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.



Reply from SliXprings:

Many of our customers, including competitive Cowboy Action shooters, use black-powder substitutes such as Pyrodex with excellent results. We also use these substitutes without experiencing problems. Since this is the first report we have received of this issue, it may be related to the loading process or technique rather than the powder substitute itself.

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.

I had no problems installing them in my 1851 navy (I also have the slix wrench)but they worked very well had some cap fragments issues but way way less then the factory nipples. I’d recommend them!

# 11 and 1075 caps fit very well on these nipples. No worries about them falling off. On both my Walker and 1858 Remington the sides of the cap split out when fired and will generally fall off as the cylinder is rotated. Seems to deliver good fire to the chambers.

Great product, shot today & never had a miss fire really do work good, thank you slixsprings.
