Simulated misfire

[4gunfun]

Good idea, I never thought about doing this. Should set up your wife's pistol too to see wht she does.

Yeah, snap caps all the way. Helps with flinching as well. Load up all your mags with them in various places, then mix your mags up with your eyes closed so you don't know which is which. Or get a friend.

I learned it from board member Kwando.

Or, you could just buy all of your ammo sizes in the winchester white box!

When loading I make a couple of dummy rounds. Snap caps are also good. Azoom ones heft like a round. The best is to let a friend load your mags. I've gone shooting with a friend doing this where there would be between none and two dummies per mag and we'd time ourselves clearing and putting the live rounds on target.

I suppose you get a Jennings or one of the other POS jamamatic brands.

This would be very interesting.....Good way to see if she has learned anything.

So aas long as I have a bullet in a cartridge to ramp, it will load.

any other methods of failed ejections or misfire simulations?

[Guylee]

If you load your mag with used casings it will simulate a FTF. Well not really simulate it WILL FTF.

Careful though I could see this causing problems...

Snap Caps

Google it

All of the fun of dry-firing/Misfire without the pain of an actual dry-fire or trying to shove an already spent casing into the chamber or something else silly.

I Swear to god Im not making this up, in NC I actually sat on the line next to someone that wanted to do this, they pulled the rounds out of the casing, dumped the powder, reseated the rounds by hand with god-knows-what and ran them in with his regular ammo.

I'll give ya 2 guesses what happened the first time he hit one...



Don't play around folks, get a real snap cap, save your weapon and your life.

safety first.

The one after that most likely will go kaboommm

I had a squib when I first started reloading. With a 9mm the primer sent the bullet several inches into the barrel. Fortunately. I was paying attention. I use real snap caps or ones I make myself with no primer so I can see that it ain't real. Be careful. I paid much better attention when reloading after that.
