[QUOTE="Buzzdraw, post: 1010802, member: 385"] The plastic ones for handguns/rifles are pretty easy to break. The aluminum ones by A-Zoom are much sturdier. The anodizing coating is aircraft-grade and will last. Eventually, with much hard use or several year's age, the polymer cushion in the primer area will harden; replace at that point with new caps. If you plan to dryfire your firearm a lot, snap caps are cheap insurance to protect your firearm. I've seen snapped-off firing pin tips and cracked breech faces on guns that had extensive dry fire. The handling dummies, basically a real cartridge without primer or powder, have their place. They lack the polymer primer cushion, which saves your gun unnecessary wear. [/QUOTE]
