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!

Not sure I would put much stock on my review as I am a rather new cap & ball. I got heavy into BP as primers getting hard to find. Anyhow, I got 1 Dragoon, 2 remmys, 2 1851 Navys, and a Lemat. My first tries with these guns with factory nipples, I experienced nipple problems. Clogging, falling off etc. A quick net search confirms I am the first person in history of cap and ball shooting to ever face these problems. Even my limited knowledge started me to look at the nipples. Got on net and researched many articles and products. I found these (SliX) and liked what I read. Decided to try one set on one gun. Needless to say I ordered 5 more sets. Additionally, being a Veteran run company did it for my first order. The 1858 Rems run 6 shots clean, as with the 1851 Navys. The Lemat runs clean all 9 shots. 20 ga TBD. I don’t know why these nipples are that superior. It works and that works for me. I finally got to a match which had many experienced BP guys and gals. SliX brand is a household word, at least in Northern Nevada. I’m still amazed at how right I got this right. I read some comments that SliX was on the pricey side, don’t believe it. Quality always trumps cheap.

in my 51 navy, that I use for reenacting I can now get all 6 shots off without issues. First time it has worked right.

what a great fix for the cap sucking

Great replacement for the stock nipples in my black powder Pietta. Drop in replacement and fit for the #11 caps I use

I bought some for my reproduction 1851 Colt Navy Revolvers and they are very good . I will be buying some for my other C&B revolvers soon.

Pull the stock nipples, save em and use these....

Used on a 2nd gen colt dragoon 3rd model and a pietta 1851 navy this weekend....

Over 80 rounds across both pistols, not one cap suck or jam....

These just plain ole work..!

bought a Colt Dragoon 2nd series and no caps would fit tge nipples were too large and track of the Wolf was out and everyone has been saying try slixshot so I ordered them. They say they fit cci 11s winchester11s and rws 1075 all of which I have but they barely fit. The rws wouldn't even fire without at least 2 strikes some of the winchesters the same.Pulled out a micrometer and 2 were a little larger by a couple thou.I chucked them in the drill and took them all down a little with a file and sandpaper so the winchesters and cci fit tight and the rws very tight but they all work 1st strike.I do like how they work now several hundred rds no lose caps and the slixshot really blow the caps off and in half but I wouldn't buy again as I don't want to have to work on somthing I buy and didn't want to have to send them back and wait for another set.Maybe I just got a bad set.

Great product and fast service. Excellent on my 1858 NMA.
