Slixshot Nipples

Russ - 04/21/2025

I never do reviews, but, these Slixshot nipples are awesome. Before these, with the original nipples that came with my Uberti 36 cal 1851 Navy, I had a frustrating time with misfires as well as stuck caps. Now, those problems are distant memories. Any revolver I buy will have these.

Great Products

My wife suggested these, mind you she doesn't shoot black powder. I was wondering what the little hole was, installed them on my pistol and wow, where have these been all my life. They cleaned up easily too.

Slixshot Nipple

dakota814 (AT) msn.com - 04/17/2025

These replacement nipples for both Uberti and Pietta cap & ball revolvers not only work as advertised, but better.

These Slixshot nipples are far superior to the standard steel nipples that come stock with replica c&b revolvers.

Fletchet - 04/15/2025

Am new to the world of black powder shooting, and wanted to start off with what I hoped would be a high quality product. They are indeed that, and more. Well-made and sturdy, I anticipate many years ahead of use. Everyone should use these products!

Very Nice

Very glad I got these for my 1851 Colt Navy. Smooth.

1851 navy pietta

ElectroChemical - 04/14/2025

I purchased a set for my pietta 1851 Navy because the originals were not properly sized and because the original nipples would cap jam on almost every other shot.

The slicks shot fit CCI number 11's and Remington number 10s perfectly which are the two most common caps that I can find in my area you can use CCI number 10s but they are pretty tight and we'll have to push them down with a popsicle stick for a dowel.

As far as cap jams go their are far far fewer it's been narrowed down to just the occasional cap chunk falling behind the hammer

BP revolver nipples

Jim - 04/13/2025

Great product. This is the second set I’ve ordered for my BP revolvers.

Works great!

Sam - 04/12/2025

The nipples work 10x better than the factory ones on my Uberti 1860. Cap jams and misfires have fell to almost 0 and every cap has been split perfectly down the sides. Easy install as well.

Highly recommend

J MacKay - 04/11/2025

I purchased this product for my Peitta 1851 Navy Revolver. Prior to installation I had the typical cap jam issue and poor ignition, often needing the hammer to strike the cap a second time for the revolver to fire. After installation my revolver fires every time without fail. I still have the occasional cap jam, but I believe at this point it is due to the notch in the hammer or the safety pins on the cylinder. Still, I fired 6 cylinders with these installed and with the factory nipples installed. With the factory nipples I had 12 cap jams and had to stop to address the issue, twice I needed to disassemble the revolver to address the issue. With this product I had one single cap jam. Personally, I believe these results and this product speak for themselves.
