DIY, an occasional penny pincher where I should not, a fool for spending as the mood strikes, and seldom given to reasons for the why of each decision.
Does that explain my sudden interest in upgrading from my current Caldwell Velcro brass catcher to a Picatinny variant? I couldn’t say either except I’ve read good things here lately and decided it was time. Knowing Caldwell’s reputation for making some solid gear as well as iffy knock-offs (Harris bipods anyone?), it seemed odd that I was caught looking at knock-offs of a relatively inexpensive item, in this case an Amazon suggestion.
Before you could say get your head right, man! I was ordering a pair of these wonder nets that promised to be every bit as good from Gloryfire, a company I have never heard of, for the paltry sum of $48.12 ($24.06/ea); a savings of roughly $9.00 x 2 over the Caldwell version.
They arrived in excellent condition albeit too late for my range day but I did happen while cleaning my pistol to unbox one and set it up. I assume instructions were included but did not avail myself since the catcher is self-explanatory. Overall impressions are positive and I’m rather confident in thinking a few more will be coming my way in the near future. If you’re in the market for a new catcher, I’m confident the Gloryfire will save you just as much brass as a Caldwell along with your $9.
As delivered, assembled and with two hex wrenches.
A rail mount for attachment with multiple detents built in.
Adapter mount in place and bag removed. That won’t work!
Another view. Those two clamp screws can be loosened up to adjust fore/aft positioning.
After adjustment the fit is spot on.
