Slixshot BP nipples have proven to be an outstanding upgrade to my Remington 44. No more worries about finding #10 caps. These hold #11's securely and provide improved ignition.
I will be buying more.

For my 1858 New Model Army revolver, I wasn't totally impressed. Had a few hangfires vs. none with the factory nipples.

This can happen if the caps are not pressed firmly into place.

The order was prompt and ahead of schedule. Nipples went into my 1858 new Model cylinder easily. The # 10 caps fit tight with no lose during shooting. No miss-fires, nice product and will get more for my other black powder revolver black powder cylinder.

Put these on all my cap & ball revolvers both Uberti and Pietta. I’ve been using them for years. They effectively eliminate “cap jams”. Shot a clean two day 12 stage match with them.

great product good service

Very great products. This was my third purchase. I have four Italian reproduction cap n ball revolvers. All have these nipples on them.
My last order I mistakenly ordered the wrong ones. I realized my mistake when I got the order confirmation. I called right away and explained. They caught the order and corrected my error. Awesome customer service!!

Installed these on my Pietta 1851 Navy and they give excellent, jam free, function with RWS 1075 percussion caps.

They work great, better ignition.

I have purchased SlixShot nipples for both of my “cap and ball” revolvers and they work perfectly and really cut down on cap jams 99% of the time. I shot 10 cylinders (60 shots) with only one cap jam and that may have been my fault. I highly recommend them. I have also read reviews about their nipple wrenches and how great they are. Great company to do business with!! I’m very happy with everything! 👍😃

they work very good had no problems with them

I put off getting them while my shooting buddy kept telling me to get them. I did, now i have 4 sets for my 51 pietta 36, 4 cylinders, don't like to load at the range. Have not had a cap jam since.

Great service and great product. Love dealing with quality companies that care.

Top notch

Finally got to shoot without any misfires. Would recommend to everyone shooting black powder!

Overall reduced cap problems by about half. I still had a few rws caps stick and require gently prying to remove, but a definite improvement. I didn't ever have ignition problems before but these larger holes seemed to provide faster ignition of powder too. Stainless is a good improvement. Be sure to use a grease when installing to prevent sticking.

This is my 3rd set of black powder nipples. Fully pleased with the form, fit, and function. Work great with all #11 caps. No issue with caps falling off. No issues with ignition. Absolutely recommend these over stock pistol nipples!!

I can finally enjoy my walker.
No misfires in 50 shots.

The solution to the percussion camp shortage. Slixshot BP Nipples are designed to enhance the performance of percussion caps whether using #10 or #11s. I found them to reduce ignition failures on my 1858 Remington New Army revolver by over 50%. I'll be replacing all of my original equipment with Slixshot nipples in the near future.

Great Product from a veteran owned business

I recently purchased a set of SliXshot Nipples for my Uberti Colt Walker & Dragoon and my Pietta 1860 Army revolvers.

I have only fired the Dragoon using these nipples and I have about 48 rounds through it. I encountered no problems with these nipples and am already considering buying another set of nipples so I do not have to rotate them between the Dragoon and the Colt Walker.

Only the expense will prohibit me from switching over to all my other Pietta black powder revolvers.

L.V.O.

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.

The caps recommended for use with our nipples are clearly identified in the description on the product page, on the product packaging, and on our Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page. Using the recommended caps will prevent most hang-ups or, at minimum, significantly reduce them.

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
