Condemning snap caps because of the potential to mistake a live round for a snap cap makes about as much sense as a previous post on this forum that condemned hand detachable locks because of the potential to remove the locks & misplace them.
In the case of the snap caps, when dropping the hammer on a snap cap or on an empty chamber in all circumstances the gun must be pointed in a safe direction. I do think it is desirable for snap caps to look distinctively different from live rounds & most that I have seen do.
I don't want to be harsh but both cases, if a person is that clueless & unobservant perhaps the time has come to stop handling firearms & other potentially dangerous things.
