Every time you drop the hammer on a dummy round, your firing pin is striking something. What it strikes matters. If the primer pocket is hollow, that pin is traveling farther than it was designed to and slamming into nothing. If the polymer is too hard, the pin takes the abuse. Too soft and it punches straight through after a few dozen reps.
Multiply that by a few hundred dry fire reps a week, and cheap training ammo stops being cheap.
We got tired of the junk on the market, so we built our own. It took testing more than twenty different polymer mixes to land on the right density. Not too hard, not too soft. Your firing pin needs something to hit, and that something has to survive the hit without wrecking your gun.
What Ready Up Gear Dummy Rounds Are Not
Not 3D printed rounds that crumble after light use. Not machined aluminum that leaves metal shavings inside your gun. Not a hollow primer pocket that lets your firing pin overtravel. Not a plug or insert that can break off and stay behind. And not one generic color for every caliber, which is how mixed brass ends up in the wrong magazine.
What They Actually Are
Brand new real brass with a filled primer cup, an optimized feeding shape so they cycle instead of jamming, high visibility polymer, and caliber specific colors so a 9mm never gets confused for a .40 in the bottom of your range bag. Made in the USA, and in service with agencies including Customs and Border Protection, the Coast Guard, DHS, the Air Force, and the DEA, plus state and local departments all over the country.
What You Do With Them
Dry fire practice, with some weight in the magazine instead of an empty gun. Malfunction drills, where you load a dummy round randomly into a magazine and force yourself to clear a stoppage you did not see coming. Loading and unloading practice with a new shooter. Function checks. Teaching a spouse or a kid without a single live round in the room.
Available in .380 Auto, 38 Special, 9mm, .40, .45, and 5.56 NATO. If you teach, there is also an instructor kit that covers the common handgun calibers in one box. Guardian Nation members get their discount automatically at checkout.
Train well,

P.S. The single best use for these is to have someone else load your magazine and slip a dummy round in at a random spot, then run your drill. You will find out very quickly whether your malfunction clearance is a trained response or a hopeful one. Grab a pack here.
