Does anyone have any experience with the Morton Automated Shell Catching device for a Winchester SX-1? (http://tommortonandcompany.com/maforwisx1.html)
I would be very interested in hearing from anyone who has used this gizmo. In particular,
1. Does it affect the weight or swing of the gun?
2. What effect does it have on recoil?
3. Am I correct that the gizmo will require that you manually re-open the bolt every time you shoot?
4. If you have to manually reopen the bolt, won't the spent shell fly out when you open the gun? (I guess if you're very careful, you could avoid this problem, but I would rather focus on shooting very carefully than on opening the gun very carefully.)
A regular shell catcher is no good for me because I'm left handed - if I use one I wind up with a green bar (the shell) in front of my eye right after I shoot. Disconcerting, to say the least.
