Tipton Pistol Snap Caps with False Primer and Reusable Design for Dry-Firing, Gun Maintenance, Gun Storage

I’ve had these for a while, both 9mm and .40. Mixed in mag with live ammo for practice. They feed fine in glocks, Sig P226, and P10c in my testing. Some reported gold “slivers” getting sheared from the back but didn’t see it when I used.

I was skeptical when these arrived because they are very low weight. I like the internal spring design. You can see where the firing pin strikes the primer during a dry fire without causing any damage or wear. Time will tell how well they hold up.

There seem to be varying opinions on the need for snap caps. At this price point, I thought they were worth it just for the ability to safely confirm firing pin and ejector mechanism operations. The internal spring mechanism on the fake primer is a nice touch, and the items feel well-made and likely to last.

Not the mfr or seller fault, just a mild warning. My Desert Eagle .44 Mag will only hold 4 of these. More than that and the cap jams while feeding. The front is too blunt/square.

Exceptional quality snap caps, work great in my 45 Colt. Available in many different calibers.

I'd heard that snap caps were good if you were dry firing a lot, so I picked these up and was NOT disappointed. I probably dry fired a minimum of several hundred times, possibly even thousands of times with just a single pack of these, and I honestly can't tell one snap cap from the other. They all look like new and barely touched.

I looked and looked here at Amazon for the Tipton Snap Caps to go on sale - paying $16.34 just seemed nuts to me. Just three days ago, I looked and they were marked down to $7.94 for the box of five 9mm Luger. A whopping 50%+ off and I ordered two boxes. Returning often to Amazon has great rewards to a savvy shopper, something I believe Amazon smartly uses to keep us returning.The Tipton 9mm Luger snap caps came today, just 3 days after ordering, actually I believe I ordered very late in the evening, so 2.25 days is more realistic. I always look for a week or two at Amazon, the prices do vary greatly from day to day on many products. As I look now, the Snap Caps I bought 3 days ago for $7.94 are $16.34 - seriously, if you don't need it this minute, wait and catch a one day mark-down, I got 10 snap caps for the price of 5. BRAVO on the very fast delivery too, from Knoxville, TN to NJ is NOT a hop, skip and jump away and I chose regular delivery, nothing faster.As for the Tipton Snap Caps, wow! Very cool indeed. Dry firing your weapons is a great way to keep sharp, whether loading, firing, swapping magazines, racking the slide, practicing for failure to feed, failure to fire or any other motions you want to practice. Even at the range, have someone load your magazines for you and place random snap caps among live rounds to practice expelling a bad round and racking a new one.We all know any rim-fire guns should never be dry fired, and sadly I see poor reviews for the Tipton 22lr snap caps, but most center fire guns can dry fire without harm, but in the same thought, why risk the chance of slamming your firing pin against nothing when you can fire it with these beauties?There is no mistaking them for live rounds, they are brilliantly made. I can see a box will last a very long time. I have seen on Youtube people with concerns whether a well used snap cap will indent deep enough in the brass that it will be useless as a way to have your firing pin hit against it - but in reply I saw a Youtuber showing how the indent in the primer area was not all that happened, the spring also gave way to the force of the firing pin, so the indent PLUS the inward motion of the primer spring absorbed the force of the firing pin, thus only leaving a given dent into the snap cap primer area - better put, even after a thousand dry fires, the divot in the snap cap primer still contacted the firing pin as the snap cap spring absorbed the additional force of the firing pin.So whether it is to see if your firing pin is centered, or practice all your steps at handling your firearm, I believe these will do the job BETTER than any other snap cap you can buy.Great product, fast service and awesome price - can't ask for anything better.

They work just fine. I had to sand down the back end of these a bit, they were dragging on the frame. After that, no problems at all and work as advertised.

Fait le boulot, rentre correctement dans la chambre et protège le percuteur.

Si rompono in poco tempo.

Like - Great build quality considering they are not fully metal and mostly plastic. I was worried that by practicing manually loading in a magazine would dent it but it has not so far. I've read centre-fired dry firing isn't a real issue but good to practice that too nonetheless.Dislike - Price is a little steep for 5 pieces of mostly plastic caps. Would still keep as seems to be better built than others.
