I read most of the reviews, both positive and negative before I purchased these. This is my second set of these as I wanted to practice with 10 rounds instead of five. I have cycled these through a Ruger P90 about 500 times with no issues that others have stated. They may not work for everyone or every weapon, but they worked flawlessly for me.

I've used these snap caps for literal decades now and never have I had any problems with them. I just used these ones for testing and fixing an extractor on a 1911 safely with no live ammo. On the durability side you cant go wrong with a full size aluminum build I mean I have owned plastic snap caps before and they get pretty chewed up on the rim where this stay true.

To be fair and honest, I will use this same review for all the snap caps I have purchased, nothing changes just because the caliber does.Snap caps are an inexpensive tool to use for training your trigger pull and reaction when pulling the trigger of your pistol. Before you take your pistol to the range, throw a few of these caps in pistol and practice squeezing the trigger so you get the feel of how much force you need and where it breaks when firing. Next, place a nickel or dime on the front of the barrel (on a semi-auto, this won't work on revolvers), close to the front site. Find a target to aim at, squeeze the trigger until the hammer fires, all while trying to keep the coin in place. Many people will flinch while pulling the trigger in anticipation of the of the upcoming shot. This practice will help minimize or eliminate this problem. The best part about this practice is you're not wasting ammo at the range, now when you get there you can feel more confident.These caps are used to protect the firing pin from bottoming out in its bore buy absorbing the impact when the trigger is pulled. You don't have to use them, but if you break a firing pin and have to have a gunsmith install a new one, the price for these caps would have been a real bargain.

I am 65 years old and I have been shooting since I was a young child. I have also been dry firing shotguns, rifles, and pistols as practice for "sight picture" and "trigger press" all of that time. I have NEVER ONCE broken a firing pin! However, the marketing department for the Snap-Cap folks has done a MASTERFUL job of CREATING FEAR that I may.So, I bought these. They seem to work very well so I can dry fire to my hearts content without worry. They are also a good product for small-arms training for inexperienced persons learning to load, fire, and clear a firearm. I have done my share of teaching as well. Anyway, God Bless and good shooting!

If you live by yourself in the country I am sure you can practice with the real thing all day long. If you live in a crowded apartment building in the city where you NEVER want to risk a accidental discharge then this is a fantastic little tool to have.If you use more than one at a time these do not feed well, either by design or accident. This may be by design to practice clearing jams. I had not thought I would enjoy clearing jams until I got these. It is great practice and may teach you about your gun features as well. Mine will not cock if the round is jammed - not ready to shoot. Which is nice because you do not want to think it is ready when it is not.I feel better about dry firing with this round because there is a drop of silicone or rubber where the pin hits the round to keep from damaging the firing pin.It is great for practice loading, practice clearing jams, handling the gun in general, dry firing (I know some say it is wrong to do, but they likely have the option to fire live rounds more.)If you are new to guns or to your gun, I would get these and start handling your gun every day all day if possible.Here is my product suggestions and hopes....i wish I could load 7 rounds and have 6 of them load, fire, slide-clear, fire... then the last round would jam.As it is.. I just use one at a time but I have really gotten very familiar with my gun in a short time without even having taking it to the range yet. it is not perfect it it good enough.

I have a collection of snap caps for my different firearms. They're always handy to test new accessories, verify the feed path, or do simulated load and unload drills if you're a competition shooter.

These things are pretty awesome. My pistol is a SA 1911 Mil Spec. I wish they came in more of a standard amount, say 7 or 8. The finish on the snap caps are easily scratched away. More than half of the red that used to be is now silver (still fine and they don't leave any paint behind on the gun, as far as I've noticed).These are probably more reliable than plastic rounds, although I have very limited experience with plastic practice rounds. They seem to be very durable, including dry firing. The place where the firing pin strikes is like a plastic material, not the same as the metal on the outside. I think this is probably better for the firing pin.Overall these should be used as practice to load and unload ammo, and stagger these inside a magazine with real ammo to see make sure proper jam-unloading procedure is done (not to mention see how you pull down or up or not with the gun expecting it to fire).
