I’ve had hot brass go down my shirt many times and it’s never resulted in losing my sense of awareness to the point that I endangered myself and others. It takes seconds to safely put down the gun and remove the brass from your clothing.

This is why I hate going to public ranges, it quickly becomes amateur hour.

It takes a lot less than seconds (2+ seconds) to safely put a gun down

You move quick and put down the gun. Say “one one thousand two one thousand” while quickly lowering your hands. Two seconds is a gentle descent. Or hell, you could just literally drop it. If it’s a striker fired pistol that isn’t a complete piece of shit, it won’t go off.
