Description Not Accurate
It is "NOT" spring loaded as listed in the description. It appears to be solid aluminum. When I dried fired one in my Ruger 22/45 the firing pin left a noticeable dent in it that one would see in a fired 22 rimfire case. We will see how it holds up with repeated dry fires. I am disappointed that Brownells blindly copied what the maker listed on the package without checking them.
