{{Short description|Device to catch ejected bullet casings}} {{one source|date=October 2017}}
A '''brass catcher''' (also '''brass trap''') is a device designed to capture cartridge casings, often made of brass, as they are ejected from a firearm. Various designs exist, utilizing a bag, pouch, net, or box to catch the casings. Some brass catchers, whether universal or designed for a specific gun, can be attached directly to the firearm. Other larger, free-standing brass catchers may be placed to the side of the firearm.<ref name="forbes">{{cite book | last = Forbes | first = Tom | title = PVC Projects for the Outdoorsman | date = 1999-03-01 | publisher = Paladin Press | isbn = 9781581600216 | quote = This handy brass catcher is adjustable to accommodate different shooting stances}}<!--| accessdate = 2014-01-27--></ref>
