The Tipton 337377 Snap Caps provide safe dry fire training for .380 ACP pistols without damaging firing pins or internal mechanisms. These precision-manufactured training rounds eliminate the metallic click of dry firing on an empty chamber while protecting valuable firearm components.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard snap caps that rely solely on plastic construction, these feature a brass case with a durable plastic primer insert for extended service life. The brass construction ensures proper feeding and extraction cycles identical to live ammunition. Each snap cap withstands hundreds of firing pin strikes while maintaining dimensional accuracy for consistent chambering.
Key Features
- Brass case construction matches live .380 ACP ammunition dimensions
- Durable plastic primer insert absorbs firing pin impact safely
- Bright orange plastic tip for instant visual identification
- Precision-manufactured to SAAMI specifications for reliable function
- Reusable design rated for 300+ dry fire cycles

These snap caps excel in training environments where repetitive dry fire practice builds muscle memory and trigger control. Law enforcement academies use similar training rounds for malfunction drills and tactical reloads. The brass construction cycles through semi-automatic actions smoothly, making them ideal for practicing immediate action drills. Competition shooters rely on snap caps for trigger control development without ammunition costs.
