Overview
Designed for dry fire practice, safety training, and function testing, this snap cap is intended for use in striker-fired pistols where standard snap caps can be ejected when the slide is cycled. Its rimless design and centering o-ring help it stay seated in the chamber, making repeated practice sessions quicker and less disruptive. It still serves the same basic role as a snap cap by absorbing the firing pin strike during dry fire. For hunters and shooters who train with striker-fired handguns, it offers a practical way to practice without constant reset between cycles.

Specifications
| Long Description | Our extremely popular A-Zoom Snap Caps are the best choice for safety training, function testing and dry firing practice. Their rugged design has proven to withstand thousands of dry fires while still protecting the firing pin. One drawback with dry firing snap caps however is when they are used in striker fire type pistols. These firearms require that the slide be drawn back to cock the pistol, which then extracts and ejects the snap cap from the pistol. Our new StrikerCaps solve this problem. StrikerCaps are made without a rim and are equipped with a centering o-ring which grips the chamber walls and keeps the snap cap in place in the chamber. Once it is chambered, simply rack the slide to cock the pistol. StrikerCaps will absorb the firing pin hit just like standard A-Zooms, however will stay in place for quicker, easier dry fire practice. |
