Fits CCI #11 Percussion caps perfectly.

Wayne - 01/23/2025

I have a 1858 pietta Army cap and ball revolver. I was unable to find Remington #10 Percussion caps. The CCI#11 Percussion caps would fit snugly on one of those factory ones. So I ordered these Slixshot nipples for the task. The CCI#11s fit snugly on each one. Very Happy with the purchase.

Greatly increase reliability

David Cole - 01/22/2025

because
1. misfires
and
2. cap jams
become almost nonexistent after replacing stock Italian reproduction nipples with SliXshot nipples.

fit perfect thank you will buy again

These are awesome

Dave - 01/20/2025

I purchased two sets, one for the 1847 Walker and one for the new Pietta 1851. The Walker was a dramatic difference, far fewer cap jams. The 1851 not nearly as dramatic, but noticeably better. I believe that was more on the quality of the pistol than the SliXshot cones.

Outstanding service after I messed up

Andrew Walbridge - 01/18/2025

Firstly, the product is outstanding. Easy to install, clean, and makes the more common CCI #11 caps fit perfectly. I literally could not remove the caps after they were installed, which is what you want.

Where I was most impressed however was the customer service. I'm new to BP shooting and didn't realize that dry firing my revolver can (and did) damage my hammer and nipples. After realizing this, I emailed customer support to see if this was my mistake (it was), or a defect. I was fully honest and up front about my mistake. Despite this however, I was sent a new set of nipples free of charge.

I was genuinely speechless. You've earned yourself a lifetime customer sir. THANK YOU!!!

Must Have Product !

I have been a Cap Gun Shooter for 40 Years .
The Slix Shot Nipples is a Must Have Product to Shoot Cap Guns on a Regular Basis .
I would call this the best Product for Percussion Gun shooting in the last 50 years .
I personally run them on ALL My Cap Guns !

Best sure fire nipples

Charles Short - 01/17/2025

I’ve put these on all my cap and ball revolvers. Takes care of any ignition issues. I highly recommend them.

Great Nipples (opps.. can I say that !)

James Milholland - 01/13/2025

Replaced the nipples on all 5 of my BP revolvers with Slix and they are a great product. Patrick was also helpful in steering me to what I needed.

Slixshot nipples

Wayne Young - 01/12/2025

I have several percussion revolvers in different calibers. Since I have been using Slixshot nipples my shooting has improved because they eliminated the cap jams that irritated the heck out of me. Now I can concentrate on shooting instead of prying caps from under my hammar. I highly recommend them. Shooting is a lot more fun!

Great Nipples

Also Great service!

Solved the problem!

Michael Kaminsky - 01/12/2025

Have a uberti leech and rigdon that had some issues with cap jams. As some may be aware reproductions are not built the same as originals, the problems lie in the geometry of the parts itself particularly the nipples as well as the hammer face. Slixshot nipples drastically improved the performance along with some minor rework of the hammer face!

Now I know why so many people rave about them.
Worked so much better both on my 1851 Colt and my 1858 Remington. Excellent upgrade.
Thanks for another great product.
