A-Zoom 357 MAG Snap Cap 6PK, Red, One Size (16119)

Great for training and safe dry firing practice. Worth every penny. Good quality.

Great for practicing your draw or working on your finger strength for double action revolvers. Essential practice aid.

One of my latest purchases involves a Revolver in .357 Mag, got these to use to function test and train. I will also use them for a Lever action in the same caliber. Great product and have used these for many years.

They fit good but the rubber on the back is deformed and doesn't function in a revolver without trimming each round past that they are very nice

To be fair and honest, I will use this same review for all the snap caps I have purchased, nothing changes just because the caliber does. Snap caps are an inexpensive tool to use for training your trigger pull and reaction when pulling the trigger of your pistol. Before you take your pistol to the range, throw a few of these caps in pistol and practice squeezing the trigger so you get the feel of how much force you need and where it breaks when firing. Next, place a nickel or dime on the front of the barrel (on a semi-auto, this won't work on revolvers), close to the front site. Find a target to aim at, squeeze the trigger until the hammer fires, all while trying to keep the coin in place. Many people will flinch while pulling the trigger in anticipation of the of the upcoming shot. This practice will help minimize or eliminate this problem. The best part about this practice is you're not wasting ammo at the range, now when you get there you can feel more confident. These caps are used to protect the firing pin from bottoming out in its bore buy absorbing the impact when the trigger is pulled. You don't have to use them, but if you break a firing pin and have to have a gunsmith install a new one, the price for these caps would have been a real bargain.

It's A-Zoom. They've been around for over 20 years and my go to for snaps. I use several other calibers - .40S&W, .380ACP, 9mm and now the .357mag. All have worked as they should when they should with no issues what so ever. Have owned the .40's for over a decade and they still work like new, so there's that. Prices have gone up since then, so my only real complaint and why only 4 star value. A suggestion to A-Zoom however. Please begin to make 7 and 8 rnd packs for us plus model people. Have to buy multiple packs to fill up the cylinder on my 686+ and then have multiple rnds I dont use. Gladly pay an extra few bucks for an extra round or two to even it up.

There's not a great deal to say about simulated ammunition. They're aluminum fakes of common calibers used for practicing loading, tap-rack-bang drills, safe dry-fire practice, etc. They're especially useful with revolvers which require practice reloading to be able to do so smoothly and quickly. Sure, one can do that with regular ammunition, but ammunition can be affected by oil getting around the primer, bullets seating back into the cartridges, or the openings of hollow-points clogging with lint or deforming inward from use. It's also just plain safer to use fake ammo. A-ZOOM snap caps work in every way they're made to. I have had a past experience with the 12-gauge variant's rims being gouged and scored by a very robust extractor on a Mossberg 500, but in general they're high-quality. One thing to note: .38 Special ammunition is identical in size to .357 Magnum except being a bit shorter. For this reason, if one had two revolvers: one chambered in .357 Magnum and one in .38 Special (or the plans to buy one of each) then it would be cost effective to only buy snap caps in .38 Special so they could be used in either revolver, while the .357 variant will only work in .357 Magnum revolvers.

Dry firing your weapons is the second best practice you can get shortnof actual range time. Dry firing guns, especially older ones without a transfer bar is a definite no-no. These snap caps allow you to Dry fire all you want with no damage to your guns. I have them in a bunch of calibers. Get them, you'll thank me later.

Lyman products never disappoint

bought this so my wife and i could practice trigger control and reloading a S&W 686. the weight is close to a real .357 round. i only downsise is that the S&W holds 7 rounds but you get 7 snapcaps ☺

Perfect slick fit.

as described ,2 thumbs up

These work well, but are quite a bit lighter than real loaded rounds, so they don't exactly feel like the loaded rounds when fry firing.
