The Carlson's 00106 Snap Caps provide safe dry-fire practice for 20-gauge shotguns without risking firing pin damage. These precision-manufactured training rounds allow shooters to practice trigger control and gun handling skills at home or in training environments where live ammunition cannot be used.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard plastic snap caps that crack after minimal use, Carlson's snap caps feature a durable polymer construction with a spring-loaded primer that absorbs repeated firing pin strikes. The brass-colored base provides realistic weight distribution similar to live shells, while the bright orange body ensures immediate visual identification as training ammunition. These snap caps withstand hundreds of dry-fire cycles without degradation.
