Benefits of technology

The invention is a container that can be attached to a handgun and collect the empty shell casings that are ejected when the gun is fired. It can be easily detached without needing to remove it from the handgun. The container is lightweight and doesn't affect the accuracy or fatigue of the firearm. Additionally, it eliminates the need for bulky plastic or metal mounts that could negatively impact the firearm's performance.

Problems solved by technology

Conventionally, shell casings laterally ejected from pistols scatter within several feet of the firearm user, and are difficult to find and retrieve, if the firearm user attempts to do so at all.
This can litter areas such as hunting grounds and shooting ranges, especially the outdoor variety.
Occasionally, discharged shells hit firearm users or bystanders, sometimes causing fear, disorientation, or even injury and death.
