Snap Caps
I am wondering if anyone knows if a person should use a snap cap on guns so that the firing pin is not always in a cocked positions. Ex: when a person shots the last round in a gun and ejects the last round the firing pin is ready to shoot again. I am wondering if this will have any effect on the life of the spring or maybe it will not really do anything. Thanks Everyone

I am looking to buy some snap caps to practice with......I was wondering if there is any difference between the plastic and the aluminum ones?.....Any help is appreciated....... 0 -
I use snap caps in all my shotguns. But then I'm shooting at least 10,000 rounds a year.
Your mileage may vary.

I try to leave all my guns with the firing pins in a (relaxed) state, either by using Snap Caps or letting the bolt down with the trigger pressed.
Possibly that keeps the firing pin springs from taking a set.

Use snapcaps on everything where I can find a usable caliber snap cap. 0 -
I say yes as well, I just bought a Beretta Shotgun and the instructions say to use snap caps and release the break down lever as well after cleaning, Les 0 -
Why not! Sounds good use them.
I have never used them,I have a couple older fine shotguns 30-35 years old that I use in hunting season only sometimes the 12
doesnt get shot at all for a few years
never had a problem maybe just lucky
I think what gun?, has alot to do with it0 -
I bought the snap caps. I am wondering I must leave them in or it would bring the firing pin back. Do I have to worry about them just sitting in the chamber.
Thanks0 -
No problem with leaving them in the chambers at all.
I would lightly wipe them with oil before leaving them in for any length of time just to be on the safe side.
