Carlson's Auto Catcher for 12/20 ga Right Hand Only

The Carlson's Auto Catcher for 12/20 ga Right Hand Only is a purpose-built shell catcher designed to eliminate the frustration of hunting or training with manual ejection systems. This accessory serves shooters who demand cleaner range sessions, easier brass recovery, and safer shooting environments where ejected shells pose a hazard or cleanup burden. Built by Carlson's Choke Tubes LLC—a manufacturer with deep roots in shotgun optimization—the Auto Catcher represents the practical evolution of shotgun ergonomics for both tactical operators and clay sports enthusiasts.

This right-hand-only model automatically captures ejected 12 and 20 gauge shells before they scatter across the ground, reducing environmental clutter and enabling rapid shell collection for reloading or recycling. The compact design—measuring 3.75 inches in length with minimal profile—mounts cleanly to compatible shotgun receivers without impeding sight picture or adding significant bulk. Weighing just 0.09 pounds, the Auto Catcher introduces negligible weight penalty while delivering measurable operational benefit, particularly during high-volume training scenarios where shell recovery becomes a logistical concern.

Law enforcement and military personnel engaged in shotgun proficiency drills benefit substantially from shell containment, as do competitive clay shooters who shoot multiple rounds per session. The right-hand orientation ensures natural ejection capture without fouling your support hand or interfering with shooting grip—critical for maintaining weapon control under stress or during rapid-fire strings. Installation is straightforward on compatible 12 and 20 gauge shotgun platforms; verify your firearm's ejection port configuration before purchase to ensure proper fit and function.
