Folks, Slick Shot cones aka nipples are basically SOP for any B/P pistol shooter anywhere.
The company really should attempt to partner with Uberti , Pietta and Pedersolli to have these item as standard equipment with each pistol produced.

Stainless with larger chamber definitely a plus for high use black powder competition . Less fouling buildup in nipples and No nipple jams in hammer recess is a match necessity .

Makes it easy to get caps. Not restricted to #10. Considering CCI #10 are to tight. Then it can be hard to find Remington #10. It also Reduces cap blow black. Noticed it right off the bat.

Happy with product works well thank you

Great replacement for the stock nipples. I have them on both my piettas navy and army. Perfect fit and work way better then the stock ones. Very happy with their performance.

I have these nipples on my 1860 Army Uberti revolver, they worked so good I bought another set for my wife’s 1869 Army Uberti revolver. They also work great, I recommend them to everyone.
If they could find some other way to ship them besides USPS every thing would be perfect.

This happens from time to time as I think the post office is shorthanded. In all fairness, this order was placed on June 2nd, Shipped on June 3rd and delivered on June 9th.

I have replaced all the stock nipples in my cap and ball revolvers. Have had great success following slick springs recommendations. 1075's are my go to caps.

When I get a new cap and ball pistol I order a set of SliXshot BP nipples as a matter of course. I've learned from experience that the SliXshot BP nipples will not fail or cause jams the way the manufacturer's will.

Fits perfectly works great

Great product at decent price..solves metallurgical problems of all Italian reproductions..shipping is slow

You ordered on a Sunday night, we processed on Monday and shipped on Tuesday. The rest is up to the Post Office. If they delayed your shipment then that is not our fault but we do appreciate your business and input.

I have been using these on a pietta copy of a remington new model army. When compared to the factory nipples, they they tightened the group up at 75 feet from about 6 inches to 3 inches, they split the caps and they fall out better than the factory nipples. I also noticed that they did shift the point of impact at seventy five feet up about two inches and to the left about an inch.

The first thing I upgraded for my 1851 yank snub nosed revolver was Slix Shot nipples, and that was done before I even
shot it for the first time. No cap jams and every cap fired. Now the carbine I did fire, but I shot it with stock nipples. The caps just fell off and some were misfires. Well guess what I did. I sent for Slix Shot's. I have confidence now that won't happen again. These nipples have a LARGE opening and the proper tiny hole to the powder. They won't let you down.

Love these new stainless percussion nipples.they fit my 1858 New army perfectly, and performed great.

I thought for a long time about upgrading to slick shot nipples. Finally, I did it. Glad I did. So stop thinking and just buy them!

I had always heard about these nipples but never had the opportunity to use them. I decided to purchase a set and wow I should have bought them years ago. They are a must have if you shoot cap and ball revolvers. They will change everything for the better.

These nipples fit the #11 CCI’s which is all I can find. I suppose Remington #10’s are no longer produced. So these work 100%.
Now to afford another set or two.

These performed better than I expected. Very high quality construction and the CCI 11 caps fit snuggly and did not fall off. Very impressed and will buy more for every C&B revolver I purchase. Worth every penny.

I have outfitted 4 of my BP pistols with these. And will continue to do so. They are tough, with a thicker washer section, and stainless steel. I like the larger internal cone diameter at the top, along with the smaller diameter hole at the bottom. The SlixSpring nipple wrench fits them perfectly.

I have not yet tried the Amp/Tresso style, so I have no experience with them.

Perfect fit! No issues and a good hot spark.

I have been fighting cap lock in my Navy Colt for way too many years. Heard about these at the gun shop and gave them a try. Great Product

Well worth the money for reliable, consistent ignition and significant reduction of cap jams in the revolver. You MUST however, use the correct size cap as specified in the instructions.

Nipples work great! Outstanding customer service! I have several of my black powder guns using their nipples. Won’t hesitate for a second if I need more of their products!

I have slixshot nipples on all my cap 'n ball revolvers except one, and those nipples are a knock-off of slixshot. I guess you should copy the best, if that's your game! They look good and function perfectly. Das ist der Hammer (That really rocks).

Slixprings are the best. With RWS1075 caps I have VERY few issues.

The reputation is earned. Nice modern stainless nipples. Haven't tried them with all cap combos but they work great with CCI #11s, fits tight but will still blow all the caps right off the nipples and out of the action via the side holes. Neat feature, good aid to reliability.
