I purchased some A-Zoom snap caps for my Glock 19. I've never used these before so I have a couple of questions. First of all they are not the same size as a 9mm cartridge! Is this normal? Also when I attempted to "shoot" them the trigger can be pulled, but it will not reset. Is that normal?
also should they perform just like a real cartridge and eject from the pistol and etc?
Thanks
I don't know enough about Glocks to tell whether the lack of trigger reset is normal, but no, the snap-caps will not eject like a regular cartridge. A semi-automatic pistol relies on recoil to cycle the slide and eject the cartridge, which is absent in a snap-cap. This factors into one of the big reasons people buy snap-caps, which is to practice how to quickly recover from a failure to fire (FTF).Quote:

Thanks for your help! I will be attending a class at Range Masters in a couple of weeks!
