Question 1

Is the rim the same size as real ammo? I need some for practicing with my revolver using moon clips. The tiptons were not the correct size.

Accepted Answer

There are minor differences. I used a calipher to measure both a snap cap and a live 9mm RN round.  The 9mm snap cap measure OAL = 1.1625" (29.53mm), rim diameter = 0.384" (9.75mm) and rim thickness = .059" (1.49mm).The real 9mm round nose measures = OAL 1.158" (29.42mm), rim diameter 0.3885" (9.87mm) and rim thickness 0.049" (1.25").  I do not have any 9mm moon clips to test the snap cap into a revolver.  They work well in a semi-auto pistol.  I do not like the fact that they are much too similar in appearance to a live round.  The weight and color almost the same as a real round.  Be very careful and do not mix any snap caps with real rounds.

Question 2

Are these 9x21 mm or 9 parabellum? need to use them in my beretta 98fs, not in a glock or other smaller 9mm pistols.

Accepted Answer

These are 9mm Luger/9mm Parabellum. I purchased these on eBay from this seller, and the eBay description says 9mm Luger. They are the exact same ones sold here

Question 3

I wonder how long the bright orange strike plug will hold for dry firing?  Is this plug replaceable?  If so, how?

Accepted Answer

I don't know how long, so far no problems

Question 4

Anyone tried on a hk vp9? this doesn't work on my vp9, slide was not back completely to fully closed position. snap cap doesn't go through the chamber

Accepted Answer

Hi Daniel, While I do not have a VP9, these do work fine in my P320, Shield, & XDs.  They are solid brass and as such, they can be filed and/or polished a little if need be (and if you are so inclined). If they monitor these questions on Amazon, perhaps the manufacturer will be able to advise why they don't work in your VP9.
