The best for reliable ignition
rodney pevytoe - 08/02/2024
Shooting frontiersman for SASS there is nothing more frustrating that a failure of the cap or having it go off only to fall into the action of a pistol.
These nipples are well machined and are we know for their reliability. I have them on all of my cap and ball pistols.
Replaced original

Perfect. The original nipples were just okay. Now, using CCI #11 percussion caps, the fit is much better. Caps would occasionally fall off the original ones. The SliXshot is a perfect fit. Very happy.

The right nipples
Cole - 07/29/2024
Finally some nipples that work very well and don’t allow spent caps to get lodged under the hammer or wedged between the cylinder and frame i absolutely love them
Excellent product & Service

Great product, fast shipping.
These percussion cones/nipples make the percussion revolver very reliable.
10 stars.

Great product! ZERO cap jams on both revolvers since using these nipples. Tight tolerances make for consistant function. Thanks Patrick for your attention to my questions!

They work perfectly
Great Products
Nick Phongsa - 07/28/2024
This is the 2nd set of nipples I have ordered from Slixshot and there is no regret here at all. Works great with #11 and my homemade caps. The nipple wrench and loading handle also makes loading smaller revolvers a dream. Thank you. Will be ordering another set for my reproduction 1851 soon.

Slixprings nipples work much better than factory nipples.I put them on all my black powder revolvers.Big improvement.
Tremendous upgrade in performance

Top notch upgrade
EHawk - 07/16/2024
I have these installed on all my percussion revolvers (all Colt replicas). Ignition reliability is 100% (even with combustible paper cartridges) as long as I do my part to make sure the cap itself goes off. (With RWS 1075s, one must seat them quite firmly.) Cap jams are much reduced as well. The only drawback I can see to these is their shiny appearance. But after a long day of shooting, I just clean them with hot water and don’t polish them, and they are nicely dulled to look more like the originals.
Great

Slickery Magic
BPierce - 07/04/2024
Purchased a set of slix-shot cones for my Ruger old army.
I make my own percussion caps due to the "shortage" and was having trouble igniting triple seven powder in paper cartridges. These nipples were just what was needed. There is a noticeable difference just firing caps on empty chambers, a lot more fire is shot into the bore.
These new nipples are vented to help clear caps after firing but I cannot comment on their effectiveness as I have only used my thin home made caps.

Overall I am very impressed. Shipping was quick, machining is impeccable and the finish matches my cylinder perfectly. This has brought my pistols reliability up to 100% and made for a much more enjoyable shoot.


ThanX SlixPrings

Nipples for .36 Navy
Mike Nesbitt - 06/25/2024
Slixprings was very helpful in getting the proper sized nipples for my Uberti .36. And while shooting with those new nipples, the fired caps under the hammer problem has disappeared. To say the least, I'm very pleased.
GREAT IMPROVEMENT

NO MORE JAMS AND NO MORE MISFIERS IF YOU DON'T HAVE 'EM GET 'EM.

I am very pleased with these nipples.They have solved my cap jamming issues on my 1860 Army. I appreciate the help of Patrick getting the right nipples for my pistol.
A must have for C&B pistols
David P. - 06/22/2024
Slixprings nipples truly fit Remington #10 and CCI #11 caps. No more “pinching”, “blowoffs” or cap jams.
Great product

Jim Soltis - 06/19/2024
I replaced all the cones in both of my 1858 Remington revolvers. They hold the #11 caps before and after shooting.
No more cap jams!!
Love these things!
Ron - 06/18/2024
I wouldn’t say zero cap jams but a lot fewer of them. Just overall better performance with the Slixshot nipples.
