I have a new to me 14-3 and I have 38sp snap caps. I have not used the caps all that much but as you can see from the photo there is a hole in the center of the fake primer from dry firing. I think these were Zoom but I also have another brand with springs and they too have the hole after being used.
Does that hole make the caps unsafe to use with my 14-3. This is my first revolver with a hammer mounted firing pin, all my others have had frame mounted pins or transfer bars so I am not sure if this is normal. Seems to me if the snap caps are not safe they would be pretty useless since it only takes a few uses for this hole to develop.
