Why Choose Pietta Stainless Steel Nipples
Factory Fit & Function: OEM-style dimensions made for Pietta cap-and-ball revolvers ensure proper cap retention, reliable ignition, and clean hammer fall.
Corrosion-Resistant Stainless: Stands up to black powder residue and moisture better than mild steel, simplifying maintenance between strings and after cleaning.
Consistent Cap Seating: Uniform cone geometry promotes snug cap fit to reduce misfires and cap walk-off, improving shot-to-shot consistency.
Six to a Pack: Service an entire cylinder (or multiple revolvers) and keep a couple of spares for your range kit.
Easy Upgrade: A straightforward replacement that can noticeably improve reliability on well-used revolvers.
Ideal For
Regular Range Use: Improve ignition reliability for casual target shooting and load development.
Reenactment & Living History: Dependable cap seating helps keep your revolver in rhythm during long event days.
Maintenance & Restoration: Replace worn, pitted, or mushroomed nipples to restore safe, predictable performance.
Installation & Fit Notes
Compatibility: Designed for Pietta percussion revolvers (e.g., 1851/1860/1861/Remington-style patterns).
Thread Specs: Pietta revolvers have used different nipple thread sizes across models and production runs. Always verify the correct thread pitch for your specific revolver before installation.
Tools: Use a proper nipple wrench to remove and install; avoid pliers that can round the flats.
Torque & Anti-Seize: Apply a tiny dab of anti-seize or high-temp grease to threads and snug firmly without over-tightening to protect the cylinder.
Pro Tip: If your caps fit loosely, try a different cap brand/size recommended for your pistol. A properly sized cap that seats squarely reduces misfires and cap fragments in the action.
Black Powder Care Essentials
Clean Same Day: Black powder residue is corrosive—clean the cylinder, threads, and nipples with warm, soapy water or a black-powder solvent after shooting.
Inspect Regularly: Replace nipples with peened cones, enlarged flash holes, or damaged threads—these can cause unreliable ignition or unsafe blast.
Cap Fit: Choose snug-fitting caps; lightly pinch only if your manual recommends it for your model.
Safety & Compliance
Always verify the revolver is unloaded and uncapped before maintenance.
Wear eye protection when capping, firing, or servicing nipples.
Follow local/state/federal regulations regarding black powder firearms and components.
