Snap Cap carrying

[415shooter]

I've been lurking for a while. Was wondering how everyone carries their snap caps? do you put them in a mag? or just loose in the bottom of your range bag?

P.S. If I am in the wrong thread please put this in the right thread

I keep them in the package that they came in because I don't want to mix them accidently with live ammo.

Neither, I have them scatter throughout the house. Until this thread, I never put much thought as to why I don't have them in my range bag.

[Donk310]

I keep mine in the trash.

Small plastic case I got with a photo filter, a film can would work well too.

[RogueSniper]

I keep them with my gun cleaning gear. After the cleaning I function test my gun with the snap cap. Live ammo and snap caps are NEVER near each other for fear of a mix up and possible ND (negligent discharge).

I always leave a snap cap in the chamber of my pistols and rifle.

Except the Walther PPK/S, leaving a round in the chamber of that thing will wear out the spring for the loaded chamber indicator.

Why exactly?

[taloft]

I just leave them in the original packaging so I don't mix them up. I only take them to the range when I intend to teach someone how to shoot. They work really well for failure drills and detecting flinches.

I used snap caps only when I train others. I use dummy rounds for function tests. Never use snap caps for myself.

Dummy rounds for me, in a ziplock baggy, in my range bag.

usually when i transport my guns to and from the range, i have a snap cap in the chamber. (Azoom) people do this because it allows them to drop the hammer/decock the gun without causing damage to the firing pin. and so the gun does not ride around 'cocked' when its not being used.

otherwise, my azooms stay at the bottom of my bait and tackle AKA gun parts box.

Ditto.

[Black Majik]

I keep mine in the money trays of petty cash boxes. I never bring snap caps with me at the range. If I'm gonna dryfire between strings, I'll dryfire on an empty chamber. It can handle it.

[OLDPUPPYMAX]

Only have them for my .45 Colt New Army. I keep them in the gun around the house and leave them at home when I go to the range. Still, I always check before picking the pistol up at home.
