Before I bought these nipples, I was having such a hard time dealing with cap jams. My next range session after installing them on my 1860 Army went great. The overall reliability increased by so much more and cap jams were almost completely eliminated.

Exactly what I wanted, thanks

I wouldn't have bought 4 different sets of them if they didn't work.

I installed these on an uberti 1847 walker pistol. They are a massive improvement over the factory nipples. I put 60 rounds through it with 0 misfires or hang-fires. They greatly improved the overall reliability of my gun and made it a lot more fun to shoot.

I picked up a set for my 1851 and I had not a single cap jam after 60 shots. I then purchased a set for my ROA functioned flawlessly, they work awesome!
Thank you Slixprings!

What can be said, absolutely the finest nipples on the market.
What more needs to be said.

these nipples are a must for all black powder pistols they solve all cap problems

Excellent product

I'm new to black powder and was having issues with my new gun firing reliably. These nipples solved it all. Great product, bought them for both of my cylinders.

Fired caps fall away from nipples

Have never had a problem with the slixshot nipples. The great thing about them is the consistency in quality of the products. I also have a slixwrench and have had absolutely no problems with it either.

Bought these for several BP revolvers, rarely a stuck or cap jam.

I recently purchased a Uberti 2nd Model Dragon and found that the between cap jams and caps not firing on the first pull, I was not getting the full functioning of the gun. Fast forward to my getting a set of nipples and wrench in the mail from Slixshot and I had the new nipples on the gun in a few minutes. Long story short, I am not having any of the former issues now... The side vent on each nipple is effectively rupturing the caps and they fall off just as they are supposed to. Only one cap jam so far.. All smiles here!! Great product and just what the revolver Dr. ordered.

I had ordered what I thought was the correct nipple, but the thread size was different. I called and left a message. I received a call back promptly. I sent the new nipples back along with one of mine. Within a week I received the correct nipples, and they work great. No more caps falling off and a much better ignition of the charge. Thank You

This is my third set, they worked very well on my (Pietta) 1860 army so bought a set for a (Pietta) 1851 navy, again they worked well, so got a set for my (Uberti) 1849 pocket model. Good fit and function with all three.

I have installed nipples on all my black powder revolvers a great improvment

They work perfectly and as they should!

This is my second review of the Slixsprings Black Powder Nipple product, and it continues to work as advertised. I recently used them during a black powder night shoot and there were non of the fail to ignite problems I had with the factory nipples. I've added another set to my Christmas list for Santa.

Thanks for the uncommonly good customer service, helping to determine the proper thread pitch for my cylinder. The original manufacturer is out of business and Slixsprings went out of their way to help determine the correct product. The issues and shipping were clearly communicated throughout the process, better than most companies I deal with. It was greatly appreciated.

I can be reached at LTJoker467(AT)yahoo.com if additional information is needed regarding these comments.

I think one vent hole would not break up the caps in so many peaces and would roll around and fall out the side cleaner.

Reply from Slixprings:

A single vent hole actually creates problems and makes the spent caps uneven. If you are using the proper caps as recommended and they are pressed on firmly along with a properly tuned revolver they work extremely well.

Since I been using slixshot nipples my cap jams in my Colts has pretty much stopped.

I have two cap n ball revolver replicas. A Colt and a Remington. Both had difficulties with cap jams and I spoke to Patrick about the best replacements for these guns to help with the problem. Quick and sharp replies, accurate advice, I got a set for each gun and on the next couple of outings was pleased to see they operate as advertised. Cap jams are no longer a thing and these slixsprings nipples are much easier to fit caps on as well. Highly recommend!

These are the way to go if you what to spend you time shooting and not fighting caps getting stuck and not firing.

NEW PIETTA NAVY .36 NEEDED SOME FIT AND FINISH WORK, AND STOCK NIPPLES WERE NOT CONE SHAPED (CAPS FELL OFF). SLIXSHOT NIPPLES PERFORMED FLAWLESSLY. FIRED 100+ ROUNDS WITHOUT A SINGLE MISFIRE OR CAP JAM.

always the best nipples; even better now that they take several types of caps. some aftermarket nipples need to be checked for burrs. not these!

They are installed, have not begun to sight in revolver yet.
