So I know the problem was the person pulling the trigger and not the P250. It is a very smooth trigger, and I hope to get some more time shooting the gun soon.

However, I feel the $15 is cheap insurance and peace of mind. And in my case I use the snap caps in different guns so the cost is spread out so to speak.

They will be very useful for dry firing practice, as well as going through the motions of loading/unloading the gun safely. Especially when working with someone new to handguns (which would be me, as well as my wife). Thanks for the suggestion dosborn81.

That is some reallygood practice. It could be something that would happen in real life and knowing how to fix that problem quickly could be life or death.
