The Traditions ASM9 snap caps provide safe dry-fire training and function testing for 9mm handguns without risk of firing pin damage. These precision-molded training rounds feature durable polymer construction with authentic brass bases that replicate live ammunition dimensions exactly.
What Makes This Different
Unlike basic aluminum snap caps that can dent or deform after repeated strikes, the ASM9 features a spring-loaded primer pocket that absorbs firing pin impact while maintaining consistent reset. The polymer body withstands thousands of cycling operations without cracking, while the brass base provides realistic weight distribution matching live 9mm ammunition. This combination delivers authentic training experience that cheap plastic alternatives cannot match.
