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.

Great product, no delivery issues, was packed in a protective case. Value compared to retail stores was better. I’d buy again if needed.

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.

Got these to test operate my ts12 Tavor, and they simply don't work with this gun. I think the plastic around the base is to thick or to wide and the caps aren't a full 2 3\4 length. I had extreme difficulty feeding into the barrel and even got jammed in the feed tube and fed wrong causing it to jam in the feed ramp. I had to strip the gun to remove it. Tried again and it got stuck into the feed tube a half an inch or so, I had to pry it out with a screwdriver. Not sure how they work with different brands, but DON'T USE WITH THE IWI TS12 TAVOR.

Works as described.

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.

Continued 4.0 Item

Gets stuck in 20ga 1100 mag tube and will not feed. Good for storing over and under not good for function testing semi auto.

Nice snap caps works great in my over under 12G so I don't have to drop my firing pins on a empty cylinder no complaints what so ever
