What Are Snap Caps?

Snap caps are training cartridges that match the dimensions of live ammunition but contain no primer, powder or projectile. They are commonly used for dry fire practice, loading and unloading drills, and general function testing.

Many models feature a spring-loaded or polymer false primer that cushions the firing pin during repeated dry firing.

Training Cartridges for Dry Fire Practice

Training cartridges allow you to practise many firearm handling procedures without using live ammunition. They are widely used for dry fire practice, firearms instruction and checking the operation of magazines, extractors and ejectors.

Depending on the calibre, they are available for both handguns and long guns.

Dummy Rounds for Function Testing

Dummy rounds are designed to verify the correct operation of a firearm. They are ideal for testing feeding, extraction, ejection and magazine function without the use of live ammunition.

Their bright colours make them easy to distinguish from live cartridges.
