Works as advertised

I have these in all of my Old Army and Pietta Remington cylinders. Truly worth the price. I never have a problem with spent caps falling into the action.

The Best Nipple to Use
Michael Earl Lowe - 09/12/2023
Aces all the way. The first thing I do for a new (or used) percussion revolver.
Eliminates 95% of cap related jams. You won't be sorry.

Slixshot nipples for uberti revolvers
Rkruf - 09/09/2023
I purchased these for a Uberti new army Remington perfect fit and function would recommend to anyone. I have them on a Uberti 51 navy also and they have eliminated cap sucking entirely. Money well spent.

Outstanding Product

Each time I purchase a black powder firearm the first thing I do is clean and inspect and Install SlixShot's. After finding this product I don't know what cap jams are.

Also check out the Slix Hand.
Good stuff

These solved my cap malfunctions
Works great on Pietta 1851

I could not find #10 Remington caps anywhere. #11 CCI, no problem. I was crimping caps which wasn’t a great idea. Changed nipples to SliXShot and now I can use #11s without issue. And the caps stay in place after firing. No more digging caps out of the hammer or the action.

They work great to replace the factory nipples on C&B revolvers.

I replaced the factory nipples on my 1860 Colt 44 due to the caps getting stuck in the action and rendering the gun unusable until cleared manually. I have fired over 50 shots with the SliXshot nipples with zero issues. These are fantastic!
Great upgrade

Nice upgrade for my Uberti and Pietta guns
These are awesome nipples
Bob Talbot - 08/29/2023
I replaced the nipples on my 1851 Colt Navy. They made the CCI #11 caps that I have work so much better. Their wrench is awesome too.
No percussion caps fell off
Ed Wied - 08/29/2023
First 6 shots using a Uberti 1858 Remington style revolver with Slixshot nipples and #10 caps failed to fire. Maybe operator error in seating caps. Tried again without changing anything and all six rounds fired. No caps dropped off to jam the hammer or to prevent firing when the cylinder came around which I have experienced using factory nipples. I will buy another set for my Uberti 1862 Police revolver.

Yes… caps need to be seated firmly. I hope you were using Remington #10 caps and NOT CCI #10’s. The CCI #10 caps are too small and short to be safely used.

I am very pleased with your product. From the time I placed my order I realized your customer service was top notch. The shipping was immediate and I received follow up until they arrived.
I've only used them once but they worked flawlessly.
Great Performance
Alex - 08/24/2023
These are 10X better than the factory nipples. I wish they had a finish other than just stainless steel as they don’t match the look of most pistols. They are so much better than the factory ones that it doesn’t prevent me from keeping them installed though.

Durable and a great value. Fit my 1851 navy like a charm.
Easy installation
DaveN - 08/21/2023
Haven’t used them yet but installed them in 3 of my four Uberti BP revolvers.
Quality looks first class.
Shipping was fast.
All indications is this is the way to go for preventing cap jams.
Thank you DN

Excellent website and customer service and shipping. Nipples are well made and well machined, with an intelligent design. Very satisfied and would recommend to others.
Had problems
Tom - 08/19/2023
They didn’t work well in my Pedersoli 1858 Remington. Wouldn’t set off caps by Remington, CCI or RWS reliably on first strike by hammer. Revolver has a lighter than usual spring because it’s factory match tuned. Plus the fit was so tight removing them whole and in reusable shape was a challenge. I had to use a broke screw extractor on one and it broke the tool BUT it cracked free at he same time an I got it out. The point is that these work GREAT on my other guns but didn’t on this one in particular. I have 5 good ones left and will use them if the company will sell me 1 more instead of a full set. Only reason it’s. 3 star is because of this latest experience. Otherwise it would be 5.

Reply from Slixprings:

In the description box on the product page we have the brand of revolvers that our nipples will fit. Pedersoli revolver nipples have different tolerances and thus are NOT listed. That’s why they didn’t work.

Worth every penny

SlixShots are worth every penny because they solve the cap jam problem….
These are great
JD - 08/15/2023
My pietta Remington was giving me some cap jams and adding these nipples solved it.
Also got two sets for a brace of peitta Colt 1860's. The factory nipples seemed OK in these, but I desired to have these two guns as slick and reliable as they could be.
The only downside is that i now feel the need for a set on every spare cylinder too. Great product, just get them and do not look back.
Great Product
MJA - 08/13/2023
These nipples are easier to clean, and more reliable than the stock nipples. Easy to install and perform as advertised.
Awesome upgrade!
