A must for practice drills, December 5, 2010

These are great for dry practice drills, practicing malfunctions, and reloading, I prefer these to the other snap caps that look like a regular cartridge but have an orange bullet. These look less like a real live cartridge so I think they are a little bit safer in that it is harder to confuse them with the real thing.

I highly recommend these for anyone who wants to do lots of dry practice. These are great to insert into a magazine with live rounds when you are practicing. It quickly shows you if you are flinching and it allows you to practice malfunctions.

A+

Failure to Feed Issues, August 23, 2011

This product is expensive and for how much you are paying I would expect better performance. First of all the shells are super lightweight (hollow). Much lighter weight than a standard 230 grain .45 ACP round. From a training/ realism perspective this was a little off-putting for me. When training I have experience repeated issues where the bullet doesn’t fully feed into the chamber rendering the trigger on my sig p220 useless. Upon further inspection it looks like the snap cap is not feeding all the way in, which causes the trigger to become limp as if the trigger bar spring has broken (which was highly concerning upon my first encounter with this malfunction). Other than those two issues the product seems to be of high build quality and they fit in the stock sig magazines very well and they have a sturdy aluminum feel to them. I would expect better performance for the price though.
