Didnt read all of the responses, but I had one and the problem was 100% cap size. I used one size larger cap and ZERO problems! (They were remington, if memory serves).
Mine was suprisingly accurate and fun.....I may need to get back into one.

Found some TRESO nipples for the 1860. They're on the way.
Hopefully this will solve the issue.
Fellows, I have never even seen this "gunfighter flip".
Knowing my luck if I tried something like that, I'd hit myself in the forehead with the barrel, knocking myself out, and dropping it, and scratching the thing!
I can live with a split open head but a scratched pistola NEVER!

Pohill, the gunfighter flip, if done correctly, will not violate the SASS 170 rule. Therefore it should be legal.
Remember, there are no other shooters around you on a stage. The only way you can endanger the TO or the spotters is to actually turn toward them.
Another point. Recoil is going to elevate the barrel to a certain extent, although obviously not 30 degrees. When you barrel reaches maximum recoil rise, cock the hammer, turn your wrist clockwise (if you're right handed) to allow the spent cap to drop, then return to normal shooting position for the next shot.
I can't speak for everyone, but if I'm the TO while you're shooting, you won't get called for a proper flip. And I'm RO1 and RO2 certified.
After I posted this last night I moseyed over to the SASS Wire and posted the same question. Here's a link to their responses:

My fix.
Hey :
Here is how I fixed mine and it worked and I have not had an issue since.
The burr was removed and polished . All spent caps just come out now.
My hammer was the problem with not setting off the caps.
The nipples are still too big and I will tend to that later.
