Great product and customer service. Slixsprings solves a very consistent problem with black powder revolvers and makes them reliable and enjoyable to shoot. It’s not comforting when there is either a hang fire or misfire and this product really adds a very real and significant safety factor when it comes to black powder revolvers. Customer service has been great with plenty of follow up and fast shipping.

Slixshot nipples are the only nipples in my revolvers. They work great, stay clean and I get no jammed caps.

Buy them and enjoy shooting your Cap and Ball revolvers even more.

I had a good experience at this company. They are prompt and the nipples work great

These are by far the best after market pistol nipples that i've used. They fit my Pietta 1860 perfect.The two small side holes on the nipples split the cap nicely allowing easy removal . # 10 caps fit snugly .Finish is excellent.

I was having problems with #11 caps jamming my Pieta 1860. Installed the Slixsprings nipples solved!

I use these nipples in all my Uberti cap & ball Revolvers with no problems whatsoever.

What a remarkable product you folks have come up with. I found that by replacing the original nipples on all my percussion revolvers your Slixshot ones made a tight fit with #11 percussion caps. Before, on the original percussion nipples, the #11 caps were very loose and I had to use only #10 caps.

I like companies that practice what they preach. The Slixshot nipples work better than the original. Caps fit tighter but not too tight.

I put these on all of my cap and ball revolvers. I tried them VS the stock nipples on a pietta 1858 remington repro. The problems with the stock nipples were nonexistent with the slix shots. I will go as far as to say they solved 99.9 percent of the stock nipple problems such as cap sucking and misfires. Please do not quit making these, they are great!!

Well thought out design. They do reduce the hammer blow back or bounce with the pressure port hole in the side, so the hammer does not tend to pull the expended caps off the nipples as there is little bounce back if any. The interior of the nipple does seem to Focus the flame down to the powder.

Excellent replacement nipples for 1860 Army Colt/Uberti. Thanks Patrick!

Since I switched to these nipples NO miss fires!!!

The stainless steel Blackpowder nipples are superbly designed, engineered and manufactured to a standard of excellence to ensure a cleaner, more uniform ignition, bar none! Thanks Slixprings!

I have a pair of Uberti 1860 Colt Army replicas that were having terrible cap jam issues. I replaced the nipples with your SlixShots and fired 48 straight shots with no cleaning or wiping and Bingo! No problems.

These nipples are the best thing that ever happened for BP revolvers. They work well with #11 caps which are the size mostly found around the country. No problems with caps getting stuck in the action either. As the cylinder rotates, these slide off with no issues.

Have them on 11 of my guns and they are amazing

I was experiencing multiple cap jams when using my Pietta 1851 revolver, several in every cylinder that was shot. The Slikshot nipples greatly reduced the jams to about 3-4 in 36 rounds fired which is quite an improvement! I also no longer have to pinch the Winchester 11 caps to get them to properly seat.

These make any black powder revolver more reliable...I have bought multiple sets of these for mine.

Maybe these are good for black poweder? I tried them on 2 piettas with 777 and pyrodex. Weaker ignition and 50/50 delayed firing on every cylinder. Stock nipples are much better for what I'm doing. They're well made.

Tons of our customers including Competition Cowboy Action Shooters use BP Substitutes like Pyrodex with amazing results. We also use sub’s with no issues. This is the first we have heard of this so I think it’s something you’re doing or not doing in your loading technique.

the best black powder nipple on the market today, will buy more when needed

This is the fourth set of nipples I've purchased as expected they performed excellent on my Remington new model army all my percussion revolvers are equipped with slixspring nipples a must for all revolvers

They look and fit really good on my revolver just I can’t find any powder or ammo anymore.

Love them they fit my gun perfectly and I will buy them for my next black Powder gun as well

These are the best replacement nipples for my uberti revolvers. Love them

First thing I do when acquiring a new cap - n - ball revolver is to replace the nipples with SlixSprings nipples. Love them and a great reliability upgrade.
