How are they used
Might be a stupid question, but do these actually cycle through the gun or do you eject them manually?
Can this be used in the Gen 4 Glock 26?
do they work on a 9mm and 9mm luger

Exactly as Expected

Just ran these through a new firearm purchase. They work exactly as they should. Not one misfeed or failure to eject. I liked them so much I ordered another.Pros- Look and feel, not too light or heavy, easy to distinguish from regular ammo, jam resistantCons- none yetUnknowns- not sure how long they’ll last as I dry fire practice a lot. Only ran them through about five times, seems okay so far with durability; again, part plastic so not sure how long it’ll last but so far, so goodTime will tell how much value these have compared to pricing but as of today I’m a pretty happy customer.

Must Have

As a gun enthusiast who values proper firearm maintenance, I recently added the Tipton Pistol Snap Caps to my collection of shooting accessories, and I must say, I am thoroughly impressed by their quality and performance.The Tipton Pistol Snap Caps are designed to mimic the size, weight, and shape of real ammunition, making them an essential tool for safely testing and practicing various functions of your pistol without the need for live rounds. This not only helps prevent potential damage to your firearm but also ensures a safer experience during dry firing and function testing.

Works well

Got 8 of these when my compact .40s&w (Walther PPS Mk I) was new, to practice dry firing. They work well.

Unbelievable product, incredibly fast delivery

I looked and looked here at Amazon for the Tipton Snap Caps to go on sale - paying $16.34 just seemed nuts to me. Just three days ago, I looked and they were marked down to $7.94 for the box of five 9mm Luger. A whopping 50%+ off and I ordered two boxes. Returning often to Amazon has great rewards to a savvy shopper, something I believe Amazon smartly uses to keep us returning.The Tipton 9mm Luger snap caps came today, just 3 days after ordering, actually I believe I ordered very late in the evening, so 2.25 days is more realistic. I always look for a week or two at Amazon, the prices do vary greatly from day to day on many products. As I look now, the Snap Caps I bought 3 days ago for $7.94 are $16.34 - seriously, if you don't need it this minute, wait and catch a one day mark-down, I got 10 snap caps for the price of 5. BRAVO on the very fast delivery too, from Knoxville, TN to NJ is NOT a hop, skip and jump away and I chose regular delivery, nothing faster.As for the Tipton Snap Caps, wow! Very cool indeed. Dry firing your weapons is a great way to keep sharp, whether loading, firing, swapping magazines, racking the slide, practicing for failure to feed, failure to fire or any other motions you want to practice. Even at the range, have someone load your magazines for you and place random snap caps among live rounds to practice expelling a bad round and racking a new one.We all know any rim-fire guns should never be dry fired, and sadly I see poor reviews for the Tipton 22lr snap caps, but most center fire guns can dry fire without harm, but in the same thought, why risk the chance of slamming your firing pin against nothing when you can fire it with these beauties?There is no mistaking them for live rounds, they are brilliantly made. I can see a box will last a very long time. I have seen on Youtube people with concerns whether a well used snap cap will indent deep enough in the brass that it will be useless as a way to have your firing pin hit against it - but in reply I saw a Youtuber showing how the indent in the primer area was not all that happened, the spring also gave way to the force of the firing pin, so the indent PLUS the inward motion of the primer spring absorbed the force of the firing pin, thus only leaving a given dent into the snap cap primer area - better put, even after a thousand dry fires, the divot in the snap cap primer still contacted the firing pin as the snap cap spring absorbed the additional force of the firing pin.So whether it is to see if your firing pin is centered, or practice all your steps at handling your firearm, I believe these will do the job BETTER than any other snap cap you can buy.Great product, fast service and awesome price - can't ask for anything better.

Useful and well--made tools

There seem to be varying opinions on the need for snap caps. At this price point, I thought they were worth it just for the ability to safely confirm firing pin and ejector mechanism operations. The internal spring mechanism on the fake primer is a nice touch, and the items feel well-made and likely to last.

Exactly What I Was Looking For

This is exactly what I was looking for to be able to practice dry firing without having to do it on an empty chamber.Tip: If, you just do a slight press check instead of a full rack, the round the round will not extract and you can reset for another pull without having to constantly reload ;)

Not quite the same size as an actual cartridge

These Tipton snap caps work, but I can't say they are without issues.During dry fire (pistol), if you partially retract the slide to reset the trigger there is a chance the case rim of the snap cap will dislodge from the extractor, which can create a stoppage that doesn't really make for a very smooth and uninterrupted training session if all you're aiming to do is just dry fire practice without any malfunctions. On a Glock, this is also very bad for your extractor if you let the slide slam home with the snap cap still in the chamber. The first 15 dry fires with these caps, I had about 2-3 like this.Comparing the 9mm Tipton cap to an actual 9mm live round, the Tipton cap is actually just a bit smaller in diameter. This can also be verified by the fact your LCI, if you have one, will actually protrude less with the Tipton cap than it would with a live round.That all having been said, otherwise, they do seem rather solid in construction. The firing pin makes less of an indentation on the spring loaded primer and they do seem like they would hold up for quite a while.
