A-Zoom 44 Magnum Snap Caps (6 Pieces)

A-Zoom snap caps are the ones I have come to rely on. The metal construction has stood up over time of cycling and dry firing, other brands seem to crack or rims tear/break off from extraction. they are great for practice when you can't get to the range and you want to work on your trigger squeeze, pull weight adjustment or cycling practice, and a must have for shotguns where there is only one way to release the firing pin spring for storage and that is pull the trigger. These ones are being used in a lever rifle as opposed to a revolver handgun and there has been no issues with them.

I made the mistake of buying the "Amazon Warehouse Deal" version of these snap caps. So, the package of these snap caps look like they've been dragged through the warehouse floor or something... Therefore, the edges of the snap cap rims were flattened on one side; that made the rim thicker at one point rather than being round. As a result, these snap caps made my revolver cylinder sticky when spinning. I had to pull the trigger about a dozen times on DA to smooth these out. I guess they're working okay now...Edit: I've found that the damage was so bad that the snap caps dented, in addition, to scratching up my revolver backplate. I can deal with scratches, but the dents take the cake...

As noted by a previous reviewer, "blanks" Snap Caps cannot be fired in all weapons without firing pin damage. To deal with flinching I was shooting mixed ammo and blanks. After many rounds, the firing pin failed. When I called the factory, I was told not to "fire" any type blanks in my Henry rifle. I have used 9mm Snap Caps without problems in semi-auto handguns. I believe Snap Caps are a great training aid, but they cannot be used in all firearms.

I purchased these snap caps so I could train with a revolver elsewhere than the range without the possibility of becoming the next idiot in the news to negligently discharge a firearm and hurt or kill somebody. They're not quite as weighted as the 240gr rounds I actually shoot, but they're durable and easily distinguishable from live ammunition - though I check and double-check anyway. There's no margin for error when it comes to firearms, and I take that extremely seriously. Even with dummy rounds, I follow the 4 Rules religiously (see Rule #1).They're terrific for running draw/reload drills, though I would rather use a dummy weapon for retention training with other people. They do an excellent job of absorbing dry firing, and I feel secure in knowing I'm not damaging parts of the firearm that my life may depend upon when out in the woods. I bought two sets, and they're worth the price.

I got these snap caps to cycle through my Rossi 92 44 cal. carbine. The action was somewhat rough with a few rounds hanging up. The rifle has seen little use but I wanted to take the opportunity I have to take it deer hunting. Thinking that some "Break-in" would solve this problem and not wanting to use up all my ammo, I got these snap caps. After running these through several times---Problem solved. These caps look to be quite durable. For my need, they were perfect!!!
