I didnt want to high jack the tread in the pistol section about dry firing without snap caps.
Regardless on your thoughts on the requirement of snap caps there is an option that would benefit both sides of the argument, that being the I-target system.

I thought this would be a gimmick when I first read about it, but got to thinking, at that price, I might as well give it a try.
I was quite impressed. Set up the included target, add your smart phone. Insert the laser dummy cart. and start dry firing.
The cartridge has a built in laser thats activated when the firing pin hits the back of the case and registers on your I phone. The target represented on the phone shows all the shots.
The application for the phone has two sections, One for Bullseye, that isnt timed, and the second for Quick Draw that records the shot and time.
The I Target System has to be used with the included dummy laser round. That means to use the system, you have to unload the gun, and insert the laser round. No accidents because you forgot to unload when you start your dry firing session.
It comes with one round, your choice of caliber. I ordered mine in 38 since I'm more of a revolver guy. After playing with it, I order the 9mm, 380, 45 and 223 rounds (I bypassed the 40 as I dont shoot my 40 cal much.).
Cheap SAFE and effective practice you can do any where, from 1 to 100 feet, (which you set on the I phone application.
Your shooting session can be saved on the Iphone as a record of your progress.
Again its like using any other snap cap for dry firing, it protects the firing pin also.
