Pro Shotgun or Pistol Safety Trainer Cartridge Dummy Rounds Close to Real Weight

These trainer cartridges are really nice, and appear well-built.They have a polymer tip to simulate the projectile portion of the cartridge so there's no chance of damage to your feed ramp or chamber during function testing. The body of the casing is made of what appears to be good quality metal (I don't know what type of metal, but it seems of good quality) with a softer insert in the primer portion of the cartridge which will protect your striker/firing pin.The weight of the trainer cartridges seems on par with typical loaded live cartridges, so they serve as a good analog for loading. The fact that they are colored a vibrant color helps identify them as a training aid and minimizes any confusion for live cartridges.In my experience, the trainer cartridges loaded well and cycled through the action with no difficulties. I would definitely recommend these for someone looking to do off-range teaching or training for familiarization, loading, situational re-loading, or malfunction clearing. When a crisis hits we fall back on our training and knowing how to act in a crisis situation without too much in-the-moment thought could save your life.

These 9mm dummy rounds are precisely what I needed for safe and effective dry-fire practice. They cycle smoothly through my firearm without issues, and the construction feels durable enough to withstand repeated use. The weight and dimensions are realistic, making them great for training drills, malfunction clearing, and trigger control exercises.I highly recommend these for anyone looking to improve their handling skills without the risk of live ammunition. They are great quality at a reasonable price, and they are definitely a worthwhile purchase!

At 9g these are advertised as being close to actual weight. FMJ 9 mm rounds weighs about 12 grams. To test them, I ran 50 rounds by manually cycling the slide in the following 9mm pistols:Glock 19 second generation, factory 15 rnd mags.Walther PPS M1, factory 8 rnd mag.WWII Walther P38, 8 rnd magAfter a total of 150 rounds I did not encounter a single malfunction. The plastic like bullet heads remained in their proper position in the case and we're not pushed down or pushed in or broken off.They also showed no signs of wear to the "bullets."What I particularly like is the fact that the rounds include replacement firing pin pads and the tool to remove them.I emailed the seller, Booliteye, with a couple questions which were quickly answer.If you're looking for dummy rounds for training purposes I highly recommend these.

I had no problem cycling these through my 12-gauge shotgun, so they’re able to help me with practicing cycling. Much, much better than their 30-06 variant, which were almost useless.

excellent deal on qualityt metal item. they work as adverstised at a good price. durable.

Great product!!! As a firearms instructor with the state of Tennessee, the NRA and the USCCA. As well as being a certified armed security instructor/trainer. I use them all the time in my classes!!!

I originally purchased these dummy rounds to practice with my Remington 870 20-gauge shotgun. Unfortunately, the product was incompatible with my gun’s mechanism, with many rounds either failing to eject properly or getting stuck in the receiver. In contrast, my aluminum dummy rounds performed smoothly. Another issue was the use of a steel case head, which I worried might cause faster wear on the extractor compared to softer metals like aluminum or brass.Review Update: After publishing my review, the manufacturer reached out and offered to send an updated version of the 20-gauge dummy rounds. I agreed, and after a few days, I received a new batch that felt noticeably heavier than the originals. This updated version ejects more reliably from my Remington 870, and the added weight doesn't seem to hinder the ejection process.Interestingly, my initial concern over the steel base has shifted. Through further experience, I realized that aluminum dummy rounds tend to get easily nicked and bruised by the extractor and ejector (at least in the 870). In comparison, the steel base has proven more durable. Despite these improvements, since there’s no clear indication if customers will receive the updated design or the original faulty version, I’m hesitant to rate this product higher than three stars.

Using these for my Hello Kitty COD GHOST cosplay, and currently painting them pink to match my theme. They fit into the shotgun shell holders that I have really well, it weights pretty heavy when all of them are in the same box
