will it damage the pistol if one is not used?

Depends on who you ask. My understanding is that it will not hurt your centerfire pistols. You wouldn't want to do it with a rimfire, however, to avoid breaking the firing pin.
Most modern pistol designs do not require snap caps. However, there are some that you really should use them.

I agree with Sixto...most modern guns dont need them, but on the other hand they wil never hurt anything.

Clance,
Your Springer should be good to go without a snap-cap.

SIXTO is 100% right on this topic.

I was under the impression that most (if not all) striker fired pistols do not need snap caps. Heck, a lot of guns require you to dry fire just to break them down (mine included).

Lotus, that is true, never thought about that. the trigger on my glock has got to be depressed to breakdown.

Yep, don't need 'em but they make great training aids. Have your shooting partner load a mag or two for you and 'hide' a few snap caps in with the live ammo. They can help you see if your trigger pull needs any help and with simulating a malfunction/clearing.
Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid.
