From what I've read, both Smith & Wesson and Ruger have said that their modern production revolvers are perfectly safe to dry fire. Snap caps shouldn't be necessary. But to be safe, do a search on it to be sure.
Or, go out to the barn and grab a cattle ear tag. I made a cushion (shown below) for my former CZ and my 1911's. I was pleasantly surprised today to find I could modify one to work in my new Smith & Wesson 620 .357 7 shot. I have no idea if it would work in a Ruger with the transfer bar system (I sold my SP101 so can't look) but I don't think it would.
Anyway, this will last forever and doesn't cost a thing (if you know someone who ear tags their cows/calves) Dry fire practice (of which I do quite a bit) is quiet and not having constant banging of metal against metal can't be a bad thing.
I dry fire my GP 100 without snap caps all the time. The manual states that dryi firing is OK, makes no mention of snap caps, and I have never heard or read about anyone damaging one of these guns by not using a snap cap. That said, if they make you feel better, they certainly can't hurt.
