Building a revolver is messy business. There is a lot of brute force involved. In all of the revolver armorer courses I attended at Smith, not once did we use a snap cap or were we ever told that we needed to. In fact, just the opposite was the case. Having said that, if you like snap caps, go for it. (I also let my 1911 slides drop on an empty chamber.)
