I've read that you need those if you want to dry-fire a revolver that has a hammer-mounted firing pin without danage to the gun. They are also supposed to be suitable for safe reload practice. I'm not sure how suitable they are for this purpose. Loading snap caps from a speedloader seems different, and easier, compared to reloading live rounds.

So I grew up with a family shooting wheelguns all the time. From Cowboy guys to chief specials and later on I shot big game revolvers. Dry fired them constantly and no one said boo years ago. Never saw any harm. Anyway...fast forward to now when there is literally a product for every application under the sun...and the gun crowd crying how you gotta get some snap caps... these are great - work well - simple and say they last forever with an "unlimited amount of dry fires" I'm breaking in a new SW 442 no lock and I use these every morning to start breaking in the trigger, usually 50-100 times a day...sometimes more. I'm happy with them.

Always better to use snap caps vs. dry firing your firearm. A must for "dry fire" training. First broken firing pin will cost you a lot more than these!

Exactly as advertised, protects your firing pin while practicing your trigger squeeze (dry firing). They replace the primer with a rubber pad and importantly are a deep red color to prevent getting them mixed up with live rounds.

Good for practice loading and roulette games with a revolver at the range. Sharpens my zen thing and helps me to relax my grip when I'm not sure if there will be a bang or not.
