In work ups for semi auto handguns, I wrap my pistol and hand with a towel.
Isn't it be hard to see the sights, not to mention operating the slide?
Not really practical for practice, but for working up loads, probably a good idea for more reasons than brass recovery.

The best way to catch brass, two methods come to mind. First shoot a revolver, Second, find yourself a large-breasted lady with a low cut top. Best method I've seen and quite entertaining.
Better still, a small-breasted lady wearing a large-breasted blouse. More room for the brass before emptying.
Yeah, you're in trouble. Probably both of us.
Or, you could wear the blouse yoursel?
Aside from the tent I just bought, I thought of another possible solution.
I have placed my devices on the ground, on the shooting bench, mounted on my gun hand, on the gun and hanging from the overhead. I have tried shooting from the inside of a refrigerator box through a window in front with a door in the back.
I just thought of another place (it hit me when I read Thorn's post). Get (or make) a hat with a 4' long bill about 2' wide with netting hanging down from it. That would solve my problem of having to adjust for height of the catcher as I change positions from seated to standing. Also allows me to use my peripheral vision to keep watch to my right and left and lets other shooters keep an eye on what I am doing (which some of my other ideas did not).
As long as the draped cloth/netting does not direct the brass bouncing back towards my face (or into my blouse?)
