Carlsons Snap Cap 12 Gauge Aluminum 2-Pack

The Carlsons Snap Cap in 12 Gauge is a precision-machined aluminum dummy round that lets shotgun owners practice dry-firing without damaging critical components. Built to SAAMI dimensional specifications for the individual gauge, the aluminum body chambers cleanly without stressing the chamber, extractor or ejector and provides a reusable platform for repetitive dry-fire drills.

Each snap cap features a spring-loaded primer plunger that absorbs the firing-pin strike, distributing the impact across the plunger rather than the tip of the firing pin to prevent peening, chipping or breakage during dry-firing exercises. The red anodized finish makes these inert training rounds instantly recognizable on the bench or in a storage tray, so they are never confused with live ammunition. The tough aluminum construction will not damage the chamber, extractor or ejector during repeated use.

Functioning through the action just like a live 12 gauge shell, these snap caps allow realistic trigger control practice and function checks on any standard 12 gauge shotgun. Sold as a 2-pack, the Carlsons 12 Gauge aluminum snap caps are an inexpensive way to preserve firing-pin life during routine dry-fire practice, action testing and safe firearm storage.
