I purchased a set after being disappointed with my otherwise perfect Uberti Remington. Ignition was spotty at best. Today I installed these new nipples and after 100 35gr powder loads fired without cleaning, ignition was 100% with zero caps falling off or failures to fire! I only stopped because I ran out of caps. I have owned and carried 1911’s that were less reliable. Fantastic product. Thank you!

Hands down best quality nipples I nave used so far !!!!

I recently got involved with cap and ball shooting. Everyone, without fail, said to replace factory nipples with SliXshot. They were right.

Ignition every time, despite numerous rounds fired throughout a match.

Using 30 grains bp these will blow the cap right off or apart , not recommend if you use a big load ,

The intent purpose of our nipples is to split the cap to help keep it from flying back into the action.
We also recommend a lighter load. Heavier loads may require a stronger hammer spring.

Bought two sets for Pietta revolvers. On my 1860 army they worked to perfection. On my 1851 Navy (Dixie Gun Works/Pietta) they seem too long, Using Rem #10 caps, I have to really seat the caps hard with a dowel to get them to clear. This then resulted in chain fires on several occasions.Loading used wonder wads over the powder, so I am sure the chain fires were from the rear, Never had a chain fire on this gun with the original nipples.

Not all reproduction revolvers have the same manufacturing tolerances and this can be an issue with a few. The very simple solution is to file some metal off the forcing cone end and increase the gap between the barrel and cylinder and this problem will go away. Usually what works best is about .015” of gap. Your gun may need a tad more or less.

Fixed both my 1851 navy revolvers from sucking caps going to get some for 1858 Remington sheriff just because lol

They work great.

The nipples are high quality and work perfect. i want to change my 12 gauge coach gun but the tool won’t fit because they are much longer nipples than the pistols😕. but i love the pistol nipples.

I purchased these as suggested by www.youtube.com/watch?v=aoMjedKvZak
They fit perfectly and work as advertised. No more cap jambs!

they are exactly what I wanted

I purchased two sets of Slix Shot nipples, based off of the very positive feedback i saw being given to them. However, my new model army has cap jammed after each and every shot, without fail. I think there may be an issue with the hammer spring,i don't know. But I do not wish to discredit your product, nor attribute my issue to it. Thanks, Luke Robbins

Make sure you are using Remington #10 or CCI #11 caps. A lightened hammer spring will also remedy this problem.

Replaced my stock Pietta niples on two revolvers and noticed the better fit and easy drop off of the spent cap.

I called them to modify my order as to combine another in the same shipment . Took care of it no problem

The Slixshot BP nipples fits great and works great. Bought them for my ASM 1851 Navy & 1860 Army revolvers. I didn’t have any cap jams when using them. Highly recommend these.

always excellent products!

Best thing for black powder

The nipples do exactly what they are supposed to do. The caps stay on the nipple and don't fall into the hammer slot.

I rebuilt a replica 1851 BP revolver and wanted to include a second cylinder with the sale. I purchased 6 SliXshot BP nipples for the second cylinder. The new owner of the revolver is very pleased with the rebuild but has not yet fired the gun using the second cylinder.

They fit & worked as described.

If you are a black powder shooter SLIKSPRINGS nipples are a must have, no more cap jams. Call Patrick today.

I have 2 pietta .44 cal
Since putting sliXshot nipples on revolvers I haven’t had a problem with them blowing off or getting jammed , great product
ILL BE BACK

I own a whitneyville dragoon and love it. Fun but nasty. The stock nipples were a problem and on line video recommended Slix replacements. New ones are like night and day! The driver is made of better metal and less apt to strip.

Using Remington #10 caps with 1860 New Army pistol, I have had no cap jams. These nipples are smooth.

Installed these on three Pietta revolvers and the difference in reliability is night and day. I fired a cumulative 72 rounds after the install and did not have a single misfire or jam. I will likely never again own a black powder revolver that I do not install these on.

Excellent product. Replaced my factory nipples and no longer have any firing issues. The Rem #10 caps fit perfectly. Highly recommended.
