The Traditions ASG12 snap caps provide safe dry-fire training and function testing for 12-gauge shotguns without damaging firing pins or chambers. These precision-molded training aids allow shooters to practice trigger control and cycling drills at home.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard plastic snap caps that crack after limited use, the ASG12 features a reinforced brass base that withstands repeated firing pin strikes. The durable polymer construction maintains proper chamber dimensions while the brass insert absorbs impact energy. Each snap cap cycles smoothly through semi-automatic and pump-action shotguns without jamming.
Key Features
- Brass base insert protects firing pin from damage during dry-fire practice
- High-impact polymer shell maintains 12-gauge chamber specifications
- Realistic weight and dimensions for proper cycling action
- Compatible with all 12-gauge shotgun platforms and actions
- Bright orange color prevents accidental loading with live ammunition
- Smooth extraction prevents stuck cases in chamber
- Two-pack provides backup for extended training sessions
These snap caps excel in competitive shotgun sports training where consistent trigger pull and smooth cycling matter. Law enforcement and military personnel use them for weapon familiarization without range time requirements. Hunters benefit from off-season practice sessions that maintain muscle memory and shooting fundamentals. The brass base construction handles thousands of dry-fire cycles without cracking or deforming.
