The Carlsons .45 Long Colt Aluminum Snap Caps (brand part no. 00049) let revolver and rifle owners dry-fire train and safely release the firing pin without firing a live round. Carlsons machines these dummy rounds from aluminum to true .45 Long Colt dimensions, so they load and extract just like the real cartridge. They’re an excellent training tool for eliminating flinch and building smooth trigger technique, and the 6-pack means you can load a full cylinder or magazine for a realistic practice run. Anyone who shoots a .45 Long Colt platform should keep a set on hand for both training and post-cleaning function checks.

Key Specifications

• The set ships as a 6-pack, enough to fill a full cylinder or magazine for realistic training drills.
• They’re finished in red for quick visual identification against live rounds.
