50 AE Snap Caps

[Dr. Dingus]

I just recently bought a Desert Eagle, and I was surprised to see that A-Zoom seems to have discontinued their 50 AE snap caps. I've been using A-Zoom for many years, and I've never really thought to check out other brands. Does anyone know of any other alternative for 50 AE snaps? I'd really love to find a pack or two of the OG A-Zooms for my Deagle...

FWIW, I’ve owned multiple Desert Eagles over the past 15 years. I have never used snap caps in any of them and I do a fair bit of dry fire with them.

I just like to have them around to load/unload the gun for fun.

I found some that aren't A-Zoom. But it is a shame I couldn't find an old pack on Ebay. I know most modern non-rimfire guns don't require them, but I love to casually load mags and cycle the actions with them for fun/teach friends how to use said guns. (it blows my mind how so many people don't know how to load/unload guns. Even my friends who are obsessed with action movies/games.)

Do you handload?

You can make some with real components and pencil eraser primers…

Used to be quite convenient, when figuring out “case capacity in grains of water.”

I don't, no. Interesting concept!
