I loose a bunch of casings when shooting in the rough, Any advice on a good catcher would be much appreciated.

If you’re stationary, put down a tarp.
The sooner I fall behind...the more time I have to catch up with
I do the tarp thing already but my .45 Springer tries to do everything but hit the tarp. I’m about ready to build an overgrown butterfly net for the darn thing.

Tuning the ejector and extractor will control how the pistol throws the brass. I know this isn't what the OP was asking, but it goes a long way to where the brass ends up.
As for a brass catcher, a PVC frame that holds a bed sheet will work. Glue most of it together but leave some joints as slip fit. Light and easy to carry, set up and take down. Design it such that it is basically a backstop, where the brass then rolls to the bottom of it.

My Kimber micro 9 is the worst gun I own for trying to lose brass. It throws 20 feet in ALL directions. I DO need to try and tune that extractor, but it can be loads and different ammo also. Was shooting my Ruger AR yesterday. 20 odd rounds of factory, fell in a 3 foot circle slightly ahead. My reloads fell into about the same size pile, but 10 feet behind the other pile.

QUIS CUSTODIET IPSOS CUSTODES?
I've been using a Graco Mark Case Catcher for 8 years on my 40, 9mm & 10mm. It catches 98% of the brass, but you must have a picatinny rail to attach it. They do make one that straps to your wrist, but I've never used that model.
I know this isn't the answer you're looking for, but my solution was to buy a S&W M-25 (way back in 1989). I don't know about the rest of you guys, but I grew very weary of having to stoop over and pick up my brass all the time. A tarp works OK, but ya still gotta pick it up and spend a lot of time looking for it. We have volcanic cinders where I shoot, and they are famous for hiding your brass from you.
i would sooner chase brass than hang something from my auto's!!
I tried those handheld brass catchers and couldn't shoot with them, although one of my range buddies does okay with it.
Old enough to know better, young enough to do it anyway!
