SliXshot Nipples Give Better Ignition and Reliability in Your Percussion Revolvers
SliXshot Black Powder Nipples are precision-machined from premium 416 stainless steel and engineered to deliver enhanced ignition performance and reliability. The design features an enlarged internal chamber leading to the flash hole, promoting a hotter, more consistent spark for improved powder ignition.
The stainless steel construction provides excellent resistance to rust and corrosion, making these nipples ideal for long-term use in demanding conditions. Each nipple is heat-treated to a Rockwell hardness of 38–45, helping reduce wear and extend service life.
Whether you're looking for better ignition, greater consistency, or improved longevity, SliXshot nipples offer a dependable upgrade for your black powder firearm.
