Hi:

The post about snap caps jogged my mind as to why I do not use snap caps!

I had an experience where the snap cap could have led to very bad situation. I quit using them immediately.

I think that it went something like this. I looked at the chambers and saw what I thought were snap caps but were indeed loaded shells. Had I released the tension on the firing pin springs, bad things may have happened.

I thought of painting the end of the snap caps a very obvious colour to help me notice when snap caps were in the chambers but I scrapped the entire idea and just said no more snap caps. This one incident made me rethink the entire idea of using snap caps!

Has anybody else out there had A "problem" of this sort when using snap caps etc.?

Be well,

Franchi
