Tipton Shotgun Snap Caps with False Primer, Reusable Construction, in Various Calibers for Dry-Firing, Practice and Safe Firearm Storage

Does what it says on the box.Only thing I can say about it so far is that I got this for a Mossberg 88 that is chambered for 2 3/4 and 3" shells, and this is shorter than either by a noticeable amount. It's not even a negative per-se, it chambers just fine, just something to be aware of if you are expecting a 1:1 representation of a shell that size. It comes in a 2 pack so I put the second one in the tube to cycle it and see what happens. I would not recommend doing so since the rim is plastic and gets a bit chewed up when you force it into the tube. It didn't break, but it clearly wears quickly if you do that. I'm pretty sure they aren't even designed for that, but curiosity got the best of me.Just drop it straight in the chamber, close the action, (point in a safe direction), and pull the trigger. Simple.

These snap caps are specifically designed, as stated in the manufacturer's specs to be used only in BREAK OPEN shotguns, typically for the purpose of safely dropping the hammers for storage or dry firing with them. They are NOT designed nor intended as dummy ammo for the purpose of cycling autoloaders or pump shotguns. This is what is printed in the Amazon description: (quote)DESIGN: With a false primer that is spring buffered, Tipton Snap Caps reduce stress on the firing pin and barrel breech when dry firing. For use with break open shotguns, not semi-autos or pumps.I am a certified Remington Armorer. Cycling repeaters do not require snap caps for dry cycling or dry firing. Factory personnel and armorers use conspicuously marked DUMMY ammo that can be hand loaded without powder (use Cream of Wheat or sawdust instead of the powder) and spent primers. Blacken the brass heads with Birchwood Casey brass black, and label the hulls on two sides DUMMY with a Sharpie. Or, buy five dummy shells.Do not be a dummy and fail to read the manufacturer's statement regarding their intended application.

I bought these for dry-fire and manipulation for a single shot break action .410.The ejector could not catch the rim but actually chipped it and then the snap cap got stuck in the chamber. Neither would eject or even extract. Both chipp3d and got stuck.I am not sure how this is supposed to work and the rim is tiny and the overall length is about 3/5 of an actual shell. Had to pull them out with a screwdriver.Complete waste of time. I tried to go cheap since I only needed 2 to practice manipulation, but will not do that again.I was able to get a refund, but not worth the waste of time.I'm just glad I didn't need to use a ram rod to get them out.

It arrived on time, as described by Amazon & manufacturer, the packaging was undamaged, and the product itself was unmolested and made with quality materials. I own 2 now, and just purchased 4 more so that I can practice with a full magazine. Tipton, great products, I have other practice rounds for my different shooting platforms and they all bear well under various training modalities and I have yet to have one break. Now, the extractor lip does wear down and is the only vulnerability that I have noticed, but this was after years of use. Otherwise, a great training device with new users, your children, and when you want to keep your foundational skills up. This is for a revolver, so I load the snap caps into a strip magazine and practice loading my revolver that way too...simulating cover and reloading etc. Great tool.

We're works better in pump action or tube style Shotguns than a break action shotgun

Purchased for use with a SxS with extractors. Works well and I feel the brass primer plug with spring are more appropriate that snap caps with a rubber bumper.

I like the concept of a spring loaded "primer." I feel it saves angst on the firing pin. BUT after a period of time, the plastic rim breaks down and the rim can get in front of the extractor. This is not good! The shell won't come out and the action will not close. The extractor could be broken if one were to force the action closed. Don't ask me how I know this--it pains me to recall. If only we could have a springy "primer" and a metal rim at the same time, I could feel much, much better.

double bbl./ Citori 725/ 12 gauge /perfect firing pin protection. for testing draw/trigger/ aiming practice.

I bought these with low hopes.. amazon states theyre not for pump, Tipton themselves say different, ive functioned these through probably 50 times, no issues!!Best version of 12g snapcaps is right here.. dont hesistateI use a magfed pump, still works flawlessy.

Esta muy bien pero si fuera un poquito más largo sería mejor para guardarlo cuando valla se caza

Ces munitions bloquent dans la plupart des calibre 12, le plastique est de faible qualité et s'use vite. Bref c'est juste une bonne façon d'abimer vos armes et de dépenser inutilement votre argent !

Excelente producto

Funcionan perfectamente, encajan a la perfección. Muy contento
