Which Percussion Caps Work Best with SliXshot Black Powder Nipples?

For best ignition reliability, we recommend using the following standard percussion caps with SliXshot Black Powder Nipples:

• Remington #10
• CCI #11
• Winchester #11
• RWS 1075

Do You Offer #11 SliXshot Nipples?

No. SliXshot nipples use a single optimized design engineered to work with the recommended percussion caps listed above. There is no separate “#10” or “#11” nipple version.

Do I Need to Pinch Percussion Caps?

No. When using the recommended caps, pinching is generally not required. Properly fitted caps should seat securely and ignite consistently.

What Is the Purpose of the Side Vents on SliXshot Nipples?

The side vent design helps relieve pressure during ignition, reducing backflow into the hammer channel. This improves reliability and helps spent caps release more easily after firing.

Are SliXshot Nipples Different for .36 and .44 Caliber Revolvers?

No. SliXshot nipples are not caliber-specific. Fitment is determined by thread size rather than caliber.

Is There a Difference Between 1851 and 1860 Model Nipples?

No. Model designation does not determine nipple fit. Thread size and manufacturer are the determining factors.

Do SliXshot Nipples Fit Armi San Marco (ASM) or Armi San Paolo (ASP) Revolvers?

Yes. SliXshot nipples are available for ASM and ASP revolvers. Select the correct option on the product page when ordering.

How Do I Identify My Revolver Thread Size?

If you are unsure of your thread size, remove one factory nipple and test it with a standard nut at a hardware store.

My Older Uberti Revolver Uses Shorter Nipples. What Should I Do?

Will SliXshot Nipples Fit Sheriff's Models?

Yes. They are compatible with Sheriff's models when the correct thread size is selected.

Will SliXshot Nipples Fit Uberti 1873 Cattleman Revolvers?

Yes. They are compatible when the correct thread option is selected.

Will SliXshot Nipples Fit Pietta 1851 Navy Spiller & Burr Revolvers?
