Does anything shoot out of them?
No. They're fully inert: no powder, no live primer, nothing leaves the barrel.
Do they reset my trigger?
No. Like any snap cap, you rack the slide (or reset manually) after each press. That's how you practice your reset.
Will they feed and eject?
Yes. Built to factory spec, they feed, chamber and eject like the real thing when you rack the slide.

Why real weight matters
Train with weight, not plastic.
A loaded mag and a loaded gun handle differently than empty ones. Practice with featherweight dummies and your reloads, malfunction clears and draws get tuned to the wrong gun.

New to dry fire? Start here
Build confidence at home. No range needed.
Learn to handle your gun properly in a safe environment, on your own schedule.
Set up safely
Verify your gun is unloaded, keep all live ammo out of the room, and always point in a safe direction. Follow your manufacturer's guidance.
Get the starter setup: snap caps + MagBlock™
Snap caps give your mags real weight. MagBlock lets you rack the slide again and again without chambering a round or reloading caps into your mag. That's what makes daily practice easy.
Practice one skill at a time
Start slow and rack between presses. The free SnapPoint Dry Fire app gives you a plan.
What is dry fire?
Practicing gun handling, sight alignment, trigger control and reloads with no live ammunition. You can do it at home in a few minutes, and it builds the skills you use at the range.
Is it safe?
Yes, when you follow the same steps every time: verify your gun is unloaded, keep all live ammo out of the room, point in a safe direction and follow your manufacturer's guidance. Snap caps are inert, but they never replace a safety check.
How often should I practice?
Short, focused sessions a few days a week. Five to ten minutes is a great place to start.
Do I need MagBlock?
You can dry fire with snap caps alone, but MagBlock makes it far easier. It sits on top of the rounds so you can rack the slide over and over: nothing chambers, no slide lock, and no reloading caps into your mag. (Not for .380.)
If they don't feel like the real thing, we'll make it right.

Frequently asked questions
What calibers do you offer?
9mm, .380 ACP, .40 S&W, 10mm, .45 ACP, .38 Special and .357 Magnum.
Does anything shoot out of them?
No. SnapPoints are completely inert: no powder, no live primer, nothing leaves the barrel. The projectile is pressed into the case and stays there. When you press the trigger, the firing pin hits the SnapPlug insert and that's it.
Do they reset my trigger automatically?
No. Like any snap cap, SnapPoints don't fire, so they can't cycle the action or reset the trigger for you. After each press you rack the slide (or reset manually), the same as any dry-fire setup. That's how you practice your reset and manipulations. Tip: add a MagBlock so your slide doesn't lock back between reps.
What are the rounds made from?
Factory-new brass, real projectiles (containing lead) for authentic weight, and our SnapPlug primer insert. Fully inert: no powder, no live primer.
⚠️ Prop 65 (California): This product contains lead, which is known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. www.P65Warnings.ca.gov
Are they safe for dry fire?
Yes. The SnapPlug primer insert cushions your firing pin, so you can dry fire, rack and eject over and over without damage.
Will they feed and eject from my firearm?
Yes. SnapPoints are built to factory spec, so they feed, chamber and eject like live ammunition when you rack the slide. They're fully inert, so nothing cycles on its own: you still rack and reset the trigger between reps.
How many rounds are in a pack?
9mm, .380, .40 S&W, .38 Special and .357 Magnum come in 20-packs (40 and 60 bundles save more). 10mm and .45 ACP come in 15-packs. Pick your color and bullet weight on the product page.
Are they reusable?
Absolutely. They're built for thousands of reps, ejections and reloads. If a SnapPlug wears out, swap in a SnapPlug refill.
Where are they made?
Hand-pressed in small batches in Colorado, USA.
