.32 S&W Blanks?

gtodave · May 27, 2020

Midway has a box of 50 of these for $1.04 PER ROUND! Anyone know where I can get them cheaper? Seems outrageous to pay that much for blanks.

I was given a .32 blank pistol so's I can train my dog. She's been expensive enough so far, but I can't justify $1+ per "pop" each time I throw her a bumper.

Since blank guns are no longer used to start sports events about the only use for them now is dog training and that isn't enough to get ammo makers to do large production runs of them and that in turn drives down to price , I'd say they are borderline obsolete and then they'll just get dropped , So stock up

I found Winchester BP rounds for $0.70 on Ammo To Go, but that still seems silly high.

I just watched a video how to do this...all I'd need is brass, primers, powder, a primer loader, and a plug, correct? If so, I could do 100 for about $100 initial cost.

EDIT: And I'd need a measuring device for the powder

I've heard of people priming 38 special cases and shooting wax bullets out of them in their basements with no powder. Maybe just the primer would be loud enough? If you need powder one of those little Lee powder dippers would be perfect.

For 32 blanks.

I think I'm going to try the primer-only thing to see if that is enough. It should be fairly loud (I've set off rifle primers in the past, and have been surprised). If that works, it will be easy enough. And for $100, I'll be able to have 1,000 pops.

No. Get a 22 and shoot Bird shot. No danger after a short range and still kind of loud.

I’ve trained all my dogs, too not be gun shy. I’ve always started out with a .22 rifle shooting CB caps 1st.

Have someone hold your dog on a leash, go about 100 yards away and fire a few rounds. If the dog is not scared, move 20 yards closer and Repeat. Before long, you’ll be shooting, while standing beside your dog. Once you do that, then repeat all this again using .22LR ammo. Keep the shooting sections short

The next day or 2 start with the .22lr ammo from 100 yards, moving closer. If you are able to stand by the dog and shoot without it being scared, then I like to move to louder guns.

I kinda go like this as far a noises go.
22 CB caps
22lr ammo
410 shotgun.
22 handgun
20 or 12 gauge
Centerfire rifle

The empty brass with a primer makes for an awesome blank! It is loud enough to get the job done, and cheap and easy enough to reload.
