I bought these on the recommendation of someone and they are much better that the nipples that came with my 1858 Remington from Pietta. I still cannot get #11 caps to work well with them but I believe I need a better way to crimp them on to the nipples. The ignition is better with them as well.

Keep in mind that Remington #11’s will NOT work well but CCI #11’s do. Remington #11's are too short and won't stay on the nipple. Some very old CCI #11’s may have problems also.

Original nipples wouldnt hold the caps. These have solved that issue!

These are matched in quality, fit perfectly and function.

I'm using these on a Uberti NMA, they replaced a set of another brand of (bronze) nipples. The others were a tight fit with the caps i'm using and had misfires, and when they went off with a second hit I often had a jam or two per cylinder.

These Slix nipples have fixed both problems. Cap jams, none yet. And they work well with the percussion caps I can find right now which are CCI #11s and RWS 1075's. 5 stars here.

These are excellent I put them on 4 Uberti replicas so far

Love these slixshots nipples. No cap jams. Easy to install.

Perfect fits for all of my revolvers. Since installing zero problems. Will continue to use and recommend to all.

functioned as advertized. No cap jams. Nothing wrong with product far as I am concerned. The only problem I have run into is finding a capper that will accept no. 10 Remington caps which work excellent on the slixshot nipples.

We use the Ted Cash Snail Capper and it works just fine.

Nipples installed nicely. They seem to work well. It seemed like they wanted #11 caps instead of the #10's.
I did not have the usual problems with caps jamming the revolver as they actually stayed on the nipples. Also easy to get off when reloading.

If anyone is interested the Pietta nipples fit on an older "EuroArms" colt army replica.

These nipples not only look good they perform great!

If you truly want the most out of your Uberti Remington 1858 range sessions, you need these nipples. The OEM nipples require you either to jam on #10 percussion caps, which are too small, or to crimp #11 caps, which are too big. CCI #11 caps seat perfectly on the Slixsprings caps, and the stainless construction makes them easier to clean in general, while the wider opening makes the interior easier to reach for cleaning. I like these so much that I'm going to get two more sets for my extra cylinders.

A pleasure to do business with SliXprings!

Excellent, I have them on all my percussion revolvers.

Outstanding product at a fair price.
Have been using these nipples for over 15 years. Highly recommend Slixshot nipples.

A++++++ product. Big upgrade compared to stock nipples. Helps BPP function better and smoother. Great company with great products. Would buy from again.

These cones are simply the best on the market, keep them clean and you will have reliable shots EVERY time and with ZERO cap jams, I dare say with Slixshot your C&B revolver is just as reliable as a center fire revolver, they work great with both RWS 1075 and CCI #11 caps and also with homemade Tap o cap #11s. I fully intend to outfit the rest of my revolvers with Slixshot as money and time allows, I would not trust any other brand!! On top of all that true shipping and service is impeccable!! Thank you and highest regards!

Although happy with the purchase, I wasn't as impressed as I thought I'd be. I've used them for just over 100 rounds so far.

They do help with the cap jam problem where the cap gets stuck in the hammer and then drops down. The jam problem may not completely go away since smaller flattened pieces of the cap can still fall into the internals when the cylinder rotates. This did happen to me once.

They are well made and uniform in size, which also takes care of the problem where some of the original revolver nipples are smaller or larger than the rest. I also like that they're made of stainless steel.

My only problem is that they don't seem as tapered as the original nipples which makes them a little harder to cap when using a capper.

Bought two sets for pietta "Gunnison and Griswold" reb confederate revolvers, and I went from 2+ cap jams every cylinder to ZERO. Reliable ignition, perfect fit for CCI #11 caps where the pietta caps shape and tooling caused misfires. If you have a black powder revolver, get these and don't look back.

I bought these to replace the nipples in my pair of Uberti Walkers. these fit perfect. and the caps fit very snug as they should. Well worth it.

These nipples work great. I have them on my 1858 Rem and my 1860 army. Fine product.

The engineering really enhances these nipples. I have found these to be far superior then others I have tried.

Just like the slix wrench, I purchased these slixshot nipples because I was impressed by Dustin Winegar's (Guns of the west) review on Youtube.

The gun that I purchased them for is the Uberti Walker. As with most Colt style revolvers, I was constantly having cap jam issues. Installing the slixshots made a huge difference. I no longer had to tilt the gun sideways while cocking to keep spent caps from falling into the action. The spent caps actually stayed put and fell out of the right side of the cylinder as originally intended by Colt when he designed the revolver. It functions flawlessly 99% of the time with just an occasional cap jam every once in a while.

The slixshot nipples are definitely a very good design and I am very happy with them.

I have two excellent Pietta 1858 Remingtons' with long and short barrels and five cylinders between them. All five have your nipples and they make shooting so much more enjoyable and reliable. My notes tell me that I recently fired 754 rounds without a problem. The next cap did not have a charge in it. I have a photo of a cylinder with all six fired caps still in place.I have shot black powder for fifty years and I now trust these revolvers in the woods as I would a cartridge sidearm. Thank you.

Quality product with BP users in mind. Well designed, great fit. Stainless design eliminates the worries of corrosion. Using Pyrodex FS I don't worry about fouling.

Great follow up and an excellent product. Without question I'll return with future needs. Best CTK
