Drywall anchor size for .22lr snap caps?

[Targets Guy]

I still haven't found them. I may have to order some more.

Well, I'll be dipped. Never heard of such a thing.

Clever Americans....

In this day of ammo shortages I wanted to resurrect this thread (with thanks and a tip of the hat to Dale53 who dug it out for me.) I went by my neighborhood Ace Hardware today and they have boxes of 100 anchors, packages with anchors and screws, and in the bins they let you buy individual pieces for $.11 each. You need the yellow ones labeled #4-6 X 7/8. I used them in a couple of High Standards I needed to test today, but I’ll also be putting them in my K22 as well. And yes, they did feed through the Mag into the HS! I’m ready to dry fire my 22s!

PS Being bright yellow provides your snap caps another level of safety for you dry firing. Less chance of an AD.

I use empty 22's, heck, they're free at the range, and it's fun making them empty. I rotate them after a few hits. This is in a 617. Good luck!

I like them for that reason too.

Now, do they make dry wall anchors in .38/.357, 40 and 9mm in any color?

It wouldn’t help us if they did. By their designed purpose, drywall anchors must have a hole in the middle, right where the firing pin needs to have a cushion. Your firing pin would “see” a drywall anchor in the chamber as being an empty chamber.

Nice thought though.
