The Tipton 303958 Snap Caps provide safe dry fire practice for 9mm pistols without risking firing pin damage. These training rounds feature durable brass cases with plastic primer inserts that absorb repeated strikes while maintaining proper chambering and extraction.
What Makes This Different
Unlike aluminum snap caps that can dent after minimal use, Tipton's brass construction withstands thousands of firing pin strikes. The precision-machined cases match factory ammunition dimensions exactly, ensuring reliable feeding and ejection in semi-automatic pistols. Spring-loaded plastic primers reset automatically after each strike, eliminating the need for manual primer replacement.

- Exact 9mm Luger chamber dimensions for proper fit

These snap caps excel in competitive shooting training, concealed carry practice, and firearms instruction scenarios. The brass construction maintains consistent performance across temperature extremes, while the realistic weight distribution helps develop proper muscle memory for magazine changes and malfunction drills. Law enforcement agencies rely on similar specifications for academy training programs.
