I've made multiple purchases the past few months and every transaction have been smooth. These will resolve a lot of the "cap sucking" you'll experience with the stock nipples on Uberti and Pietta revolvers.

This is the 1st thing I purchase with any new BP gun. Not cheap, but worth the value. Longer lasting, help to split the cap correctly for removal, taller shoulder for easier removal for cleaning, well made.

I am happy I found slix nipples, they are a necessity when you want reliability in your revolver, the nipples fit the caps way better the holes are good and they are stainless way easier to clean! Definitely upgrade to these before or after you get to shooting! Happy customer. Quick shipping as well…

I am very impressed with the slix shot percussion cones. I have been shooting black powder for 30 years and i have not seen a better cone than the ones made by slixshot. The quality is excellent, the price is very reasonable, and the cones have nearly eliminated all cap jams. I refuse to use any other cone than the ones made by slixshot.

Your new nipples fit into my Ruger Old Army, stainless, easily. CCI #11, mag, percussion caps fit perfectly and seat easily with just finger pressure and spent caps don't seem to stick, either. I couldn't be happier. Now, if you'd just make the components more available and cheaper, all would be well!

I haven’t got to use the guns yet, but the caps are night and day tighter on them. Looking forward to busting a few caps on them.

These are great, already purchased 5 or 6 sets and need to get more for the rest of my collection.

These are a great addition to any of your BP revolvers. I have these on 3 different revolvers and they all work great. Would recommend.

A great solution to prevent cap jams in my 1860 black powder revolvers.

My 1860 Army revolvers suffered from cap jams.. Slixshot nipples eliminated most of that problem.

What else can I write here? Best nipples on the market hands down

They fit my 1851 navy puerta perfect.

These are awesome cones; no cap jamming; fit perfectly

Thank you for your Excellent products / service.

These nipples are good quality stainless steel and should last a long time.

I don't lose caps or have miss-fires using your ignition cones.

I have participated in annual SASS matches and shot the 12 states clean.

All expectations met.

Purchased stainless nipples and tool. Fit perfectly! Purchased same from other companies and they don't compare. Awesome company! Would perfer to buy all parts here if I could.

#10 and #11 caps now fit fine. However it seems like the nipples might be a little long for my 1851 Navy. There is not much room to get them on but they do go on.



Reply from SliXprings:

Yes, they are intentionally designed to be slightly longer to provide more reliable ignition, as most factory nipples are too short.

Percussion caps are hard to come by so every time I got misfire from factory or other after market nipples I felt sad . I replaced my Uberti Colt Walker with Slix shots nipples and got 100% Ignition. I will replace all my active cap and ball revolver with Slixshots nipples

They both work great no problems what so ever I had two nipple wrenches before the ends would roll over and strip out. Slix wrench doesn't do that it works great and so does the nipples thanks for making quality products I Highly recommend these products. Thanks again wayne

Great product. No failures in my 51 navies at all. Thanks guys I’ll be getting these for all my pistols. The nipple wrench you produce is the best also

Somewhat pricey but they performed well. First 50 shots, there were no cap sucking issues. They take a #11 cap.

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
