Lyman A-Zoom 38 Special Revolver Metal Snap Cap, Pack of 6

Work great

I purchased a .357/.38 for the wife when I travel. She doesn't like firearms. Doesn't like the noise or smell or the kick of a handgun. I gave her the new revolver and had her load, unload, load, dry fire and repeat again and again using these snap caps. No risk of an accidental shot due to improper handling by a novice. The accurate size and workmanship of the snap caps made her so comfortable with the process that after a week or two, she began asking me when she could go out and shoot "her" gun. Mission accomplished thanks to a high quality product from A-Zoom. Since she had a laser on her gun, use of the snap caps permitted her to monitor her aim when she pulled the trigger through and develop a smooth technique. So far, these snap caps have seen hundreds of actions in the revolver and in a carbine chambered the same as the handgun. No issues, no failures. Nothing but satisfaction. This product has contributed to the safe development of another citizen able to exercise her 2nd Amendment rights in a confident and competent manner.

They aren’t the weight of normal rounds, also don’t expect them to run in a lever action 357 or anything like that. However I bought these for my Jframe and they are great for practicing reloads and general CCW dry fire training. I always have a strip loader loaded with these in my dresser for practice and if you CC a revolver you should do the same.

Very easy to use.

On time and as described. Great for practice loading quickly. Thanks

Bagel protect the fire and pin on your firearm. They're cheap and they're good insurance

and should relieve some wear on the gun

I mean these do exactly what they’re supposed to I suppose, although I would love to see some comprehensive testing to show that these really prevent breechface cracking or other issues due to repeated dry firing. The “primer cap” is a rubber piece. Does this slow down and restrict the firing pin similar to a real metal primer? Well obviously not, we’re comparing brass? to rubber. They are not going to have the same material properties. The question is whether this difference is enough to cause damage to your pistol after repeated firing. I have seen other brands of dummy rounds with metal, spring loaded dummy primers. Maybe these do a better job of preventing dry fire issues? Or maybe the rubber primers are fine, but I’m not 100% convinced the Snap Cap design for dummy rounds is sufficient to prevent issues in all cases. Then again I’m talking out of my ass a bit. The other aspect I really don’t like is that these dummy rounds are nowhere near the weight of real lead rounds. Next time I buy dummy rounds, I will look for another brand that actually replicates the weight of the rounds. Practice is important, that’s why dummy rounds exist. I think they should be as close to the real thing as possible. Snap Caps are pretty much the same weight as spent casings, so if you don’t mind practicing with your firearm using dummy rounds that feel as light as spent casings, then buy these!

Cumple todas las expectativas, medidas exactas, y buena calidad de los materiales, funcionan perfectamente en .357 magnum, compra totalmente recomendable.

Good snap caps…what more can you want!

Purchased for my level action, great fun to dry fire. Quality is good but not cheap. Would give 5 star if the price is better.
