Carlson’s Aluminum Snap Caps (brand part no. 00101) let a shotgunner dry-fire a 20-gauge shotgun for practice or function testing without striking an empty chamber, which protects the firing pin and breech face from unnecessary wear. Machined from aluminum rather than plastic, these snap caps hold up to repeated cycling far better than disposable dummy rounds.

Key Specifications

• Sized for 20 gauge shotguns specifically.
