One of the signs of a quality firearm, long or short, is a nice neat pile of brass consistently thrown in the same place. Or at least that’s what I always thought. My new Arex doesn’t agree. Yesterday afternoon I shot a couple of magazines of practice ammo at my yard target, then went (all) around industriously policing brass, noting that I seemed to be missing about three. A few hours later I found them…
…in the right front breast pocket of my shirt, the flap of which had apparently gotten tucked in. I didn’t put’em there.
Nope, never had a semi-auto, pistol or rifle, that ejected consistently. The only way I’ve ever been able to consistently collect all my brass is to lay out a painter’s tarp. If I’m lucky, it’ll be just a buddy and myself at the gun club where he’s a member, and I can wander around the line picking up. Indoor ranges? Forget about it.
In other words, the gun you have is ideal for a well-endowed female who wears a loose-fitting top.
Great way to get a “hot brass dance!”
The only time I’ve ever had a nice, neat pile of brass was when I was doing PPC with a revolver. 🙂 Every auto I’ve ever had, tossed the brass all over hells half acre. It’s a good thing that you aren’t a south paw, those brass casings could have gone down the front of your shirt. Then, it’s a hot time in the ol’ town tonight.
