I purchased 3 sets of SliXshot Black Powder Nipples. A set for my 1861 Colt Navy .36 cal and sets for my Remington 1858 New Army .44's. They work well with CCI # 11 percussion caps. So far i have had no cylinder jams I am pleased with the product

Have many..work great..

Made of stainless steel with a vent that keeps the nipples from falling off and jamming the action.

Easy to install. Shot about 50 rnds in one session. Absolutely no cap jams. Caps (rws 1075) seemed to fly away with every hammer cock. 1 out of 50 did not fly away, but didn't cause a jam either. I say they work as advertised. 1858 rem.

I've had the occasion where these fine products (1st review) were a necessity to aid in greater functionality for various Uberti and Pietta products.
The Slix wrench, Slix hand, Slix scraper and more than a dozen sets of nipples have all been perfectly manufactured to standards that not only impress but function flawlessly as well. I can recommend with the highest praise Slixprings and the various upgrades they offer for your needs. Buy with confidence you will be thrilled at your fine taste and choice in these products. I can attest to my own satisfaction. Join me in supporting Slixprings. Kudos to you Patrick Reagan for owning such a well-established and respected black powder shooters community go to products store front. Sorry I waited so long to review I had to be certain. You are appreciated. kind regards

Easy to install and no hang ups from spent caps jamming up the cylinder. The two small holes on each side allow gas to escape through them loosing the caps so that when you pull the hammer back spent caps usually fall out easily. I use #11 caps. Haven't found #10 anywhere. #11 works perfectly, sit tight. Also like the larger chamber in the slixprings,better for the caps to ignite powder. Easier to clean. I bought the Slixprings wrench with the nipples. I'm glad I did, not only made very well with good steel it works great getting orginal nipples off from my Pietta New Army 44cal. I installed the Slixprings on my Uberti 44cal Dragoon 3rd gen

Guaranteed to work as advertised. Worth the money.

These nipples do the job. Caps after shooting fall clear of the revolver

These worked perfectly to replace the factory #10 nipples on my revolver. Will definitely be purchasing more.

These nipples are much better than the original ones that came with my new Uberti revolver. Well worth the additional investment.

Work as advertised - No regrets!

Colt walkers can have quite a bit of blowback, but the excellent design of these tubes really reduces the pressure on the spent cap. Combined with a suitably polished hammer face, these tubes greatly reduce cap jams. I have them on both my [BC] Uberti Walkers.

Excellent workmanship and quality

works like a charm

First time I saw these I knew they would work for me just fine and they did.

This is the second time I ordered this product. They worked so well on the first installation that I had to have them for the second. They are made very well and worked exactly as designed and described!

Fast shipping and good quality

Do yourself a favor and put these on your revolver. They fit caps like a glove,easy to clean to look like new,and of course,nearly eliminate cap jams. I'm sold on these.

I have used these in the past and the Slixprings nipples I bought for my Uberti 1861 work perfectly. I used #11 CCI Magnum caps and had no cap jams at all.

The factory nipples of my Uberti 1858 Remington worked fine with #10 caps. Except for the occasional cap loss after firing with the cap of course falling on the hammer. #11 caps were too loose to be useful at all.

The SliXshot nipples are slightly larger in diameter at the rear and with less body taper. Both #10 and #11 caps fit snuggly. Fired caps do occasionally fall off the nipple but not until the cylinder is being rotated. Meaning the offending cap slides down off the side of the firearm and not into the action. Causing no problems.

Black powder, percussion caps, and loading levers are obsolete for a reason. We shoot these firearms for nostalgia, the boom, and the white smoke. I have a modern semiauto handgun with well over 10,000 rounds through it without a hiccup. Even with SliXshot nipples, you have to expect a hitch now and then with these period pieces.

I have four sets of SliXshot now and just ordered a fifth. I use them in two 1851 Navy, a 1858 Remington, an extra cylinder and ordered for a 1860 Army. They work perfectly. I’ve had no cap jams.

I got a pack for my Pietta Lemat and they work great. The shotgun barrel still doesn't like going off, but it was like that to begin with, so I think its a design fault. These also work perfectly with the Prime All #11 caps you can make yourself. I am very happy with everything about this product.

They prevent caps from falling in the lock work. Everyone needs these!

So far I have purchased nipples for a pieta made colt army snub nose revolver, a pieta made army and a uberti made colt walker in every case the slixpring nipples are order of magnitudes better than what came with the pistols. I would guess they have lessened cap reason failure to fires by 50 to 60 % better. I believe they are well worth the purchase.

Make shooting my 44 a lot easer. Great product and great service
