Carlson's Choke Tubes 00099 Snap Cap Spring Loaded Striking 12 Gauge Plastic w/Metal Base 2

Carlson's 12 gauge snap caps are spring-loaded dummy rounds designed to protect your shotgun's firing pin while you practice mounting, handling, and dry-fire training without ammunition. Whether you're refining your swing on clay targets, working through your flinch at the range, or simply maintaining your shotgun's action during the off-season, these snap caps let you cycle your gun safely and repeatedly without risk of firing pin damage. The two-pack gives you a reliable training tool that's become standard gear for serious shotgunners and competitive shooters.

The snap cap design centers on a spring-loaded striking surface backed by a metal base, so when your firing pin falls, it contacts a cushioned zone rather than the hard steel of an empty chamber. That simple innovation means you can dry-fire your shotgun thousands of times without the wear and mechanical stress that would otherwise accumulate. They're particularly useful for shooters working to eliminate flinch—a common challenge that snap caps address better than live ammo or a simple empty gun.

At home or at the club, snap caps are a no-brainer addition to your shotgun maintenance kit. Keep a pair in your gun bag, toss them in your range box, or use them as part of your regular dry-fire routine. They fit standard 12 gauge chambers and are built to handle repeated strikes from any 12 gauge shotgun's firing mechanism.
