My savage breaks at 3 pounds 2 ounces and seems just about perfect, but then again i have the most trigger time on it so probably just grew used to that. I hate little guns like the kel tec, i have a large hand (large glove size) and cant fit a p3at or lcp or such n it, they feel rediculous.

If my cheap FM90 can take dry fire, your 4506 can handle it. I have a 645 and its fine with it.

Where have you seen them for 3.99? Were they some no name brand or one of the 2 packs for a rifle/shotgun caliber? About everywhere I look for pistol caliber Snap Caps they want around 15 bucks. I can never rationalize buying them though because for that price I can buy a box of real 9mm ammo and dinner. My friends have them though and enjoy using them, and if I could get a lot of cheap dummy rounds to practice loading and ejecting, I would but my brain won't allow me to buy them at that price, especially when I subscribe to the idea that they are not necessary for safe dry fire, and consider that they wear out over time too, and pretty quickly from what I can tell.
And I wouldn't jump to the conclusion that you can handle DA triggers better in a Weaver stance after trying it one time. A few times maybe, but not once. I did a decent grouping with my 1911 at 10 yards with one hand a few years ago, and I assumed I could shoot better with one hand than with two. Since then I' haven't been able to produce a decent one handed group with anything, even guns easier to shoot than my 1911, so I've pretty much dismissed that idea. I also think that 4.5 pounds is about perfect for me too at this point since I've shot nothing but 5+pound triggers in my time, and the slight decrease in weight makes for a slightly more surprised break without a complete underestimation of when the trigger will go off. My buddy's Jericho is worn down to perhaps 4 pounds or less judging by my other buddies SIG (which shoots the best of anything I've shot save for my Hi-Power) and I've found I break long before I think I'm going to when shooting it, and it messes my rhythm up. The real point is that it's all relative to what one is accustomed too, granted I think some trigger types, or perhaps triggers specific to a certain gun are easier to master than others, but everything is somehow mastered I'm sure.

If snap caps aren't within one's personal budget, use spent shells (they can take about 50 or so hits before the primer is too dented to do anything) or make a couple dummy rounds using a bullet puller or impact remover hammer (you fit the bullet inside it, smack it on a hard surface, and the inertia pulls the bullet head without setting off the round), dump the powder, fire the primer off, and reinsert the bullet head with a vice and some super-glue. If snap caps and store bought dummy rounds are so expensive today, making use of regular ammo probably wouldn't hurt.

Didn't realize they were that cheap at KTP, my LGS has 5 round packs of .45 snap caps for $17. He is expensive though with everything but a really nice guy. Do you know if KTP has reloading manuals? I plan on swinging by there soon to get some shotgun reloading stuff.
