The Dryfire Question

[45doubletap]

Excellent decision IMO. Cheap insurance on a valuable revolver. Just triple check that the snap caps are indeed in the cylinders and don't shoot the TV like my good LT. friend did while watching "Friends" with the family in his living room. I always triple check my weapons and made a homemade Clearing Station made out of a garbage can and sand.

Happy shooting!

Well if "friends" was on my TV I may use a 12gauge slug!

OK, friends, here's a question for you to consider. I wanted to dryfire my home defense guns when I first bought them to practice my trigger control and etc. So I bought a dozen snap caps by Tipton. These have a spring down the middle which absorbs the shock of the firing pin(maybe they're all that way -I don't know) and a "primer" which appears to be brass. After maybe half a dozen strikes every one of those "primers" were dented so deeply as to render the cap useless. They were a complete waste of money. Can anyone recommend some that last?

A-Zooms work well.

A-Zooms work well.

Ditto. The A-Zooms last much longer than the plastic body/brass "primer" type.
