Steel Safety Practice Rounds Action Trainer Dummy Round Dry Fire Training Snap Cap

This is one of those occasional purchases that has made me really happy.The snap caps are great, but what truly amazed me was the customer service. In every way, this was a great purchase.The product is excellent. These dummy rounds [snap caps] are made of steel: I checked with a magnet. They are dimensionally correct. I have never before seen snap caps like these, with their replaceable rubber head pads. It seems like an excellent design, which should provide great protection for the vulnerable firing pins of rimfire firearms. The rubber pads are replaceable, so the snap caps should last forever; and, if they don’t, you can get more pads. I have always used A-Zooms. Those are great, but you cannot replace the little pad in the center of the “cartridge” head. With the Bayattoo snap caps, you can. You can also rotate them, so that the firing pin keeps striking different sections of the pads.There was one small problem: The product information states that the box “provides additional 10pcs spare pads.” Well, my package did not include the spare pads. The box did, however, include a card which stated: “If you unfortunately receive any items that couldn’t meet your expectation, please kindly give us an opportunity to correct the issue. We will do our best to resolve the issue till you are satisfied.” Well, their “best” is truly outstanding. I emailed them at 7:26 pm on a Sunday. I got a response at 7:59 pm. THIRTY-THREE MINUTES LATER. Their representative was as charming as is the English of the guarantee. The rep gave her name as Candy…I am mentioning her name because I want her boss to notice, and promote her…and she wrote that she had already submitted an order. In the Amazon product information, they promised ten spare pads. Candy sent me FORTY.We had further correspondence, because she wanted to provide me with the tracking number and to keep me updated. In all of her correspondence, she was the perfect customer service rep: knowledgeable, wishing to provide excellent service, and doing everything perfectly.I received the spare pads within four days of requesting them. Technically, three days, since I wrote on a Sunday evening, although that was probably a Monday morning for Candy. Anyhow, the whole thing was a pleasure. And, I think it’s unlikely that you will find the spare pads to be missing. Candy wrote “I appreciate that you contacted us to give us the opportunity to correct the issue you met.” That seems to be the attitude of this company, treating my little complaint as an opportunity to improve.They do continually suggest that you write a review. Hey, I don’t mind. I am very much motivated to write this.I am impressed. If you order these dummy rounds/snap caps, I think that you will be, too.

Work as advertised. Great quality item and good value for the money

These are not only the correct size and shape, but since they're approximately the same weight as a live .22 LR round, they can be used for function / cycle testing in semi-auto firearms. I have other plastic and alloy .22 LR dummies that, while useful as snap caps (for dry firing), are too light and don't cycle properly. Not a problem with these. I also have 380 ACP, 9mm and 45 ACP dummy rounds of the same brand and they're equally good.

Very high quality though don't mix your live rounds to these snap caps they look the same but they have this hole in the middle which you can identify snap caps and live rounds . Good weights to practice dry firing.

Good to have for practice

These are fantastic, very durable, they cycle well through my 10mm pistol. Using them to break in the action and the magazines. I used to go a more expensive option online from a guy that makes realistic snap caps out of real bullets, which are also great, but this is a cheaper option and works just as well. Very happy with purchase!

They work fine. Just ordered a couple of more calibers.

Okay, I will give this 4 stars because only something very exceptional gets 5 stars.At first test I didn't like these. They do measure out nearly identical to real ammo. I was first disappointed because I could not get a full stack to feed. Once 2 were removed from mag they work. Well it turned out that the HPs would not feed either. I am new to this sport and or EDC. I have a brand new unit and decided to just mess around with these.I have now ran these through 160 times and can now do a full stack. Not perfect on the first one but getting there. I figure I am breaking in the feed ramp and mag without shooting. Now the good thing on these are they are steel and have a blunt nose. So what's good about that? Verses the plastic pointed tips these actually mimic Hollow Point shape and using them will polish the ramp. Unlike the plastic tipped ones that can not do that. Being blunt instead of pointed it let's you see how Hollows may or may not feed.I figure after I run these through 500 times the Hollows will feed fine. You can't run 500 hollows through without costing a couple hundred bucks or more.So yes true hollows will need to be ran but for break in I really like these. Not using for trigger practice yet.Now the weird. You get a package of 12 but only 10 replacement rubber primers. What's up with that oddity. I mean that's just weird.Edit. I contacted customer support and they explained why the extra primers came in 10s. They responded quick and took care of me. Didn't ask me to go give them 5 stars. Didn't ask anything until days later then just if I would review.So since they were polite and had customer service and fast which is hard to find these says, that alone bumped this product from 4 to 5 stars. Any questions contact them. You won't be disappointed.Edit 2. I now tested these in mine and other firearms. I want to let you know if you have a firearm that uses the fireing pin as part of the extraction method do not use these or any other brand that has the rubber inserts.They will be punctured all the way through and can catch on the fireing pin possibly damaging it during extraction. This is not the fault of this product, I still use and like them and will keep using them.If you have one of those rare or let's say budget firearms that use the fire pin to extract, please get caps with spring loaded primer area for best performance.
