I was having some issues with the percussion caps on my Pietta 1851 Navy revolver. The Slixshot nipples solved my issues. They are a five star product!

Work better that the ones that came with the pistol, but still do have some hang-ups when fired. I believe that may be b/c the nipples are #11’s. Size #10’s would probably be better, but can not find them to purchase.

Reply from Slixprings:

The recommended caps to use with our nipples is clearly stated on the website product page in the Description box and on the product packaging the nipples are shipped in. We also have this listed on the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page. If using the recommended caps most of the “hang-ups” will not happen or at least be drastically reduced.

These nipples eliminate most cap sucking problems

Very good quality.
I bought six to try them out.
I will be buying more.

Put these on 51 Navy's and they work fantastic. #11 caps

These black powder nipples are genius, after using them on my 1860 Pietta I now put them on all my black powder revolvers. When I buy a black powder revolver, I automatically buy the sliXshot nipples to replace the original ones.

So far, two cylinders and not one hangfire or misfire.

The nippples fit well on the Pietta 1858 Remington 44 cal.

I always had problems with factory nipples, especially caps coming off, these Slix nipples made a big difference. Glad I got them for my 1861 Army and 1858 Army revolvers

Fast shipping, great product, what more can you ask for?

These SliXshot nipples work great! You won’t be disappointed in them.

I have a Uberti 1851 Navy. I hadn't fired it in many years. When I did take it out of the safe, I found a couple of issues. After learning about it and taking it apart, I found that the spring was broken on the hand assembly and a spent cap was stuck in the action. I put in a new hand assembly and installed these nipples. I am very satisfied with their performance.

I have 9 guns and they are on all of em

Best nipples out there hands down

As to myself it's great to see a veteran owning his own business thank you for your service brother

Best I've found.

Working nice but better if a tad shorter.

I’ve replaced the factory nipples with SLIXshot nipples on all my guns. These nipples have all but prevented cap-jams. In addition, they improve ignition, which makes firing the black powder guns all the more fun and dependable. I highly recommend purchasing this great product!

Work like a charm.

Shooting black powder revolvers the caps seem to cause some interesting interferences. A friend mentioned that Slixshot nipples would help. So went online and ordered a set for the repro 1851 navy. They made a positive difference. Have purchase a set for all the repro revolvers. Would recommend.

These worked perfectly in my 1861 uberti. Great service and fast shipment

Must have for reliability

Replacement nipples for my pietta 44. fit perfect and worked well to relieve the cap jams. Fast shipment and good packing.

Immediately eliminated cap jams and misfires. Plus the caps fit more snugly. I simply love them!

Great product, I will not hesitate to keep ordering more as I acquire more black powder revolvers.. Quick shipping. Love these guys!!
