Description
The Beretta 20 Gauge Plastic Snap Caps give 20 gauge owners an inexpensive way to dry fire, store their guns with springs relaxed and practice handling without live shells. They come as a pair under Beretta part number SN2000500009 and fit 20 gauge shotguns of any action type.
Why Use the Beretta 20 Gauge Plastic Snap Caps
Snap caps for shotguns do two jobs. They cushion the firing pin when you dry fire, and they let you drop hammers on a break-action gun before storage so the springs are not left compressed for long periods.
These 20 gauge dummy shells are all plastic, which keeps the price low and the weight minimal. They are a good basic set for a field gun, a youth shotgun or a new shooter learning the manual of arms.
Their appearance is clearly different from live shells, which is helpful when teaching loading and unloading.
Practice and Storage Tips
Use them as dry fire trainers for mount practice. Mount the gun, track a line along the wall or ceiling, and press the trigger at the end of a smooth swing. A few minutes a day improves consistency on birds and clays.
Before practice, clear all live ammunition from the room and keep the dummies in their own labeled container.
For safe gun storage, leave a pair in the chambers of an over and under or side by side, drop the hammers and store according to the maker instructions. Plastic dummies wear with repeated cycling in pumps and semi-autos, so inspect rims regularly and replace them when worn. The deluxe nickeled brass version is a more durable alternative.

Who Should Buy the Beretta 20 Gauge Plastic Snap Caps
Any 20 gauge owner who wants a simple, affordable set of dummy shells will find the Beretta 20 Gauge Plastic Snap Caps useful. They are an especially good fit for families introducing young shooters to a lightweight 20 gauge.
The trade-off is durability. Plastic will not last as long as brass or aluminum under heavy use, but for storage and occasional dry fire it is perfectly adequate.
Pair them with 20 gauge shells from the MAG5 Firearms ammunition selection, and visit Beretta for more accessories.
Never mix 20 gauge snap caps or shells with 12 gauge ammunition. A 20 gauge shell can slide into a 12 gauge chamber and lodge in the barrel, creating a dangerous obstruction. Keeping gauges in separate, clearly labeled pouches prevents this mistake.
Keep a pair in each gun case so the habit of safe storage follows every 20 gauge you own.
Who it is for: 20 gauge shotgun owners who want affordable dummy shells for dry fire, storage and handling practice. Always keep the Beretta 20 Gauge Plastic Snap Caps separated from live ammunition.
