    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.

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