This is not the first time I have purchased from you,(Slix Hand tool) however I wanted a premium set of nipples for an Armi San Marco/ CVA 1860 Army replica. I wasn't sure what set would fit, but 1 email question and one answer and I knew what to buy. Thanks for your help!

Excellent product,fast shipping,these worked perfectly on my Pietta 1860 army.

Got the nipples for Pietta revolvers- perfect fit and function. Fired 8 cylinders through 2 different Spiller & Burr revolvers with no cap jams and no misfires or hangfires.

Second set for me. Well made. Worth the money. Enough said, period

They help mitigate cap jams. well made and well fit.

So far, I've only shot caps using these, but, no misfires like the originals.

I have replaced the majority of my revolvers' factory nipples with SliXshot nipples. A couple of my revolvers would not make it through a whole cylinder without a malfunction. Once I swapped out the nipples for SliXshots, no problems.

I have SliXshot nipples for my Colt & Remington reproductions. They work as advertised. Better ignition and the vent holes in the sides cut down on the back-pressure and spread the caps out so that they fall out of the gun easier after firing, rather than clinging to the nipples.

Have been very pleased with these nipples. Pretty much eliminates cap jams. I use them on a pietta 1860 and two ubertis (1851 and 1862)

I replace stock nipples with these every time i get new revolver. Dont even bother with stock nipples.
These work very well and reliablely.
No cap jams.ingnition every time.
Also this outfit sent me a new modifide slixhand leaver.
Modifide to fit 1849 pocket.
Works really well.

Purchased these for my Cimarron Walker Civilian, and a Cimarron Remington New Model Army. Removing and replacing was simple as could be. Did have a problem with number 10 CCI percussion caps not fitting. However the Remington's fit like a glove! These work very well, and have not had a cap jam since installation.

As clearly stated on the packaging, website and FAQ section on our website we list the recommended caps to use with our nipples. CCI #10’s are NOT on that list and will NOT work as their inside diameter is too small. The recommended caps will work great as you figured out. Thanks for the review and business.

These cones are very slightly oversized but that leaves room to custom fit them to the pistol. Both in length and diameter. Now caps fit perfectly and length is just right. A little time consuming but it is a hobby.

Very nice and definitely an upgrade!

I’ve gone shooting several times no jams no misfires definitely going to buy another set for my other new army revolver

I have 6 cap & ball revolvers made by Uberti or Pietta. All are tuned for SASS competition and include Slixshot nipples for reliability. Not one misfire in two years using Slixshot nipples with Remington #10 caps on a pair of Pietta 1860 Armys. So far I’m getting the same results with a pair of one month old Uberti 1861 navy’s and Slixshot nipples. No misfires at all.

Great company to work with and the product is terrific.

I shoot these and only these in all of my Black Poder pistols

I own six revolvers. Over tome each (with the exception of the 1858 Remington) has been outfitted with slix shot nipples. I started out with the worst offender for cap jams, a .36 1851 DP made in 1985. I was so impressed I bought a set for each gun over time.

I have these nipples for my Colt 1851 Navy 2nd Generation Colt Re-Issue and my Uberti 1851 Navy replica (same thread for both). Both sets arrived quickly and work perfectly.

I have replaced the nipples on three of my guns with SliXshots, I absolutely love the fit and function. So much more reliable. Worth every penny!

Fit in perfect to Uberti 1861 Navy revolver. Haven’t gone shooting yet, but huge improvement over stock nipples.

Everything is A-OK with me!!!

CCI #11 caps fit perfect. No misfires.

just what I wanted Thanks.

You get what you pay for.-the manufacturing, materials, and design of the cones are superior to the “stock” ones you get with your replica revolver. And they really do seem to fit and function better as advertised. I suppose one could try to “modify” the originals or go with a cheaper brand, but these solve the problem right out of the box. Precise tolerances and consistency matter…
