Tipton Snap Caps, .38 Special/.357 Magnum, 6-Pack

Tipton Snap Caps for .38 Special and .357 Magnum (part no. 321398) give revolver owners a safe way to dry fire, check trigger pull, and store a handgun with the hammer down, sold by Tipton. Dropping a firing pin on a truly empty chamber over and over can peen or crack the pin over time, and these snap caps fill that chamber with a dummy round so the firing pin strikes a cushioned surface instead of bare metal. They are sized for both .38 Special and .357 Magnum revolvers, so one set covers either chambering.
