.40 SW Snapcaps

**cerop** · 08-01-2011, 22:41

Can anyone refer me to a dealer in the Pretoria/Jo'burg area that stock .40 cal snapcaps, or somewhere I can order online. I can get a 5-pack from Brownells for about $17- but if I can get locally, all the better.

Thanks

I found that Camp Shop stocks, but not in .40SW. E-Mailed them about it...

Found some on Wantitall.co.za

At that price I might consider just getting the ones from Brownells. Anyways, if anyone is looking for any snap caps, they can order online locally from http://www.wantitall.co.za/a-zoom-snap-caps/All/p1

You don't need them for your GLOCK.

Want to use them for malfunction drills. Thinking of just getting dummy rounds instead. Seems more cost effective...

Far more cost effective. They get beaten to shit doing malfunction drills. Get a bag of dummies instead.

Cerop, you sorted for these?

**cerop** · 25-01-2011, 13:16

Hey Bok,

Ya no i decided to settle for plain ol' dummy rounds instead. Makes economical sense, seeing as I will probably be moering half of them away in the first week, and breaking the rest shortly after.

Thanks for caring though...here, have a toffee....

Hehe...sorry, I just couln't resist the toffee thing.....

Bastardly bastard...

Teaches me for caring...

*SIGH*

Shot man!

If you're still looking for snap caps, I ordered a box of .40's from Centurion Indoor Shooting in, erm, well, Centurion :-P

Just a question, do you buy dummy rounds or make them yourself?

I did a quick google and know now what the ones being sold looks like, but I guess you could just load a bullet in a un-primed case without propellant and it will serve the same purpose?

**cerop** · 25-01-2011, 13:38

That's the plan, but use a case with a spent primer, so as to give the firing pin something to strike against.
Also, make the case destinctive, i.e. drill a hold on the side or something to not mix it up with a live round.
