Improved Slix-Shot nipples for Uberti revolvers

[Fingers McGee]

Received two sets of the shorter Slix-Shot nipples for Uberti revolvers & had a chance to use them in a monthly match this past weekend. Match was six stages using a .36 cal Navy Arms Frontiersman loaded with 22 grains of fffg Grafs powder, .380 Log Cabin Sport Shop cast roundball and #10 Remington caps. The caps were installed and seated using a Ted Cash revolver (snail) capper only, no push stick. At the end of the match, exploded caps had all stayed on the nipples. There were no missfires, no cap jams, no hot cap fragments caught between palm and grips (that really hurts).

These nipples work!!!

Now all I need to do is install some reduced power mainsprings and I'll be unbeatable (yeah right ).

Where abouts is the best place to find these slix shots anyhow?

Longhunt.com. I tried them on my 58 and 51 and they work great.

Shot my Navies this past weeekend with the Slix Shot nipples and Wolfe reduced power hammer springs. All I can say is SAWEEEETT. Worked like a champ

I've had them on my Classicbalistx ROA cylinder for a while now and am quite happy.

A few months ago I tried to buy some Slixs for my Uberti 62 Colt Police and they didn't make the right size so I bought an extra set from TOW and had the vent holes drilled like the Slix Shot nipples.
I haven't had the time to try them yet.

By the way, it cost me an extra $50 to have a machine shop drill the vent holes. It took a 1/64th drill bit to do the job. That set of nipples ended up costing me about $80 so I don't recommend doing it even if it does improve the function of the gun. It sure would be nice if Slix would start to make them.
