Frequently Asked Questions

Why not just dry-fire without a snap cap? On many firearms, repeatedly dropping the firing pin on an empty chamber can peen or damage it over time — a snap cap cushions that strike.

Can these be used for long-term storage? Yes, chambering a snap cap lets you release hammer spring tension safely before putting a firearm away.
