Steel Safety Practice Rounds Action Trainer Dummy Round Dry Fire Training Snap Cap

Okay, I will give this 4 stars because only something very exceptional gets 5 stars.At first test I didn't like these. They do measure out nearly identical to real ammo. I was first disappointed because I could not get a full stack to feed. Once 2 were removed from mag they work. Well it turned out that the HPs would not feed either. I am new to this sport and or EDC. I have a brand new unit and decided to just mess around with these.I have now ran these through 160 times and can now do a full stack. Not perfect on the first one but getting there. I figure I am breaking in the feed ramp and mag without shooting. Now the good thing on these are they are steel and have a blunt nose. So what's good about that? Verses the plastic pointed tips these actually mimic Hollow Point shape and using them will polish the ramp. Unlike the plastic tipped ones that can not do that. Being blunt instead of pointed it let's you see how Hollows may or may not feed.I figure after I run these through 500 times the Hollows will feed fine. You can't run 500 hollows through without costing a couple hundred bucks or more.So yes true hollows will need to be ran but for break in I really like these. Not using for trigger practice yet.Now the weird. You get a package of 12 but only 10 replacement rubber primers. What's up with that oddity. I mean that's just weird.Edit. I contacted customer support and they explained why the extra primers came in 10s. They responded quick and took care of me. Didn't ask me to go give them 5 stars. Didn't ask anything until days later then just if I would review.So since they were polite and had customer service and fast which is hard to find these says, that alone bumped this product from 4 to 5 stars. Any questions contact them. You won't be disappointed.Edit 2. I now tested these in mine and other firearms. I want to let you know if you have a firearm that uses the fireing pin as part of the extraction method do not use these or any other brand that has the rubber inserts.They will be punctured all the way through and can catch on the fireing pin possibly damaging it during extraction. This is not the fault of this product, I still use and like them and will keep using them.If you have one of those rare or let's say budget firearms that use the fire pin to extract, please get caps with spring loaded primer area for best performance.

The initial purchase only had 7 of the 12 rounds. It was returned and replaced extremely fast. (Within 2 days). The new package had the correct number of rounds. These work extremely well when dry firing or function checking your firearms. I have purchased several versions in different calibers and always use them to check weapons. A must buy for firearms enthusiasts.

These practice rounds were invaluable in learning how to load the magazine. I also leave these rounds in the magazine to help loosen the very tight spring on the Bodyguard 2.0. Since their weight approximates the weight of a real round I can practice carrying a full magazine of practice rounds in the pistol to acclimate myself to the weight of a loaded gun. It appears to me that these steel rounds will last a long time as opposed to plastic rounds. So far so good.

Very high quality though don't mix your live rounds to these snap caps they look the same but they have this hole in the middle which you can identify snap caps and live rounds . Good weights to practice dry firing.

Good product but damaged on arrival in carrying case

These are not only the correct size and shape, but since they're approximately the same weight as a live .22 LR round, they can be used for function / cycle testing in semi-auto firearms. I have other plastic and alloy .22 LR dummies that, while useful as snap caps (for dry firing), are too light and don't cycle properly. Not a problem with these. I also have 380 ACP, 9mm and 45 ACP dummy rounds of the same brand and they're equally good.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Very happy with these. Can't think of anything else to say. They're durable. Come with replacement rubber bits. They're coloring is impossible to mistake for a live round. Came in a nice little padded case.

Item is high quality. Love it! Fits my rifle and pistol like the real thing
