By Danny B on April 23, 2011
I bought 5 packs of these so I could practice and teach others to load my Mossberg 590.

Every single one of the shell rims has chipped when it hits against the shell detente at the end of the magazine tube, resulting in a double feed and a damaged snap cap. Perhaps it is the spring strength in my 8 round tube that causes them to bash into the detente a little harder than on most other guns, but in any case they're breaking and double feeding. Definitely NOT GOOD! They're not unusable, but I'm afraid the whole rim might chip off completely eventually and render them useless. At least I'm getting good practice clearing jams...

On the positive side, the anodizing of the caps is tough, and the weight of each cap closely mimics a typical shotshell. The soft primer does its job protecting your firing pin, and they're made of metal, but whatever it is it's very brittle!

So here I have a video of how the snap caps work:

They are great for dry firing as they do not damage the firing pin when being dry fired. That being said, here is an example of what happens to them if they are cycled through a pump action 12 gauge. I fully loaded my Extended mag. Remington 870 express with snap caps (7). I bought a pack of 10 snap caps a week ago. I have used 7 them a total of 6 times each. The other 3 I left unused until today.

After the shells are cycled through, I hold up one of the snap caps to show how bad the wear/flaking of these caps are after ONLY 6 CYCLES!!! The second shell I hold up is an example of a shell that has been cycled through for the first time in this video. It already shows some serious wear and tear and flakes immediately. Please reconsider before purchasing this product.

I hope this information is useful to you. Please message me if you have any questions or experience anything different.

ALSO: Not shown in this video but they have a terrible tendency to jam or not eject properly when unloaded because they are the weight of a loaded shell, Loaded shells usually do not eject too often so the action on these snap caps is a bit troublesome. IF YOU DO CHOOSE TO PURCHASE THESE SNAP CAPS MAKE SURE YOU CLEAN YOUR GUN AFTER! THEY WILL DAMAGE THE ACTION WITH THE FLAKES THEY LEAVE!!!!!

I opted to give these a try even having seen a few negative reviews. Here are my results...

I gave about a 100 cycle test (about 50 per shell) before posting this.

Pros: I do enjoy the fact that they will prevent damage to the firing pin and how they help you get the feel of firing and ejecting. So far they function very well and I have not had any issues with failure to feed or eject. Mostly solid and durable.

Cons: They do seem to "ding" pretty easy around the edges. I have seen reports of flaky paint but mine have had no such issue, only dings. I will add a picture as well.

Overall I am pleased but would have liked to see the rims stronger and either be unpainted or sealed in some way. This would have solved any issues with these at all IMO.

I'm a new shotgun owner. Have a Mossberg 590a1 and wanted to get some practice loading and working the safety on the gun (obviously without blowing holes into my walls and killing neighbors). I bought 2 packages of these (2 in each package) and have cycled them multiple times and honestly, they work fine. Minimal scratching of the dud shell itself, but nothing significant like others have mentioned in other reviews. They did slightly scratch immediately, but no noticeable chipping or flaking. Haven't had any issues yet with them getting stuck, nor any ejection issues. Good heft, and are very similar to an actual shell. I honestly wish they'd pick some sort of different color, say, a safety orange, so that it's more easily distinguishable from an actual shell. It's definitely different enough, but, for ultimate safety, i think they should have gone with a more distinct color. There are no indentations on the top of the shell, as you'd have with a normal shell, so, even by feel you can tell it's not a live round. Great product and it really helps get you more comfortable (especially for a noob like me) with handling the gun.

im glad i waited a while before reviewing this product. at first it seemed great. first impression: these are a solid and seems to be well build snap caps. i used them for about 3 weeks to cycle through my mossberg 590a1 for basic fire drills with no problems. my impression after 1 month: they now have scratches all over them including the base of the rim. chips of the red paint have falled off and got lodged around the bolt/receiver area (which had to be blown out with compressed air). on top of that, they also started to stick in the magazine and wont even cycle through properly. they are now going in the trash, as i refuse to use a product that could potentially damage my shotgun. save your money.

These slugs have the same heft to them as live rounds do, which is good. They function & cycle through my Rem 870 really well. There's a nice, hard plastic "primer" to cushion your hammer for repeated dry fires. The one thing I don't like about these snap caps is that they are made entirely of very hard anodized metal which will scratch at your bluing. I wish they were made entirely out of PTFE, or some other hard plastic. Over all, they do a good job at what they do, and they will last you a lifetime, I'm sure :-)
