I have a question, why are you dry firing your gun so much that you need these caps or what ever their called? Not trying to sound like a troll im actually curious lol
When i leave the range i put my firearms away with the action locked open. Safty for me and for everyone around me.
Ive heard of people putting rifles and stuff in gun socks and different things loaded and when transporting them or removing them from the case they go off injuring yourself or some one else.
Once im home i put a snap cap in point the muzzle in a safe direction and drop the hammer.
I also use snap caps for testing, ive had a few guns with issues. I dont like to make it a habbit of cycling ANY live ammo threw my firearms period. This way i can and not worry about puting holes in my floor
Ive had 2 guns with issues where they would fail to fire. One had an issues with the barrel nut being to tight (light strikes on the rim). That took me months to figure out. Then i had one that had problems with the firing pin not firing in the right place. That one had to go back to the factory.
I find them a good tool to have.
Ive also thought about keeping a few in my pocket. If i go to a gun shop, gun show or a pawnshop and find a use .22 i like. First thing im going to do is make sure it doesnt have a damaged firing pin and that it puts a nice dent in a snap cap before i buy it.
Ive seen some that it looked like some one sat down to watch tv and just dry fired over and over and it just trashed the chamber face and destroyed the firing pin.
Just my opinion though, you can do it how you want.
