I cannot recommend these nipples enough. They fit CCI #11 or #11Mag perfectly, which are plentiful in my local shops even during a shortage. They consistently fire better, foul less, and are easier to clean. Get a wrench from Slix while you are at it, the quality of Slix products is far superior to anything you will find from the mass market brands.

Best upgrade. Very happy

FIRST STEP IN PREVENTING MIS-FIRES AND CAP JAMS

The best fix ever for any cap and ball. I will allways use these. Super high quality.

Excellent Product. I have replaced the original nipples of both of my Uberti cap & ball pistols, & would do it again.

They work dandy. The factory nipples Pietta and Umberti use seem both under-sized and do not deliver a consistent flash. These though, work every time. My compliments to Slixprings These just WORK

I have four black powder pistols and each one has a spare cylinder. I use SliXshot nipples on all of them. While rather pricey, they are far superior to the stock nipples in regards to having to deal with cap jams. Especially essential for the Colt replicas in my opinion.

I am returning to black powder after a 30-year hiatus, and discovered this product through online discussion forums (I wish we had these 30 years ago). I bought them to tune-up some Piettas I bought before shooting them. No misfires yet, and they work with #11caps which is all I can find. I’ll buy more for my extra cylinders soon.

Third time I ordered this product great service short wait time and they work great.

i bought these for uberti walker and 3rdmodel drogoon was haveing trouble with jams they are fun to shoot now

After the frustration with the Uberti 3rd Model Dragoon nipples causing cap jams (5 out of 6 !shots) I replaced the factory originals with Slixshot nipples... no more jams. That simple and that easy! I consider this an instant fix.

I routinely replace the factory nipples with Slix Shots before shooting any new percussion six guns. Solves problems before they start.

I bought 4 sets of these for my pietta 1851 and 1860 Colt repros. I must say , if you do anything to your cap and ball revolver, you must install these cones / nipples. I had a hard time getting any type of percussion caps lately. I found a few RWS 1075 plus and CCI #11 mags. They both work great with these cones on all 4 of my cap and ball revolvers. I had all kinds of issues with these caps using the factory cones. Not anymore , I shot over 50 rounds in each pistol and only one fail , that was my fault because the cap wasn’t fully seated. These cones are outstanding and make those old smoke wagons very reliable. Great product, great company , I wish ya’ll the best ! Thanks

After trying a set on a Uberti Colt 1851, I bought for 2 more Uberti revolvers and a Ruger Old Army. All work flawlessly and convinced me shooting buddy who bought 2 sets. I’ve used whatever caps I can get in these times, mostly RWS 1075. Shooting is much more fun without cap troubles.

Works just as intended on my Pietta 1858 5 1/2 inch. Cheers and thanks. God bless.

After trying several other companies, I did this conversion for all 5 of my Uberti Colt’s and Remingtons. It is by far the most reliable of all contemporary nipple conversions. There is no other place to shop.

I ROUNTINELY SWAP OUT FACTORY NIPPLES FOR THESE HIGH QUALITY REPLACEMENTS

Great product! Cylinder fit is perfect and the caps fit well.

TURNED ALL 5 OF MY BPs FROM 50% TO 100% SHOOTERS, MADE MY BPs DEPENDABLE, WHAT A DIFFERENCE A NIPPLE CAN MAKE, REALLY SHOWS HOW BAD THE STOCK NIPPLES ARE, EVEN IN MY RUGER OLD ARMY !!!!

So good I had to get some more.

these nipples fit RSW caps perfectly. with the factory Uberti nipples the caps were too loose. i highly recommend them as an improvement in reliability and function.

my .02

Exactly what we needed for restoring an 1851 Navy revolver.

Slixshot Nipples work great on my 1860 Army and Uberti Walker. Thanks for making a Great Product!

MY 5 BLACK POWDER REVOLVERS ALL WHOULD ONLY FIRE OFF 3 OUT OF 6 SHOTS ON THE 1ST TRY , SO I INSTALLED SLIX NIPPLES IN ALL OF THEM , RUGER OLD ARMY, 1858 NEW ARMY REMINGTONS, COLT-WALKER 1847, & A 1851 PEPPER BOX, NOW THEY ALL FIRE ON THE 1ST TRY, WHAT A DIFFERENCE, THEY ARE DEPENDABLE NOW !!!!

I bought these for my Pietta 1851 Navy in .44 to solve my cap jam problem.
Everything about these Slixshots are terrific and money well spent.

Not only have I not had a cap jam with these yet (I'm at about 100 rds and counting), I have noticeably better compression/cleaner fire now that the caps don't tend to split in half, and this equates to better accuracy.
I use the Remington #10 and they are a snug fit but they still work, even though these Slixshots probably do better with #11s

Cleaning these up after firing seem much easier than the stock Pietta nipples, to me the steel cleans up better and at least its easier to spot the areas where there might be residual powder residue.

Very happy with these, they have made my overall experience shooting my revolver that much more enjoyable!
