Worked BETTER than advertised.

By only replacing the nipples, you took a revolver that couldn't finish a timed shoot because of jammed, lost, or misfire caps to a gun that helped take a third place medal at the North South Skirmish Association National Championships! Later followed a second place medal. The nipples performed perfectly. No jams, no misfires.
Great!

nipples work perfect. Caps hold tight and easy to clean. Highly recommend these nipples!
Great product

These are the best made nipples out there and I am very satisfied with the performance. Will be buying another 2 sets eventually. Thank you

This is my go to product whenever I purchase a new black powder Colt or Colt clone. Colts are notorious for cap sucking, and the design of these nipples helps minimize that and prevent jams resulting from priming caps dropping into the mechanism. I have these on six Colt revolvers and one Pietta LeMat and they work great!

Great workmanship

These have great workmanship/ machining. Threaded into my pietta 1851 smoothly and tight. I will update on how they work when the fire danger drops and I'm not scared to shoot blackpowder
One great American company

It has been a pleasure working with Mr. Reagan. I've bought several sets and am very pleased with them. Quick shipping. Well packaged. Number one upgrade for your new black powder pistols. I highly recommend SliXshots.
Like the stainless steel durability
Bill L - 10/08/2026
Bought these for a Uberti Dragoon. Like the stainless steel material. Like that they fit CCI and Remington caps. Don't like that they sit higher in the cylinder leaving less clearance between the cap and frame; after firing, the spent caps sometimes slow down cylinder rotation. For me it's a bit of a trade-off. I did not have this problem with SliXshot nipples I purchased for my Pietta 51 Navy.
Work great!

Anti seized um up, put them in, they work great!
So far, so good.

I was having occasional failures to ignite the charge on a pair of Uberti Remington NMAs and felt it was time to also change out the nipples that had been in a pair of Colt .44 Navy clones. Both sets of guns have had several thousand rounds through their stock nipples and I was concerned the flash holes may be getting shot out. Each set of of guns have been used in only one match each so far where both pairs performed flawlessly. I'm confident that will continue for a long while with the new stainless nipples that are more resistant to burnout.
Fantastic Nipples! :)
CHARLES PEFFLEY - 10/01/2026
About a year ago I bought a Pietta 1858 Remington New Army .44 cal revolver, but the #10 caps kept falling off when firing it and #11 caps were way too big. So i replaced the factory Pietta nipples with these Slixshot nipples and am now using either #11 caps with round ball or #11 Magnum caps with Kaido 205 grain hollow points or Kaido 220 grain flat nose conincal bullets. (these shoot most accurate by the way).
So switching to these solved all the problems I had before.
Then recently I obtained a Ruger Old Army .45 cal. revolver and had all the same problems so I replaced the Ruger nipples with these Slixshot nipples and am using #11 Magnum caps with the Kaido 205gr hollowpoints and 220gr flat nose bullets with fantastic accuracy and no more problems at all. At 15 yards all shots are in the same ugly hole...at 25 yards 1.5" to 2" groups are effortless. Good luck!
All the best, Chuck Peffley

Slixshot nipples on 3rd model Dragoon
Vince Losasso - 09/25/2026
I regret to say that these made cap jams even worse, jamming the revolver after every shot.

With the factory nipples I could at least get 3 or 4 shots before cap sucking and jamming occurred.

Response from SliXprings:
Vince, I’m sorry the cap jams got worse after you installed our SliXshot nipples. A jam after every shot is frustrating, and I’d like to help find out what’s happening.
Please contact us with the manufacturer of your 3rd Model Dragoon (should be Uberti), the percussion caps you’re using, and where the spent caps are getting caught. A photo of a fired cap would also help. We can check that you received the correct nipples and work through the problem with you.
Replacement Cones

Perfect fit for my revovlers.
Slix shot nipples
Jamie Hoyt - 09/22/2026
A great product. I now just routinely install slix shot nipples on all my black powder revolvers.
Percussion cones
Gary - 09/20/2026
The new cones fit perfectly. I have not been to the range to try out; however, fitting the cones and firing them to clean the cylinder prior to powder charge worked fine. Gary
Works as advertised
Utah Blue - 09/09/2026
Nipples (cones) work to eliminate cap jams and does just that. Fits cylinder perfectly with no problems getting them in and out for cleaning. I’ve found both Remington 10s and CCI 11 caps both fit well. If your revolver is experiencing cap jams, a set of these nipples will most likely eliminate the problem.
Best product ever for cap and ball revolvers!
Larry Horyna - 09/05/2026
I own 10 black powder cap and ball revolvers. One of the first things I do with every gun I purchase is replace the nipples with slixshot nipples! They make all the difference in the world for relaiable shooting!
Nice

Praise
James Fry - 08/25/2026
I have purchased many slixspring products and have recommended these to several of my friends. The quality in these products is great and I appreciated that. I have incorporated them in several of my guns or used them as shooting accessories.

I was directed to your company by a fellow gun club member/shooting buddy who was very happy with his 1873 rifle (wide & rounded) trigger. I quickly ordered two for my two ‘73s, I am also very happy with them; they are a real shooting finger saver.

I found that ordering on line was simple and shipping was fast.

I will say that your nipple wrench will not fit the original nipples on my 1860 Colt Army Pietta revolver. But, you did not claim it would, only some reproduction revolvers. I have many other guns that I will use it on.

In summary, I have nothing but praise for your company, your people and the products you sell. I will continue purchasing your products and recommending them to my shooting buddies. I look forward to any new products you will be offering in the future. Keep up the good work.
