B's Dry Fire Snap Caps - Dummy 12 Gauge Training Caps (12 Ga Blue 2 ¾”)

Simply fantastic snap caps. I was concerned originally considering the price (having purchased A-zooms in the past) and not wanting to invest in something so disappointing again, boy howdy I was wrong though. After two weeks abusing these the only real sign of wear is from the ejector (and be aware that is just the cost of doing business really) but they still cycle wonderfully. They feel solid, weigh just about right for their size and make an excellent training aid. Coming in packs of 9 you should be able to fully load up and test most shotguns easily even my 590 9-shot was fully filled and run through without having to buy them in sets of 2 (darn you Azoom!). I will be buying their 9 mm snap caps for testing soon as well, its nice to find a product that actually performs as intended.My only complaint is that with the colors available they are very close to commercial cartridge coloring and thus its a touch harder to distinguish them as snap caps compared to real shells without looking at the primer. A citrus or blaze green or orange option would be a great color addition to the line up B-unique if you are reading these.

Very cool "dry fire" shotgun shells. I got these to practice my speed reloading drills for my Mossberg 590. (Awesome shotgun by the way.) I love these things! These are the 2 3/4" dark blue shells. They're "weighted" so they are the same weight as real shells, a rubber primer so it wont ruin your firing pin and made with quality metal for the brass head so you can drop these on the floor with no worries. Never had a problem with jamming or reloading. They fit in my shotgun side saddle like a glove. I also love how you can practice reloading with these and because they are weighted you get a real world feeling of how "heavy" your fully loaded firearmwill be. Very satisfied.

These snap caps are a perfect tool for training both experienced and new users of a shotgun. I bought these to teach my wife how to safely load and operate my shotgun. This provided a safe and very effective way to teach her the basic without the hazard of using live ammunition. I use these myself to practice home defense. Great way to learn and practice loading your shotgun quickly and in the dark! The quality is outstanding and I would highly recommend these. They look and feel so real that I actually store these separately so that there is never mistaking these for ammunition or vise versa.

This is a great way to practice firing without worrying about damaging your shotgun. They’re surprisingly heavy and feel just like a real round. The firing pin winds up striking a piece of plastic/rubber so there’s no danger of damaging it.Great way to get used to cycling through rounds in a safe manner with no risk of damaging your shotgun.

These are pretty good dummy shells, but after several cycles through the shotgun, the lip of the brass section becomes deformed from being loaded and ejected. This is the same thing that happens to a regular shotgun shell, but of course you only use a real shotgun shell once. Eventually, the damage to the lip of these dummy shells makes them cycle a little erratically and eject improperly. Still a good product overall, but would be nice to see a more durable lip so they'd last longer. The rubber 'primer' is a nice touch.

I got these due to my shotgun needs brass hulls to run smooth when practicing. These lasted me about 1 hour of practice (1 day). My shotgun extractor destroyed these brass hulls making them chewed up and not usable. The shotgun shells out of the box, i was impressed and ran through my shotgun flawlessly.... but only lasted 1 hour before realizing i just wasted my money on them.

For all the effort put in to make these feel like real shells, weight, cases, these are 1/8" shorter than actual 2 3/4" shells. That is a gross oversight on the part of the manufacturer.
