Anyone ever practiced/trained using "dummy rounds"? I guess they are plastic...orange...look like the real thing?? I am not familiar with this and would like some input. Thanks.:icon_think:
To purchase them go to www.ofagear.com and choose from the menu on the left "Training Cartridges" and then select which handgun or rifle caliber.
There is a product called a "Plastic Training Cartridge" which uses actual cartridge cases and is filled with an inert hard poly shaped like a projectile. We use them every week at the Academy and they last forever. Of all the different types on the market to purchase (we've tried them all) this one works the best, is most realistic, and has an extensive life - unlike most of the others. These Training Cartridges are filled with a highly visible colored poly (usually bright safety orange or yellow) so you won't confuse it with a live cartridge and they are a 1000% times easier to find on the range deck.
To purchase them go to www.ofagear.com and choose from the menu on the left "Training Cartridges" and then select which handgun or rifle caliber. They can be used for a variety of firearm related tasks including inducing unscheduled malfunctions and/or practicing combat or tactical reloads.
"Dummy Rounds" are technically real cartridges without a primer or propellant and are not recommended because they can, and will, become easily mixed with live cartridges. Many range related accidents and instructional demos blunders have been caused because the individual using a "dummy" cartridge "thought or assumed" is was inert - and it wasn't.
Nice website and good price. However, I was not informed that the item was out of stock until after the purchase. In this case, I don't mind, but you ought to rethink this approach.
Howard,
Please accept our apology! I was totally unaware of this and contacted our office. The office said your order was shipped today (3.10.08) and we are not out-of-stock. Apparently the web site has an programming error regarding the practice rounds and our IT/Web Designer was informed about this today after I read your post. He will check into it and get it fixed immedately.
