When using the 1075 plus percussion cap I have found that they do not fire on the first revolution of the cylinder on my uberti 1858 remington and pietta 1860 colt On the second strike they fire. Am currently sanding down the taper so that the caps fit. The nipples themselfs are well made but please do not advertise that they fit 1075. This may be due of course to variations in cap production. Have tried various methods to seat the caps but the only way forwards in my situation is to reduce the outside diameter of the nipple by .008 thousands. Will I buy slixspring again? they work excellently in stopping cylinder jams just can't give 5 gold stars.

Response from SliXprings:Thank you for your feedback, Jeff. We’re sorry you’re experiencing this issue.

RWS 1075 Plus caps are compatible with SliXshot nipples and are the caps we regularly use ourselves. Many of our customers also use this combination successfully. If there were an inherent compatibility problem between SliXshot nipples and RWS 1075 Plus caps, we would expect to receive a significant number of similar complaints. That has not been our experience.

When a cap fires on the second hammer strike, it commonly indicates that the first strike is seating the cap farther onto the nipple rather than igniting it. The cap must be pressed firmly and completely onto the nipple before firing. A lightened or weakened hammer spring can also cause this behavior by not providing sufficient force for reliable ignition.

Some variation between cap production lots is possible, but the caps should fit without requiring the nipple taper to be reduced. We recommend checking cap seating and hammer-spring tension before removing material from the nipples. Reducing the diameter by .008" is a substantial alteration that could result in loose-fitting caps or affect their retention.

Please contact us directly if you would like help troubleshooting the fit. We stand behind our SliXshot nipples and want to help you achieve the same reliable first-strike ignition we and our other customers experience with RWS 1075 Plus caps.

Very well made, I have a 1851 and a 1858 and these nipples work flawlessly. Very happy with them

Reply from SliXprings:Thank you Dennis for the review. Glad to hear you are happy with them

Every time I get a new percussion revolver. I just automatically order slixpring cones. They really fit number 10 caps very well. Also, the SLIXPRING nipple wrench is a solid wrench. I have two , love them both.

These work great. Best ones I've found. I will bee using these on all of my percussion guns.

These are brand new guns. I bought your products because of your reputation. Right now in Vegas it is 100+°. I will shoot when it cools down a bit. I want to shoot the original nipples to see how they do,for laughs! YOUR nipples have anti seize on them and the first hiccup I will install them. I will keep you posted.

Great edition to my Uberti 1860 army BP revolver! All but eliminated cap jams and cap sucking! Great product,thank you!

10/10 highly recommend.

They are perfect. Soon all my revolvers will be getting a set.

The only disappointment is that you don't offer musket nipples!

You make a wonderful product.

“Great nipples” a phrase that might get you slapped in most settings, a new friend for the evening in palm beach on spring break, or really happy shooters in this case. These nipples solved several problems I was having. Variously misfires requiring second strike, having to pinch caps to keep em on and cap jams on pocket pistols. As I post this, I’m also ordering on other set for pocket police .36 cal. They’re that good !!

Zero misfires so far, whereas my original Uberti nipples were terrible with the Remington #10

A great product. I have them installed on all my percussion revolvers.

Best ever, they're all I run. Insist on the best

I have installed slix nipples on all my cap and ball pistols
And will continue to. In my opinion there is no finer product

I bought a used pietta 1858 remington and 3 of the nipples were out of spec. Winchester #11 caps would not fit on them. I decided to upgrade to a whole set of slix shot nipples. Now the caps are all have a very secure snug fit and won't fall off, even if the revolver is pointed straight up. Highly recommend.

Have not had a chance to shoot yet, I have been busy with Cowboy fastdrew compition

Good fit up. Have not had a cap jam since installing on my black powder pietta. Very satisfied.

They made a fantastic impression. They are not just technically well-engineered—they were crafted with love. They stand out remarkably from the factory-made versions.

Great product
Great service
Great shipping
I have 4 sets and will purchase more

These were put on a Uberti 1860 Army. Fired an N-SSA revolver match with no cap jams. Easy to clean.

I have only had the chance to use these nipples once. The Remington #10 cap fit perfectly, had no incident with caps coming off and falling into the action. I was please with the performance. But, more impressive was their customer service. The post office swore delivery but I never got them until ten days after said delivery date. Meanwhile, I was promptly sent a replacement package. Thank you Slix shot

They Worked like a charm, will be ordering some more soon

still have the nipples rub the back strap of the revolver, (Pietta)

Thank you for your feedback. Manufacturing tolerances can vary among Pietta revolvers, and a small percentage may have tighter-than-normal clearance. Please contact us so we can confirm your revolver model and determine whether our shorter nipples would provide the proper fit.

really the best you can get.

The caps don't seem to fall off these like they did with the original nipples. Refitted my second revolver and very happy with the results again.

No more cap jams and all the nipples fit tight
