When I can't get to the range--sounds like an old ad, "when I can't get out to smoke a cee-gar, I take a pinch o' snoose..."
There are times when we can't get there from here. That is why god in her infinite wisdom created the snap cap.
We know from an engineering standpoint that it is non optimal for a firing pin to encounter no stop. It won't break the first or second, but maybe the ten thousandth time when you're facing down a rabid saber toothed wildebeest, the fool thing gives way and you're lunch. The use of snap caps allows the firing pin or striker or what not to encounter resistance similar to its design parameters.
The danger and safety of snap caps is that they're not bullets. Not makes them safe. Safe makes complacency. People who get complacent around snap caps must have holes in their heads--or they shortly will.
A gun is always loaded.
Check your weapon to ensure it's loaded only with snap caps.
So what I do is to do bullseye on my light switches. I stand there and go through the ritual for each shot. Do ten, then rest. And so on.
We'll see with these current matches if it does me any good.
