Greetings,
Where can I buy just one or maybe two 9mm snap caps? It seems no matter where I look i'll end up paying $20 for 5.
I appreciate the help!
Take care
 
Great Scott, you just want a couple? PM me an addy, and I'll send you a few. I get some in all CZ boxes, never use them.
 
Buying a set of 5 isn't a bad idea. I already blew one up with my P89. It knocked the center right out of an A-Zoom! And I've shattered the plastic ones with my revolvers.
 
Actually they are overpriced and wear out depending on how hard the firing pin of a given gun batters them. Why not take a fired case, knock out the primer, and glue some hard rubber in the primer hole with super glue? Cut off a piece that is about the right size, glue it in, and then trim it off flush with the base of the case with a razor blade. Rubber erasers are too soft and crumbly. Like a chunk off an old tire tread would work. If you have a friend who is a reloader, have him make you a dummy round. No primer or powder. Just a FMJ bullet or something. Then fill in the primer pocket and perhaps drill some holes in the side of the case to make it visibly a dummy like the mil. does. Or also do something to color it like paint the bullet blue so that it is clearly the dummy snap cap round. I make snap caps that way for ammo that I have dies for. But like they said, gun shows sell individual snap caps, usually the red plastic and brass ones. But they will run you maybe a couple bucks each, maybe 3.
 
I can buy 5 A-Zooms (the metal ones) for $12 at my local shop. I'd recommend a 5 pack, and use them one at a time until it gets worn out. My SA 1911 thrashes snap caps. A set of five lasts about a year, and I do a LOT of snapcap fire because range trips are getting expensive.

As has been said, you can usually buy singles at a gun show. I'd advise looking around on the intertubes for a pack of A-zooms.

EDIT: Midway has 9mm A-Zooms for 14.79/5pack. Maybe toss it in with your next order?
