Replaced the Nipples on 1858 Remington NMA
Paul L - 04/20/2026
I replaced the original nipples on my Pietta 1858 NMA with Slix Shots BP nipples due to original nipples kept dropping caps (CCI & Remington). I have the same problem with an Uberti 1858 NMA. The new nipples stopped the dropped caps. I intend to replace the nipples on my Uberti next.
Must have upgrade

These solve cap fitment and jams. CCI #11 fit perfectly and no cap has fallen under the hammer or into the action, caps may get stuck behind cylinder on some guns without relief cut. Reliable ignition every time.
A Must Have

These nipples are a must for shooting Colt style reproductions to prevent cap jams. I am also pleased to report these nipples will fit the Colt Blackpowder Signature Series guns.
Really nice nipples
Rudolph & Bronte - 04/17/2026
I highly recommend these nipples well worth the price when reliability is important. Highly recommend.
The only upgrade you need

No more jams with the spent caps falling into the works.
Better than Uberti!!
Rich - 04/14/2026
Great product. 3 of my cylinders on a Dragoon were unusable due to factory inconsistency with the nipples. Slixshot fixed that right up. Now I can load and shoot all 6 cylinders.
much better consistency when firing

i was having problems with fouling of my stock nipples in a Pietta BP handgun. these nipp;es resolved the problem. snd they hold the caps on better. don"t need to pinch them to keep them from falling off now
Beautiful machining

I have only installed them in five of my guns. Weather has kept me from being out shooting. I have another set for my sixth gun but have not installed them yet as the gun is loaded. One of my guns has a very weak hammer spring. Even with the Slix nipples, I may have to add a second spring. It's a beautiful 1861 Colt navy. Like Brent Wheat says, "There is only one letter between gun and fun."
Great

I Recommend them to other shooters.
The best percussion nipple bar none!

The SliXshot replacement black powder percussion nipples are simply the finest made by any company any where. They greatly reduce "cap sucking" and are darn near indestructible!
Great product

Allows me to use a variety of caps and the caps now come off in a predictable pattern

I bought a six count order of these black powder nipples for my Uberti 1060 navy. Prior to replacing them I was having horrible cap jam issues. Very much happy with my purchase!.
0 Cap Jams

I have put these on every one of my Percussion revolvers. They fit great with CCI No. 11 Cap, since using them I have experienced no cap jams.

Great product will buy again, fires better than with the originals. Caps dont stick as much. Bought the wrench also and you can't wrong buying that it is robust and strong. Shipping was fast and easy to order. Thank you
Slixshot BP nipples
likemhot - 03/09/2026
This is the second set I have purchased for a separate BP revolver. Yes I would by these again. Work flawlessly and have removed 95% of the cap jams
Works superb

Massive improvement on cap jams
Great Product
Ross - 03/05/2026
I have been using SliXshot nipples for years. They are a perfect fit, hold caps more tightly, and reduce cap jams to almost none. I have them on eight percussion revolvers, both .36 and .44. Plus the company’s service is great. The post office recently lost an insured order. Patrick Reagan responded promptly to my inquiry and sent me another set. Buy this product, use it as intended, and you won’t be disappointed!
Pietta 1860 slix shot percussion cap nipples
Alan Salazar - 03/05/2026
The set of 6 percussion cap nipples appears to be solidly built. I haven't tried them yet but they do fit the 1075 RWS plus caps just fine and without falling off. I'll update my review to see if I notice a difference in the amount of misfires I had with the stock percussion cap nipples.

Visual inspection
The inside and outside diameter is slightly larger when compared to the stock ones. On the other side there's also a bigger hole bored out compared to the stock ones. I'll have to test them out but they look great and fit on the revolver without issue.

Bonedog - 03/04/2026
These black powder nipples have provided me with 100% ignition of my loads when new caps are used. I highly recommend these nipples. Shipping is fast and tracking is provided.

Really made a difference charge fires everytime with these musch better than the stock ones. The caps come off much easier also. Replaced them in my old Army Ruger and my 1851 Pietta. I would purchase again.
Great product
Cole - 03/02/2026
I have more than 2 dozen sets of these nipples on all my BP revolvers. They do an excellent job of keeping the dreaded cap jams to an absolute minimum. I’ve shot many monthly matches and two day matches with them. Get them and you won’t regret it.
Shot my Pietta today

The nipples work great so far.7 cylinders shot and no issue's.
Seems to be a big improvement
Chris b - 03/01/2026
Got this for my uberti 1858 new army I've only fired about 20ish caps through this but I definitely had less cap jams and miss fire than with the standard uberti ones.
