No snap caps needed. It will handle dry firing just fine.

YMMV, but if extended sessions of dry-firing practice are what your asking about, the snap caps are a good idea IMO.
Their cheap and give all the working parts something to hit and hang onto producing less stress on the rifle. I use 'em. Mike |

Dime and rod, rod and dime, whatever, drills never seemed to hurt them in the Army....no telling how many dry fires I did doing those.

Not sure about the rod part, but the dime part is a very old practice method. Balance a dime on your barrel. Pull the trigger. If the dime doesn't fall off, you aren't jerking when you fire.

I've been to the Colt armorer's course twice. Dry firing will not hurt the gun.

We would spen endless hours of dry firing techniques in basic training. We would put a part of a cleaning rod in the end of the barrel and balance a dime on the rod. If the dime fell off, you knew you were jerking the trigger instead of squeezing it.
