Seems interesting, might last longer than the A Zooms I've had experience with.

Anyone own/use these?

I think they too much like live ammo, like some Wolf or Tula. One could get confused.

My snaps have brass shells and orange plastic bullets. Much harder to confuse and still robust.

The area I dry fire in never has live ammo in it, and I always check that the magazine is empty (I literally say, "I see an empty magazine", and while pressing on the follower, "I feel an empty magazine") then verify each dummy round going into the magazine is indeed a dummy round.

I have no "safe direction" to dry fire in, so I have to take extreme safety precautions. So the fact that this "looks" like live ammo is redundant when I know each round is a dummy round, and the room I am in has never had live ammo in it.

I like orange bullets on dummy rounds.

Yes, dummy rounds are good teaching tools for pistols.
