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.

Great Addition for Reliability
towgunner11h - 07/01/2026
These were put on a Uberti 1860 Army. Fired an N-SSA revolver match with no cap jams. Easy to clean.
Blackpowder nipples
RHamman - 07/01/2026
I have only had the chance to use these nipples once. The Remington #10 cap fit perfectly, had no incident with caps coming off and falling into the action. I was please with the performance. But, more impressive was their customer service. The post office swore delivery but I never got them until ten days after said delivery date. Meanwhile, I was promptly sent a replacement package. Thank you Slix shot

The caps don't seem to fall off these like they did with the original nipples. Refitted my second revolver and very happy with the results again.
Great upgrade

No more cap jams and all the nipples fit tight
Review
Mark - 05/23/2026
Slixpring nipples work much better than the stock nipples. I don't even bother shooting a new or recently purchased black powder revolver until I have replaced the nipples. Almost exclusively use 1075's for caps.
Dragoon nipples
John Grigaluinas - 05/21/2026
Exactly as advertised. This is the third set for different revolver. (62 navy colt, 49 pocket). Same great quality and fast shipping.
