If you're not new to the world of cap and ball revolvers you already know these are some of the best nipples you can buy. I use CCI #11 caps because that's the only thing available in this day and age. These nipples grip the cap well. They will never fall off and the venting design helps eliminate the rebounding hammer making cap jams less of an issue. I have a set on all my guns.

Makes a good range day even better!

well made U.S.A. can and does make good products. Plus they look great!

Expected great service and a great product, and I got it again...thank you!

Just the edge my New Army needed to light off these pyrodex pellets.

These worked perfectly on my pietta 1857 replica revolver. If you have this revolver do not hesitate these nipples are quality and they work.

I had a few problems with cap jams. The caps were getting stuck in the slot below the hammer sight. I got on YouTube and observed how to hopefully solve this problem by relieving the sharp corners on that slot. Used a small stone to smooth out the sharp edges. With the freezing temperatures of the last month here in Michigan I haven’t been able to get to the range to try it out yet.

Iam 70 , Been shooting smokers a long long long time Slixs do help a whole bunch

I shot 200 rounds total out of 4 different Colt Revolvers last week. Each revolver had Slix nipples installed and I had one cap jam for the 200 rounds. That’s what I call a game changer!

I installed these on an Uberti 1858 carbine. The factory nipples wouldn't fit a Rem#10 cap, and the CCI#11's would fall off with recoil (dangerous!)

My go-to replacements are Slix. These are beautiful and turned my 1858 into a real shooter. They also helped reduce the cap splash that the revolving carbines are known for. Do yourself a favor an get a Slix nipple wrench as well.

Patrick is the best. Buy your stuff from him!

Excellent as always

Absolutely love these . I have them on almost all my pistols now, I will definitely be buying more. Far better than any factory cones/nipples that I’ve used . If you're on the fence about trying them .. just do it . You’ll be happy you did

These nipples make shooting a lot more fun without cap jams! They are quality made.

These nipples are perfect for my Uberti 1860 Army. Consistent cap splits, and no cap jams yet. I also like that the shoulders are a little taller than the stock Uberti's, making assembly and disassembly easier. And the fact that they are hardened stainless steel, which are more durable, and corrosion resistant than the stock nipples. The caps fit better too. Well worth the money.

Worked very well. I would suggest these to anybody.

I have not shot the gun yet with them but they appear to be high quality.

Easy installation. Holds percussion caps without fail. Every chamber ignited without any problems. No misfires. No fallen caps. Ignition every single shot. Replacing all my cylinders with SlXshot nipples.

Larger wrench flats. Nicer cap fit. No cap suck.

Finally got around to changing out the stock nipples on my 1851.
Only fired a few cylinder full, but no cap jams!
Highly recommended!!

I got these slixshots for my walker and it greatly improved the cap jam problem, before it would jam a lot and I would never be able to shoot a full cylinder without it jamming. After I replaced the nipples with the slixshots cap jams are pretty rare, overall very pleased with them and I'll definitely buy again for my other revolvers

I have a 1858 pietta Army cap and ball revolver. I was unable to find Remington #10 Percussion caps. The CCI#11 Percussion caps would fit snugly on one of those factory ones. So I ordered these Slixshot nipples for the task. The CCI#11s fit snugly on each one. Very Happy with the purchase.

because
1. misfires
and
2. cap jams
become almost nonexistent after replacing stock Italian reproduction nipples with SliXshot nipples.

fit perfect thank you will buy again

I purchased two sets, one for the 1847 Walker and one for the new Pietta 1851. The Walker was a dramatic difference, far fewer cap jams. The 1851 not nearly as dramatic, but noticeably better. I believe that was more on the quality of the pistol than the SliXshot cones.

Firstly, the product is outstanding. Easy to install, clean, and makes the more common CCI #11 caps fit perfectly. I literally could not remove the caps after they were installed, which is what you want.

Where I was most impressed however was the customer service. I'm new to BP shooting and didn't realize that dry firing my revolver can (and did) damage my hammer and nipples. After realizing this, I emailed customer support to see if this was my mistake (it was), or a defect. I was fully honest and up front about my mistake. Despite this however, I was sent a new set of nipples free of charge.

I was genuinely speechless. You've earned yourself a lifetime customer sir. THANK YOU!!!
