Snap caps specifically designed for revolvers
I just got my LCR back from Ruger after a warranty service. The threw in a set of 8-shot snap caps. Unlike regular snap caps, they have a one-piece design with a built-in moon clip. There are dimples in areas where the hammer will hit. It is just awesome.
I wonder if anyone knows what they are called? Thanks. |

Not trying to be a smart arse , but are you sure it is not just an empty chamber indicator?

Thanks for the photo.
(Says the guy that might rather go to the dentist than to figure out how to post a photo again.) Much appreciated. |

Not sure what the purpose of this is but I don’t think it’s a snap cap. The cutouts in the rim won’t protect the striker thus not performing the basic function of a snap cap. Just a guess though.

Looks like a cheap timing tool.

I bought a New Ruger GP 100 .22 revolver a few years ago and it came with that. I've seen them in other new .22 revolvers as well. I've only seen them in .22 double actions as I recall.

For .22s, I use yellow #4 wall anchors - 100 cost about $4
For my other revolvers, I use AZOOMS- technically a training dummy - they also work well as snap caps

I use these for my J-frame and K-frame. J-frame works with a converted 9mm cylinder, as well.

revolver snapcaps
for my .38sp and .357 I use A-Zoom. for the .22lr i have some small plastic ones I got many years ago from Cabelas, but you could also use wall anchors or even spent .22lr shells
