Steelworx 45 ACP (Auto) Stainless Steel Snap Cap Training Round

These steelwork snap caps are way better and help with feel and weight for training. Also like the added visibility of the red tips and durability. Amazing for the price point. Think I will get another set soon.

At the time of this review the price was great and worked well to practice clearing stove pipes, jams and other malfunctions. Also great for drawing practice.

These are perfect for function checking the 1911 that I'm building. add to that I can do everything I need to without having live ammo anywhere near my work bench. Perfect fit, I especially love the rubber primer plug so even "dry fire" I have 0 worries that I'm going to damage anything. I purchased these in 45 acp because I got some of their .357/38spl Snap Caps and I've probably dry fired those over a thousand times and they show almost no wear except for a little spot where I can see where the hammer falls. This is a quality product.

Good value. Nice snap caps.

I just received them. They arrived in 2 small canisters. Packaging is overkill. I mean that in a positive light however. Above and beyond.The 10 I purchased cycled through the pistol from my magazines perfectly. They are a replacement for worn out snap caps made of lesser quality materials.The caviat here is they are roughly .020” of an inch shorter than actual Ball Ammunition. I was hoping they would be actual 1:1 to Ball ammunition because that would allow a gunsmith to use them in the capacity to safely troubleshoot mis feeding, and failures, thus they are snap caps for general training and not for malfunction checking by certified gunsmiths such as myself. This is acceptable for the public at large, and will assist their training and learning process. That is exactly what this was made for. It is well within it’s intended use, however for an actual gunsmith they cannot serve as a tool to initieate repairs or determine the cause of malfunctions.

Does what it says. Helped immensely

These fit & function well, and are not easily mistaken for live rounds. The red finish on the “bullet” wears off pretty quickly though. Best feature is the replaceable rubber primer insert. I have found that the brass insert with spring used on more expensive dummy rounds does not hold up well over time and is not replaceable. So these represent better value.

Excellent training gear. Great for Failure to fire drill and safe training. Love it!
