Thread: Looking for Starting Pistol Caps or an alternative

So I use a starting pistol using old fashioned caps when training my pointers.
Apparently these caps are no longer available.
Any suggestions or know where I find a replacement that uses even primers, heaven forbid.

Its just so much easier than using a shotgun and risking having Joe Public get all funny and the Plods turning up.

Are they the flobert type like short .22 rimfire brass crimped ?

no these Jex ones look like super sized cap gun caps (assuming you are old enough to remember)

Googled them and a bunch of online places sell them

which is why I was hoping someone had seen some "old stock" in an actual shop somewhere

spotify sound effects and a bluetooth speaker and crank it.. you will get a few eyebrows raised down the local park

I've got some .22 short blanks looking for a home...
