As for the dummy shells, they work great for what they are intended. I would advise the use of snap caps for intense dry firing practice.

I also have snap caps for just that purpose, dry firing. What they do not have is the weight, feel and texture of a real round and are crap for reloading practice or misfire drills.

Team Sergeant, Sir

ALL my pin damage experience is from pistols and never from a "long" weapon. I suppose the thicker firing pins used are much stronger than the itty bitty pins used on semi-auto's.

I guess you can attribute my paranoia to my trauma of broken pins!! ;-)


I really need to get some sleep
