The slix springs black powder revolver nipples
Mark Schwarz - 03/07/2025
I recently purchased these for my uberti 1861 navy to help with cap jam's they have greatly reduced the amount of them they are easy to replace and work well
Slixshot nipples.

I now have installed them on all of my cap and ball revolvers. Not only do they make cap jams much less likely, they increase the options for percussion caps without having to “pinch” them.
Perfect fit

I purchased these to replace the factory nipples on my Uberti 1860 Colt Army, and they are a major upgrade. Very snug fit with CCI #11 magnum caps. These provided reliable ignition and solved the issue I had with caps backing off the factory nipples under recoil.

Fantastic product. The only problem I had with them was operator error. The stock nipples took #10 caps. First time at the range and nothing was going well. If I had read the instructions clearly I wouldn't have had a problem. Got some #11 and it was smooth sailing. At least as smooth as cap and ball can be!
Wonderful.

I have these on all my pistols.
Love them.
Great upgrade!
Thomas A. - 03/02/2025
Fixed the cap jam issues and cap seating issues I was having with the factory nipples. Very positive cap fit, very positive ignition. Absolutely love them, they'll be going on any revolver I get in the future, as well!
Great nipples

Now my #11 caps stay on my nipples. Cause as everyone knows #10 are so hard to find. Very satisfied would recommend these nipples
Uberti Short Nipples

Hello Patrick, the Uberti "short" nipples you sent me worked perfectly in my Armi San Marco. Threads matched perfectly. Thank-you for all your help!
SliXshot nipples
Bill - 02/28/2025
They appear to be precision made and of very high quality. And they have been very effective in eliminating jams due to fired caps. The difference in performance is dramatic. With the SliXshot nipples, so far no jams or problems.
Snug fit

Percussion caps stay on nipples
Great Nipples

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.
Great product!

Makes a good range day even better!

These worked perfectly on my pietta 1857 replica revolver. If you have this revolver do not hesitate these nipples are quality and they work.
Great product for the most part.
Don Baldwin - 02/18/2025
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
A Game Changer
Ron Houseman - 02/11/2025
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!
The best
JC in KY - 02/10/2025
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!
