Pardini HP32 Brass Catcher
Posted: Mon May 24, 2021 10:26 am
My HP32 tends to spit 32ACP brass all over the place and those very small cases can be very hard to find in the grass or out amongst a carpet of 22 and other brass. I have worked out the best position for my normal brass catcher net, but there are always several 32ACP cases that fly past it every session.
I know that Walther (and possibly others) have offered a gun mounted catcher for many years. So I was very interested to come across someone offering one for the Pardini. Here is the link:-

I ordered two complete sets - total cost EUR88 including shipping. Took a couple of weeks for the small package to arrive from France.
It happens that I have several 32ACP magazines for my HP32 and so I mounted the two adapters on two dedicated magazines. The catcher nets are mounted on plastic posts which can be easily detached from the base (which is securely attached the bottom of each magazine). It is possible to load the magazines without detaching the nets, just a bit fiddly. Sometimes I remove the nets, sometimes not. Either way works.
Once the command to load has been given and I push the magazine into the gun the only change from normal is that I need to be careful to move my trigger finger around the net - not a problem, just a small change that one has to get used to. I have used the catchers for several training sessions and two CF900 matches - no problems or malfunctions - excellent. I keep a zip bag on the bench and it is easy to discharge the brass from the catcher into the bag after each stage. I have experienced a couple of shells sneaking out past the catcher, but they have then landed on the bench anyhow.
Good design, good manufacture and they work very well - Excellent!!! Highly recommended - no commercial interest on my part - other than being a satisfied customer. The vendor tells me that the Pardini Importer to Norway has ordered several sets.
