Black powder revolver builders should give potential buyers the option of having the slixpring nipples installed on new revolvers instead of the junk they install at the factory. I have replaced factory nipples with slixprings in several of my new purchases.

Best cap and ball revolver nipples on the market.

Bought these for my Pietta 1858 Remington and 1860 Colt revolvers. They fit perfectly in the cylinders and #11 caps fit nice and snug and stay on. Had no problems or misfires at the range. Very happy.

My 60 year old Navy Arms Remington and the SS SliXshot nipples fit correctly. Looking forward to the next N-SSA season. I may order another set for my back-up pistol. Customer service gets my "pat on the back." Speedy shipping, too, earns 5 stars.

Not any better than the Uberti nipples, I would not buy again

These work great. Prior to these I had cap jams and the stock nipples were a problem when I wanted to use CCI # 11 magnum caps . Now they fit snug and have no problems igniting pyrodex. I rarely get a cap jam.even then it clears easily

I've used Slix on a couple of .44 cal cap and ball revolvers and they are lightyears better than the stock nipples that come on the Pietta reproductions. Far fewer cap jams, consistent ignition, and a nice tight fit with #11 CCI caps. Easy to clean and corrosion resistant as long as you are diligent about cleaning after shooting. One of my guns has 400+ rounds through it and the nipples show no sign of mushrooming or other wear. I'll always put Slix on my cap guns.

The nipples worked great in my 1851 Navy using #11 caps, no issues at all, I highly recommend.
Thank you for great C&B products!

I have upgraded all six of my current BP with these and any new one I get I immediately order a new set of cones.

Much better than the original.

i ordered these a short while ago. i had an issue, and like an a$$ wrote a poor review rather than reaching out to the company for advice.
i received an email from the owner himself, stating he would send a different set of nipples, and offered advice on what i also needed to do.
i have to admit, ( albeit in shame ) that this company steps up!! i want to extend my gratitude, and sincere apology.

Im a old cap and baller from many many days ago.
These guns have improved several times over the years.
The guns coming out today are the best I have ever seen.
But the nipples have always been a issue with them all.
Over the years there have been many different manufacturers making replacement nipples.
Some have worked better then others.
But None of them have worked like these slix shot nipples.
They are the best nipples in the game today.
I have bought several set.
Actually many sets over the last few years.
IMHO , This is the best upgrade and the first thing you need to do to your cap gun.
You will resolve a lot of your cap gun issues right off the bat with Slix Shot Nipples!

Good job guys.

I purchased them on a recommendation and I have not been disappointed . They work well on the Colt Walkers from Uberti so I have ordered a second set and a set for the Colt 1849 Pocket Model. I have fewer cap jams which means I get to shoot more! Thank you for a great product!

The cones (nipples) that I had purchased for the 1847 Colt Walter are well machines and fit flawlessly into the cylinder. I did not experience any problems with the ignition of the gun powder.

my walker was only firing about 50% of the time. new nipples have it firing 100%.

Nipples fit my Colt 1860 perfectly, and Remington #10 caps work great. Before replacing the nipples, the gun would jam 3 out of 6 shots. Now I have approximately 1 out of 12 shots jamming. I would recommend these nipples.

these nipples were the perfect fix for this rifle. It would constantly misfire because the original nipples were too short by about .001.

Nice upgrade to the replica 1858 Revolver. Very impressed with the vents on the side of the nipples. Would recommend.

So far they are working great, the 1860 Army "runs" well, no cap jams.

Took my Pietta 1860 Army to the range with the new Slixshot nipples. I experienced zero cap sucking issues. Very pleased their performance. I highly recommend them!

Keeps cap jams away !

Exactly what I needed! Fit perfectly

Cap jam problem solved

They work great, what else can I really say.
