Bullet Traps and Clearing Stations

Snail® Systems Bullet Traps from Savage Arms have revolutionized the bullet trap industry. The bullet trap design incorporates low-angle ramps that deflect the bullet rather than smashing it, minimizing lead dust for a safer shooting environment. The bullet is deflected into a circular deceleration chamber where it slowly decelerates until stopping and dropping into a collection bin for optional recycling. No other bullet trap is as safe or environmentally sound. That's the Savage difference!

Forensic Buddy®

Forensic Buddy® developed as an efficient, non-destructive method of capturing bullets without the expense, mess and maintenance of water tanks, the Forensic Buddy meets all the demands of the forensic community. Extremely compact, economical and designed for single-shot use, either in the lab or as a portable unit, the Forensic Buddy contains a unique ballistic media that carefully collects specimens intact - so you can get a clean, accurate view of Land and Groove impressions.

If you need the best specimen for microscopic comparison, the Forensic Buddy has no equal.

The Forensic Buddy's special ballistic material, within an interior canister, stops the bullet with controlled deceleration then rests inside the canister. Just insert the muzzle of the handgun into the opening, aim straight and fire. Raise the back plate, remove and open the canister, pour the contents into the collection tray and recover the bullet. The media is reused and the plastic plug at the opposite end of the canister, where the bullet entered, is easily replaced when necessary.

The Lexan shell catcher protects the shooter from ejected casings. Just shoot straight into the opening for reliable results.

Check-it!™ Series

The Check-it!™ Series bullet trap was designed as a firearms "clearing station," to ensure no live ammunition is present before storing or cleaning a firearm.

The low angle ramps deflect the bullet into our round deceleration chamber where the bullet loses energy.
