    Default Do not buy a .380 for survival

    S! You can't locate the brass for reloading.

    I know I know. Everyone is feeling very serious at this time and here I am messing around but it is true. I lost 3 quarters of my brass in the crue-cut grass. I'm gonna need an indoor range, a metal detector, or a brass sniffing dog to keep my LCP feed for practice. Now I know why I really prefer big cases. Reloaders are nuts..ya know.

    All you have to do is lay a 15'x 15' cheap wally world tarp down before you shoot. Pick the brass back up when your done. The range I use is small stones i hat looking for brass.

    But I look so silly laying out a wallyworld tarp at my fancy-arse shooting gallery. Can't someone make the dog!?

    Try the TSA maybe, Mine gets confused with brass/ass I dont think he can tell them apart. He does seem real happy to sniff either.

    I set up a straight piece of cardboard on the bench that I am shooting from. After a couple of times you can angle the cardboard so the cases hit the board and drop down on the table. An ammo can on both sides of the cardboard holds it steady and the inside one catches many cases if you remove/open the lid.

    Very easy to make. The red necks down here got made out of everything from PVC to a pool cleaning net on a stand. My own people can be a little embarrassing at times, but ingenuitive.

    BCM and Glock...for a bigger pile of 'cold dead hands' brass.
