Traditions ASA45 Snap Caps .45 ACP Plastic Brass Base 6-Pack

The Traditions ASA45 snap caps provide safe dry-fire training and function testing for .45 ACP handguns without risking firing pin damage. These training aids feature durable plastic construction with brass-colored bases that closely mimic live ammunition dimensions and weight distribution.

What Makes This Different

Unlike basic aluminum snap caps that can dent or deform after repeated strikes, these plastic snap caps incorporate a spring-loaded primer area that absorbs firing pin impact. The brass-colored metal base provides realistic weight and feeding characteristics while the polymer body resists cracking under repeated use. Each snap cap maintains consistent dimensions that match SAAMI specifications for .45 ACP ammunition.

Key Features

• Spring-loaded primer area absorbs firing pin strikes without damage
• Brass-colored metal base provides authentic weight and balance
• Polymer construction resists cracking and deformation
• SAAMI-spec dimensions ensure proper chamber fit and extraction
• Bright orange polymer body prevents confusion with live rounds
• Reusable design withstands hundreds of dry-fire cycles
• Six-pack quantity supports magazine capacity training

These snap caps excel in competitive shooting preparation, allowing unlimited trigger control practice without ammunition costs. Law enforcement and military personnel use them for weapons familiarization and malfunction clearing drills. The realistic feeding characteristics make them valuable for testing magazine springs and feed ramp geometry. Home defense practitioners benefit from safe manipulation training in actual carry firearms.
