Default Brass catcher for 3rd Generation autos?

Hey,

Does anyone know of a brass catcher that will work on older S&Ws (non-picattiny)?

I'm thinking specifically of the Mod. 915.

Velcro and a small bait net, right?

Sounds easy and also sounds like the perfect recipe for repetitive, small adjustment frustration.

Or since this forum doesn't allow linking to other sites easily search for Caldwell Brass Trap.

I was thinking of the type that attaches to the pistol as opposed the the freestanding type.

I failed to specify. Sorry.

Net and ducktape.....Net and old camera tri-pod....
At shooting range , net and adjustable clamp to clamp onto anything around you.
Get creative with net and different holders...it doesn't have to be attached to the gun , in fact it might be better if the catcher isn't attached !

I purchased one like DuneShoot suggested. It works like a dream. I wasn't crazy about the ones that fasten to the gun. It seems that would throw off the balance of the gun.
