Sold in convenient 25-packs, these snap caps combine durability with precision fit, backed by a limited lifetime warranty, making them an essential accessory for responsible firearm owners and enthusiasts. ## Description It's widely acknowledged that dropping the firing pin on an empty chamber is not advisable, making Snap Caps essential for your firearms. Always use Snap Caps when checking or adjusting trigger pull. If you prefer to release hammer spring tension when storing your guns, Snap Caps are ideal for this purpose. Review: Better than any other rival product of it's type - I bought these in 7.62x39 and 9mm (which came with 5 cartriges, not 2) in early 2014, .223 later that year, and 12 gauge in early 2015. Plus many other redundant purchase of the same cartrige over and over. Generally I buy these every time I get a new gun, in the respective chambering. They're good to have lying around for practice or checking functionality after cleaning. I live in California where the bullet button is king, so the 223 gets more use as a bullet button "tool" than anything else. I keep these in the case that I keep the respective weapon in. The 7.62x39 got more actual use than any other l which is why I'm reviewing that chambering. After nearly 3 years, one of the two cartridges broke. The red plastic finally had enough and cracked. It's probably been cycled about 200 times (I cycle these a lot). I also wish they came with more than 2. But if you plan on using these for what they're for, they work better than any other rival product. Contrary to other reviewers, I've never had issues with chips coming off without me noticing and staying in the chamber, or the primer being crushed by the firing pin. I've used a generic version of these that came in a private purchase I made, and those had really chippy plastic. That concerns me. If I hadn't noticed it, the shrapnel would have remained in the chamber or barrel and possibly caused something bad to happen when I fired live ammo. At the very least, a failure to chamber. Not worth taking risks with guns over a few bucks to get a cheaper rival product with more cartridges. Buy these, make sure to check them for cracks, what, every few months? And you'll be fine. Review: Finally found a snap cap that works! - I've tried looking in local 'big box' stores for a wall anchor that would extract in my collection of 22 bolt guns. No luck. I recently purchase a box of 100 Hillman (yellow) anchors here on desertcart and not only won't they extract, they fit completely flush into the chambers of my Ruger rifles. I did find they WILL extract on a couple of other brand rifles, but the fact the 'rim' is virtually non-existent on the Hillman anchors, I can't see them being effective protecting the Ruger firing pins. Evidently, the latest Hillman anchors have been 'redesigned'. Today, I received these Tipton caps. They have a rim, and function/extract perfectly. Why didn't I just use a spent case? Because it has no 'point', the spent case is more difficult to insert into the chamber, even with tweezers. I never put them in a magazine and try feeding them like a live round. Note: Once you have either a spent case (or a Tipton cap) in the bbl, there is NO need to lift and pull the bolt back as in live fire. Simply lifting the bolt and lowering it cocks the action, and you won't have your snap cap leaving the rifle. I have a lot of 22lr bolt guns, and I'm constantly experimenting with trigger pull weights. ## Features - SPECS: .22 Rimfire, 25 Pack - VERSATILITY: Tipton Snap Caps are useful in a variety of applications, from safely adjusting trigger pull to releasing tension on hammer springs for storage - DESIGN: Tipton Snap Caps reduce stress on the firing pin and barrel breech when dry firing - CONVENIENT: Snap Caps are reusable, making them an affordable option for dry fire training and practicing safe firearm handling - VARIETY: Explore the entire Tipton Snap Cap line for pistols, rifles, and shotguns - GUARANTEED: This product is covered by a limited lifetime warranty provided by Tipton.

Probably cost about 10 cents to make and another quarter or so to pack and ship. That all being said, these are the only rimfire snap caps that I've come across that work at all for dry firing. The plastic is resilient enough to take multiple strikes. I dry-fired my first set for probably 30 minutes straight without one of them failing. The metal caps I tried all ended up very distorted and unusable after the same amount of dry fire. The other brand of plastic caps had their rims shatter after a few minutes of dry fire. These caps have held up the longest I've seen so far. Rimfire snap-caps are by definition a consumable item, they will all eventually break at the rim, just the nature of things. These at least last long enough to get you moneys worth in dry-fire time. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/1739003-tipton-rifle-snap-caps-with-false-primer-and-reusable-construction](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/1739003-tipton-rifle-snap-caps-with-false-primer-and-reusable-construction) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-05-28*
