I use snap caps for dry fire practice in my LCR, but don't quite understand their use in a semi-auto.
If the gasses and pressure of a real cartridge being fired is what operates the action, then you would have to manually rack the slide spitting out the snap cap every time you wanted to dry fire. This seems absurd, considering this is not the way you would be using such a gun during real shooting, not to mention being a sure fire way to have some really sore hands next morning!
Is there something I'm not getting here?
