Best performance of all tried.
Timothy Barrett - 07/07/2025
Stainless with larger chamber definitely a plus for high use black powder competition . Less fouling buildup in nipples and No nipple jams in hammer recess is a match necessity .
I like them, makes shooting more pleasant.

Makes it easy to get caps. Not restricted to #10. Considering CCI #10 are to tight. Then it can be hard to find Remington #10. It also Reduces cap blow black. Noticed it right off the bat.

Great replacement for the stock nipples. I have them on both my piettas navy and army. Perfect fit and work way better then the stock ones. Very happy with their performance.
Great product

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 2nd, Shipped on June 3rd and delivered on June 9th.

BP replacement nipples

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.
necessary excellence

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.
Great product

You ordered on a Sunday night, we processed on Monday and shipped on Tuesday. The rest is up to the Post Office. If they delayed your shipment then that is not our fault but we do appreciate your business and input.

I love these.

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.
Replacing nipples for my 1851 navy and 1858 carbine
Robert D. - 06/29/2025
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.
