BOOLIT EYE Pro Shotgun or Pistol Safety Trainer Cartridge Dummy Rounds Close to Real Weight

These trainer cartridges are really nice, and appear well-built. They have a polymer tip to simulate the projectile portion of the cartridge so there's no chance of damage to your feed ramp or chamber during function testing. The body of the casing is made of what appears to be good quality metal (I don't know what type of metal, but it seems of good quality) with a softer insert in the primer portion of the cartridge which will protect your striker/firing pin. The weight of the trainer cartridges seems on par with typical loaded live cartridges, so they serve as a good analog for loading. The fact that they are colored a vibrant color helps identify them as a training aid and minimizes any confusion for live cartridges. In my experience, the trainer cartridges loaded well and cycled through the action with no difficulties. I would definitely recommend these for someone looking to do off-range teaching or training for familiarization, loading, situational re-loading, or malfunction clearing. When a crisis hits we fall back on our training and knowing how to act in a crisis situation without too much in-the-moment thought could save your life.

It's a nice training round. I like it because it has color and I used it in a clear mag for training. It works great. No issues chambering or extracting.

Very good practice rounds

Simple. Works as expected. Dimensions are accurate. No misfeed so far.

Great for mag drills and simulating the weight of a loaded mag. These are cost effective and will provide the utility for a dummy round with dryfiring protection. Ejecting these is hit or miss and likely due to the nature of the materials, so user beware. Otherwise a 1:1 fit and size to a real round.

Worked well with my S&WEZ.

this is a review for the 9 mm 12 pack. i bought these as snap caps. much better deal than azoom or tipton 9mm snap caps. cheaper than tipton and you get 12 instead of 5. there is weight to these dummy rounds and you can use them to safely learn the manual of arms of your gun. the "primers" are replaceable but given that it is new, it's unclear how long they will hold up. they come in a nice container which helps keep the replaceable rubber inserts along with a small pry tool for replacing them. a safety pin would work just as well for prying them off. i put the 9 mm in a 9 mm case gauge and they fit but are slightly shorter than properly sized cases but will not impact their use as dummy rounds or snap caps. more importantly that means they should fit in all 9 mm guns. 357mag review, great product. feels heavy enough to mimic a bullet and again allows safe manipulation of firearm if still learning how to handle the gun. i would have chosen the 38 spcl snap caps since a 357 will chamber both but inexplicably this was 11.66 vs 16.99 for the 38 special. since i have both 357s and 38 spcl revolvers. i'll just use this for the 357 thus freeing up my old 38 spcl snap caps for the pure 38 spcl guns.

I originally purchased these dummy rounds to practice with my Remington 870 20-gauge shotgun. Unfortunately, the product was incompatible with my gun’s mechanism, with many rounds either failing to eject properly or getting stuck in the receiver. In contrast, my aluminum dummy rounds performed smoothly. Another issue was the use of a steel case head, which I worried might cause faster wear on the extractor compared to softer metals like aluminum or brass. Review Update: After publishing my review, the manufacturer reached out and offered to send an updated version of the 20-gauge dummy rounds. I agreed, and after a few days, I received a new batch that felt noticeably heavier than the originals. This updated version ejects more reliably from my Remington 870, and the added weight doesn't seem to hinder the ejection process. Interestingly, my initial concern over the steel base has shifted. Through further experience, I realized that aluminum dummy rounds tend to get easily nicked and bruised by the extractor and ejector (at least in the 870). In comparison, the steel base has proven more durable. Despite these improvements, since there’s no clear indication if customers will receive the updated design or the original faulty version, I’m hesitant to rate this product higher than three stars.
