Hello, I'm wondering if my Snap Caps are faulty. Mine is the CNC machined one that's anodized in a dark grape purple color type (not spring loaded type). I'm concerned the fake primer material is too "hard".
I can't make any marks with my finger nails; the firing pin only made a tiny impression. I'm questioning whether its safe to dry fire my gun with these snap caps. My gun is new, and after dry firing the snap caps a few times, I noticed the firing pin has lost its parkerization and is now exposed bare metal.
Your Snap Caps are fine. The material is harder than primer metal. It has to be. If your firing pin dented the snap cap as much as a primer, then there would be nothing to catch the hammer/firing pin. You would be back to dry firing on empty chambers.
The idea behind the snap cap is to prevent the hammer from hitting the frame, by giving the firing pin something to land against.
The loss of parkerization on the end of the firing pin is normal and would occur if you were actually shooting bullets. Normal cleaning and lubrication of the gun will prevent any rust on the pin.
