November 2020 Trigger Times page 3 .22 Rimfire Snap Caps Most people realize that dry firing a firearm is better done when there is a dummy round or snap cap in the chamber. In a centerfire gun, the snap cap prevents the firing pin from encountering a hard stop, rather than a relatively soft primer. In a rimfire gun, the snap cap prevents the firing pin from impacting the chamber edge, which would damage it if done repeatedly. Unfortunately, rimfire snap caps are quite expensive and break easily, limiting their usefullness. We’ve found a great alternative. Home Depot stocks plastic wall anchors that are a perfect fit in a .22 rimfire chamber, and they’re only $3.92 per hundred!
