The Carlson’s 12 Gauge Snap Cap (2-Pack) (part no. 00099) is a 12 Gauge dry-fire training snap cap from Carlsons, not a live round. Molded from durable plastic, it is inert and contains no propellant or primer, so it cannot be fired. A spring-loaded striking area inside each snap cap cushions and protects the firing pin on every dry-fire pull, rather than letting it fall on an empty chamber. Among gun accessories, this snap cap is built for shooters who want to dry-fire safely, teach new shooters trigger control, or store a firearm with a cushioned chamber instead of an empty one.
