I bought a set for both my Colt Walker and Colt third gen Dragoon Uberti replicas. They fit perfectly and perform very well.
Easy install

Got these for my Uberti, Pietta and Lyman (pietta). Can't go wrong with a quality product.
Slixshot niples is what I use on all my black powder revolvers

I have bought these nipples before for my 1860 army and now I purchased my second set for my navy colt. I am very pleased with them and any black powder pistols I buy in the future I will probably buy again .

Over all I was pleased with the item that I purchased. Although I did feel the ss nipples were a little over priced . But what isn’t if you feel that it helps with the cap jamming then by all means order them . I do think that they helped.
The order was easy and they were at the door in no time. I would and will buy them again.
Great Product

They threaded right in and performed perfectly. Couldn’t be more pleased. Gonna buy more for other BP firearms’
Vast improvement

The Slixshot nipples are way better than the factory originals. They measure like they need to. Caps falling off is no longer a thing as it used to be. Seems like powder ignition happens better also. Very pleased with product quality.

The original Old Army nipples did not fit the caps securely and I was getting misfires. With the slixshot nipples I get 100% reliable ignition with CCI #11 caps. Problem solved.
Superior product
R.G.Eckel - 12/28/2025
First time using these revolver nipples, they are high quality and fit perfectly for my Uberti.
Can’t wait to get more for my other revolvers!!
Colt, Remington n Roger n Spencer

We have ordered and placed the slixshot nipples in our reproduction black powder colt navy, Remington navy n army, Roger n Spencer revolvers. They have improved the reliability and reduced the broken cap Jams in all the revolvers. They make a positive difference. Worth the investment.
Nozzle diameter
Pb head - 12/20/2025
Smaller nozzle size option would help prevent cap frags and 4f
seepage. Also it would help against cap/hammer blowback, particularly with light spring/hammers found with pocket pistols.
Just my thoughts and findings,
Jim

Reply from Slixprings:

That is what the side vents are for. To relieve that pressure.

Excellent nipples for Pietta 1851 Navy

So far working perfect! Highly recommend!
Reliable !
Pete Swepston - 12/12/2025
I was having trouble with my Pietta 1860’s. They were not reliable at all. After I bought the Slix Shots they were 100%. Definitely worth the money. Also buy their nipple wrench, it is the best out there.
Good Quality
Alexander - 12/11/2025
Got a set of these for my Pietta Lemat. They work well and are good quality.
Worth the cost
Rick Miller - 12/08/2025
I bought the Slixsprings nipples to reduce cap sucking, increase ignition reliability, and address the Remington #10 percussion cap shortage. All three issues satisfied by these nipples. With Remington #10 caps not available to me, I was forced to buy CCI’s. My stock nipples (Uberti and Piettas), a CCI #11 falls off and a CCI #10 doesn’t seat all the way, resulting in many non ignition events. With the Slixsprings and CCI #11s, I get a solid bang each time I pull the trigger and not near as many cap sucking incidents. I prefer Remington caps but since I can’t find them, this has allowed me to continue enjoying my revolvers.
Excellent customer service and fantastic product
Laurel A - 12/07/2025
I have a cap and ball revolver with no manufacturer's markings on it, and with a couple measurements Patrick was able to figure out which nipples would fit it. They fit perfectly and I'm extremely pleased with the performance.
Wouldn’t shoot a cap & ball pistol without them
Cole Bluesteele - 12/07/2025
Heading says it all. Cap jams and cap sucking is virtually eliminated with these nipples. I routinely tune my revolvers for function and reliability. I don’t remember the last time I had a cap jam. Never had one with these nipples. I shot a clean 10 stage two day match with these. Get them and you won’t regret it.

The online order form was easy even for an old timer like myself, and thats not always the case. It only took a couple days to get my package. I’m very satisfied
