PRODUCT QUESTIONS Back to Top
What size of caps work best with Slixshot Nipples?
We recommend the following:
Remington #10
CCI #11
Winchester #11
RWS #1075
Can I get these nipples in #11?
Our nipples come in one size with the recommened use of caps listed above.
Will I have to pinch the caps to keep them on the nipple?
No... as long as you use the recommended caps
What is the purpose of the side vents on the nipples?
This relieves back pressure after the cap is fired to help prevent it from blowing back into the hammer and dropping down in the action. It also enables the spent cap to come off the nipple easier after use.
Are the Slixshot nipples different between a .36 caliber and a .44 caliber revolver?
No... they are not caliber specific.
Is there a difference in nipples between an 1851 or an 1860 model?
No...
Will your Nipples (cones) fit an Armi San Marco (ASM) or an Armi San Paolo (ASP)?
Yes... Most of them used standard SAE 12-28 threads. If that is your case then you'll want the "Uberti" version of our nipples.
I have an original Colt. What nipples do I need?
Original Colts used SAE threads so you'll want the "Uberti" version of our nipples.
I don't know what thread is on my revolvers nipples. How do I determine that?
The easiest way is to remove one and take it to your local hardware store and see what size nut threads on to it.
12-28 nut = "Uberti" Slixshot nipple
6mm x .75mm nut = "Pietta" Slixshot nipple
I have a newer reproduction black powder revolver. What nipples do I need?
If it is a Pietta model then order the Pietta nipples
If it is a Uberti model then order the Uberti nipples
I bought a set of nipples for an older Uberti 1861 and they are too long. Do you have any that are shorter?
Yes... We have found that some older BP revolvers used shorter nipples. If that is the case then please contact us if what you ordered won't work and we'll exchange them for the shorter ones. These are actually the Pocket Revolver Nipples. Please note that there is no way for us to know this before you order.
Will your nipples work on a snub nose Sheriff's model?
Yes...
Will your nipples (cones) work on a Uberti 1873 Cattleman?
Yes...
Will your nipples (cones) fit my Pietta 1851 Navy Spiller and Burr Revolver?
Yes...
Do you have nipples (cones) that fit pocket revolvers?
Yes... you can find them here.
