Have a uberti leech and rigdon that had some issues with cap jams. As some may be aware reproductions are not built the same as originals, the problems lie in the geometry of the parts itself particularly the nipples as well as the hammer face. Slixshot nipples drastically improved the performance along with some minor rework of the hammer face!

Now I know why so many people rave about them.
Worked so much better both on my 1851 Colt and my 1858 Remington. Excellent upgrade.
Thanks for another great product.

Caps don't fragment and stay out of the action. They do open up but not like regular nipples that shread the caps. The insides of the colt style revolvers stay lots cleaner . I regularly shoot 100 round balls through uberti 1861 25 gr pyrodex p. The insides of the gun look like I've shot around 25 ~30 rounds. I ordered another set for my other 1861 because of how much cleaner the inside stayed.

I have 2 that the caps are a little loose

I like how well they thread into my 1858 as opposed to the factory nipples.

By replacing the stock nipples on a percussion revolver with SlixShot nipples is a great way to improve the function and reliability. They will give reliable ignition and greatly reduce or even eliminate cap jams. I have installed them on all of my black power percussion revolvers. I’m very happy I did. 😃👍

These are excellent nipples for a black powder revolver.

I purchased the Slixprings nipples and the Slixprings nipple wrench for my 1858 CP revolver and both worked flawlessly. I have had a difficult time finding percussion caps so after 30 days I have yet to be able to fire it to give an account. Happy so far.

Its December out, so I haven't had a chance to shoot using these new nipples, but they look good, and fit great. If the work as well as the Slix wrench, I will be ecstatic.

I have SliX Shot nipples on all four of my black powder revolvers and they work excellent for reducing “cap jams” and I can now use #11 percussion caps that are easier to find. Replacing the stock nipples (cones) on a black powder revolver is the best and first thing I do to mine. These are the best working cones made, if you ask me. The customer service is excellent too! I'm very highly satisfied with SliX Shot nipples! 😊👍

These nipples are the best for Blackpowder revolvers

Much better than the cheaper cones that come stock on the Italian reproductions. I prefer to standardize where I can, having cones that fit #11 caps reliably is part of that standardization. I will be buying more.

Very happy with all of the Slixshot nipples I recently purchased.

Not perfect but improved cap failure if I'm able to get #10 caps hopefully even better using #11 now.

Well machined quality part. Be sure to use grease on threads installing any threaded blackpowder nipple.

I wanted nipples that use #11 caps & Slixprings fixed me right up!

I purchased two sets for my 1860s and was very pleased with the improvement of ignition. A fellow shooter raved of his experience and I followed his lead. My experience was like his ,a big success!
the slixprings "SS" nipples perform much better than the stock OEM nipples. I recommend you upgrade your cylinder today and experience the joy of positive ignition every time you pull your trigger.

I have a number of black powder revolvers that I shoot regularly. I have put SlixShot nipples on all of them because they work much better than the factory nipples, which have a tendency to not hold the primers well and cause action jams. I highly recommend these nipples.

Great product. Enhances reliability of cap and ball revolvers.

Highly recommend.

Great product helps eliminate cap jams and also helps to insure ignition of the powder. Fits right works great.

Amazing company and quality product had them on my Uberti 1861 navy, amazing all the treads lined up perfectly. Shot bout 200 round with them and they work amazing, can't wait to get more for my other Revolvers.

Way better than the factory nipples. Caps fit better

Run them on anything I can. Never had a single issue with them.

The nipples are well made. Threads are very crisp and the nipples fit #11 caps with a little *click* that's very satisfying.

Worked like a dream on inert 1851 and an 1861. Also the stainless makes the much easier to see the carbon for cleaning.
