I have these nipples on my 1860 Army Uberti revolver, they worked so good I bought another set for my wife’s 1869 Army Uberti revolver. They also work great, I recommend them to everyone.
If they could find some other way to ship them besides USPS every thing would be perfect.

This happens from time to time, as I think the post office is shorthanded. In all fairness, this order was placed on June 2, shipped on June 3, and delivered on June 9.

I have replaced all the stock nipples in my cap and ball revolvers. Have had great success following slick springs recommendations. 1075's are my go to caps.

When I get a new cap and ball pistol I order a set of SliXshot BP nipples as a matter of course. I've learned from experience that the SliXshot BP nipples will not fail or cause jams the way the manufacturer's will.

Fits perfectly works great

Great product at decent price..solves metallurgical problems of all Italian reproductions..shipping is slow

You placed your order on Sunday evening. We processed it on Monday and shipped it on Tuesday. From that point, delivery was handled by the Post Office. Although postal delays are outside our control, we appreciate your business and your feedback.

I have been using these on a pietta copy of a remington new model army. When compared to the factory nipples, they they tightened the group up at 75 feet from about 6 inches to 3 inches, they split the caps and they fall out better than the factory nipples. I also noticed that they did shift the point of impact at seventy five feet up about two inches and to the left about an inch.

The first thing I upgraded for my 1851 yank snub nosed revolver was Slix Shot nipples, and that was done before I even
shot it for the first time. No cap jams and every cap fired. Now the carbine I did fire, but I shot it with stock nipples. The caps just fell off and some were misfires. Well guess what I did. I sent for Slix Shot's. I have confidence now that won't happen again. These nipples have a LARGE opening and the proper tiny hole to the powder. They won't let you down.

Love these new stainless percussion nipples.they fit my 1858 New army perfectly, and performed great.

I thought for a long time about upgrading to slick shot nipples. Finally, I did it. Glad I did. So stop thinking and just buy them!

I had always heard about these nipples but never had the opportunity to use them. I decided to purchase a set and wow I should have bought them years ago. They are a must have if you shoot cap and ball revolvers. They will change everything for the better.

These nipples fit the #11 CCI’s which is all I can find. I suppose Remington #10’s are no longer produced. So these work 100%.
Now to afford another set or two.

These performed better than I expected. Very high quality construction and the CCI 11 caps fit snuggly and did not fall off. Very impressed and will buy more for every C&B revolver I purchase. Worth every penny.

I have outfitted 4 of my BP pistols with these. And will continue to do so. They are tough, with a thicker washer section, and stainless steel. I like the larger internal cone diameter at the top, along with the smaller diameter hole at the bottom. The SlixSpring nipple wrench fits them perfectly.

I have not yet tried the Amp/Tresso style, so I have no experience with them.

Perfect fit! No issues and a good hot spark.

I have been fighting cap lock in my Navy Colt for way too many years. Heard about these at the gun shop and gave them a try. Great Product

Well worth the money for reliable, consistent ignition and significant reduction of cap jams in the revolver. You MUST however, use the correct size cap as specified in the instructions.

Nipples work great! Outstanding customer service! I have several of my black powder guns using their nipples. Won’t hesitate for a second if I need more of their products!

I have slixshot nipples on all my cap 'n ball revolvers except one, and those nipples are a knock-off of slixshot. I guess you should copy the best, if that's your game! They look good and function perfectly. Das ist der Hammer (That really rocks).

Slixprings are the best. With RWS1075 caps I have VERY few issues.

The reputation is earned. Nice modern stainless nipples. Haven't tried them with all cap combos but they work great with CCI #11s, fits tight but will still blow all the caps right off the nipples and out of the action via the side holes. Neat feature, good aid to reliability.

I put them on all my cap & ball pistols. I now enjoy 100% ignition with SlixShots Cones. I also can't say enough about the Slixwrench & Slixhand. They make my shooting reliable & fun. Been using CCI # 11 & RWS 1075. Caps don't fall off & rarely need to be doweled on for seating. Excellent Product!

work great with my Uberti New Model Army.

I use SliXshot nipples in all of my competition percussion revolvers. Using the correct mainspring and powder loads, as well as filling in the notch in the hammer (and not loading more than five chambers thus ensuring proper safety), these nipples force the caps to split outwards helping to prevent them from dropping into the action.

This is my 3rd set of nipples and I find them to be very well made and fit perfectly. After setting caps on firmly, you can trust that the gun fires every time. Being stainless steel, they clean up easily.

My pistols are noticeably more reliable on first time primer strikes.

This product works as advertised and I will place additional orders as I purchase spare cylinders for my pistols. Absolutely recommend to others who use ball and cap pistols.

Excellent customer service provided to ensure the nipples purchased for my pistols.
