I have installed SliX nipples in the five reproduction percussion .44 revolvers that I shoot most often. What a difference they these nipples have made! They have virtually eliminated cap jams and stuck caps that I must pry off with a screw driver. My review represents several hundred rounds put through each revolver before and after the SliX installation. The guns consist of a Ruger Old Army and Pietta Colt and Remington replicas. I have recommended these nipples to several friends who have enjoyed the same improvements to their shooting experience.

worked great on my 51 navy. still having trouble with caps falling in the mechanism of my 62's. think i will have to jb weld the safety notches on these two. haven't tried my 58 yet but don't foresee any problems there at all. these are nice nipples and i recommend them. their wrenches are unbeatable. by the way, Patrick is great to work with, very knowledgeable and immediate response with any questions. good company and good products.

Regrettably the nipples were the wrong thread size. You listed these nipples to fit my Remington 1861 revolver so I bought them without removing the old ones. That is also why I bought your nipple wrench. That wound up breaking but I was able remove one . The original is a.225-32. My fault for jumping the gun.
Thanks

Reply from Slixprings:

We have never heard of that size of thread. (.225 x 32 ??) The most common are: 12-28 SAE, 6mm x .75mm Metric, or ¼ x 28 SAE. Not sure what you have. Sounds like an older imported revolver that used an odd thread size. Yes… we highly recommend removing one of the nipples and check the threads first if you aren’t sure what the brand is. Also sending us a picture of it helps. We are happy to assist in this way.

These Nipples are a necessary upgrade if you are using cap and balls for hunting or competitive shooting, if not they're just a really nice upgrade. the increase in reliability is night and day.

These are the best. Great products.

These new nipples made my 44 army work well the caps don’t fall off the nipples of the other five chambers when I fire For the first time I shot all six rounds with out screwing around with caps or cap debris

I’m very happy with these firing cones! I haven’t had a single cap jam in my colt Walker since replacing the factory nipples with these ones.

Slic shots seem to work very well, caps fell off easy .will be purchasing these for my other cap n ball guns.

Replaced the OEM nipples with these and they are MUCH better and work awesome. Zero misfires or problems. OEM nipples had two times that I didn't get ignition of the powder... not with these!

they work great

These nippes hold the caps as advertised..

These are great nipples. The caps lock in and don't fall off. They don't get sucked off either. I use them with CCI #11 caps and they work as they should. All my BP revolvers have these equipped.

These are fantastic. Very pleased.

These nipples work for both Rem #10 and CCI #11, but I find they work better for the #11s. They stay on but fit a little bit looser for the no. 11s, so the spent cap parts fall off more easily and I get fewer jams. The no. 10s jammed more than I thought they would.

Purchased a Pietta 1851 Navy. Bought new Slixshot nipples before it arrived. Did so because I replaced the nipples on my Pietta 1860 Army earlier this year. They eliminated all cap sucking on that firearm. They did the same for this firearm as well. Great product and fast shipping. Well worth the money.

I’ve ordered these for both my Pietta 1851 navy and my Uberti 1860 army. The quality is high end, the change out is perfect and easy!!!! This is a very simple fix for cap jamming. I will definitely be ordering more set of these nipples for my other black powder revolvers. Would definitely recommend this product to anyone!!!!!

These work great. I have them for all my Cap and Ball Revolvers.

I am 73 years old and have been shooting cap and ball revolvers along with many other types of black powder firearms since I was 17. I bought a slix hand tool to help with those short barreled five and six shooters that come with a corresponding short loading lever. That tool makes loading a cinch. If you have a gun that the caps cause cap jams when firing, then the slix shot nipples are the solution. Don't go into battle without them.

These made such an improvement on my pistol, that I bought more for all my pistols.

These nipples work great, reduced jams/misfires by 90%.

Highly recommended.

Have them on Colt 2nd Gen , Uberti Remington , Pedersoli Remington & Pietta Remington. They work with CCI 11 magnum , RWS + 1075, Remington 10 caps . They solve many cap / nipple issues ..

These are great. Larger outside diameter holds caps better after firing. Larger inside diameter allows more fire to the chamber for better detonation. Cleanup is a snap. I have purchased for all my cylinders (8) for my 1858 New Armies.

I have not had a chance to use them yet but I have purchased 15 sets of nipples for my Black Powder revolvers that work just fine. I expect these 4 sets I just purchased will be just fine as well. Thanks Tom Simmons

A great product that quickly and easily solves the problem of cap jams. I consider it a must for all of my percussion revolvers.-even with my Rogers & Spencer’s as it makes it even more reliable than it already is right out of the box. I cannot wait to upgrade my ROA’s with your wonderful products.
I highly recommend them for all of my fellow shooters….

Stops the loose fitting caps. No more squeezing caps to make them snug. Thanks for a great product
