I'd love to see a pic of one...I'm thinking a brass catcher on the calico is more of a neccessity since the large amounts of spent shells is going to make clean-up a pain.

The brasscatcher is only available for the 9mm and it works fine, but while I suspect that shooting the 9mm upside down (without the brascatcher) might cause cases to jam the bolt and keep it from closing, doing this with the brasscatcher on would almost guarantee it. It would be nice to have one for the .22. It would be nice to leave an area after shooting a few magazines without leaving all that brass behind. Maybe Calico could design one?

Currently I'm using a 1.75 liter Crown Royal bag tied directly to the gun, but it's not very professional looking...

On the upside the Crown Royal bag holds the proceeds from two magazines easily I wish I had a couple of more mags to find out the total possible load potential!!

That's a small catcher...it looks like it only holds about 50 shells.
The real "I wonder" question is why didn't Calico make the .22 a bottom eject as well...
