Carlsons Snap Cap 38 Special/357 Magnum 6-Pk Aluminum Dummy Rounds

The Carlsons Snap Cap is a purpose-built dummy round designed for safe dry-fire practice, trigger-control training, and action work in revolvers chambered for .38 Special and .357 Magnum. Each cartridge is machined from durable aluminum to true SAAMI dimensions, with a primer pocket of the correct hardness so your revolver's firing pin or striker lands on a soft cushion rather than live primers or hard anvil metal.

Snap caps are an essential training tool for any revolver shooter. They let you safely release the mainspring tension through the full range of motion, rack the cylinder and action repeatedly, and practice the trigger pull without damaging the firing pin or live primers. Used regularly, they are also one of the most effective ways to eliminate the flinch by giving the shooter the audible and tactile feedback of a dry shot. The red aluminum body stands out on the bench and in the cylinder so a snap cap is never mistaken for live ammunition.

This 6-pack loads a full six-shot revolver with training caps so every chamber is filled with the same inert tool. Use them for dry-fire drills, hammer decocking practice, and storing the revolver with the mainspring at rest between range sessions. Carlson's Choke Tubes designs each snap cap to drop into the cylinder the same way live ammunition does, so the gun fits and functions exactly as it will at the range.
