How to use Snap Caps (dummy Rounds) to practice the Type 1 Pistol Malfunction Drill.

How I use A-Zoom Snap Caps (dummy rounds) to practice the Type 1 Malfunction. Also known as a failure to fire or "Click, but no Bang".

Products used in the video:*

Snap-Caps (dummy rounds) A-Zoom 9mm: https://amzn.to/40AZfAj
Snap Caps (dummy rounds) A-Zoom All calibers: https://amzn.to/3Zhi7mJ
Snap Caps (dummy rounds) other brands: https://amzn.to/40uig7m

***Note: Some Snap Caps are not designed for "dry firing" (actually pressing the trigger). Be sure to select a product is designed for dry firing. (the first selection above is the one you want in 9mm)

Practicing the Type 1 Malfunction clearing drill is pretty straightforward, in this video I will demonstrate SAFELY practicing the drill using Snap Caps (also known as dummy rounds).

While the Type 1 Malfunction clearing drill can be practiced with an empty gun, I find that using Snap Caps provides the most realistic experience.

I am using a Glock 17 to demonstrate the Type 1 Pistol Malfunction clearing drill, but the drill is the same for virtually any semiautomatic handgun. You will just need the correct caliber Snap Caps for your particular pistol.
