ABSTRACT:
A catcher in combination with a firearm having an ejection port for receiving and retaining expended magnetically attracted shell casings through the ejection port as the firearm is discharged. The catcher includes a hollow housing having a plurality of rigid walls. One of the walls has an opening in communication with the ejection port when the catcher is mounted to the firearm for receiving the shell casings, and at least one of the other walls includes a plurality of deflectors. Each of the deflectors has a front face that is slanted away from the opening such that the deflectors are capable of deflecting the shell casings away from the opening and a rear face that is perpendicular to the planar surface of the housing or slanted away from the opening. Retainers at the rear face of the deflectors are capable of retaining the shell casings when the catcher is in any position. The retainers include a permanent magnetic material.
