Azoom .45 ACP Caliber Snap Cap,Red

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!

Nice for trainees

A quality item, well made, works well. Helpful in maintaining your shooting ability.

These are a Pachmeyer product, look no further these are it!

These snap caps are well fit for the caliber and function fine. I personally prefer the plastic type with the spring and brass base plate, as they seem to last longer and not flake or bend as much. Since these are aluminum, they tend to get damaged a bit after use. Make sure there is NO live rounds near you (or even in the same room) when practicing at home. These work for well for dry fire practice, though most modern arms don't need them since the firing pin can handle dry fire, it still is good insurance to use these, especially with a 1911 or older arms. Where these snap caps really shine is at the range for malfunction and reduction of flinching. Have someone randomly place 1 or 2 into your magazine with other live rounds (at the range, NOT at home) and this is useful for malfunction tap/rack drills and also will show you if you are predicting the recoil and flinching. All in all, a good investment for practice, they are a bit expensive for what you get, but in the end worth it.

Well made. Fits well. Would purchase again.

Did what it should do.

Just got it but already love it. It is probably old school but dry firing on an empty chamber is just not something I'm comfortable with. That being said, I generally dry fire a new gun extensively and check it's functionality prior to actually sticking a live round into it. My friends used to tease me about "playing cowboys and indians" but three things stopped that; 1. Twice I have caught defects in the weapon I was testing out that, while minor, should not have been there. A little back and forth on the phone and the problems were resolved. Here is a plug for European American Armory... Fantastic product support. 2. By extensively handling the gun and dry firing I get a really good feel for the gun, it's action, and the controls on the gun. That generally results in MUCH better results at the range and during matches. 3. Dry firing and drills, properly done, "works the weapon in". Every piece of machinery I have ever used required an initial "break in" period while all the parts worked themselves into alignment. You will generally need to fire live ammo to complete the "break in" but the amount of ammo that it will take to get the gun into it's final "ready-to-roll" state is dramatically less (and much less expensive) than doing it completely through the use of live fire. Snaps Caps and similar products REALLY help. You can dry fire the weapon extensively without worrying about damage to the firing pin or action. I would HIGHLY recommend this product to anyone who likes to do dry fire drills. You get a pack of five and they are pretty inexpensive. I normally have enough to fully load out several magazines for every caliber weapon I own. This allows me to do a LOT of dry fire practice and drills without stopping constantly.

Lieferung, Preis und Qualität passen.

It works as expected but took a very long time to be delivered

Exact fit, all is good.

Der Kunststoffkern, der das Zündhütchen darstellt, steht einige Millimeter vor und muss mit dem Stanleymesser abgeschnitten werden.

Excellent
