Sedalia Dave Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Does anyone have experience with the Stainless Steel nipples sold by Track of the wolf. I have an 1860 that cannot use Treso or Slix Shot nipples because they are too long. Track of the Wolf sells them in a couple of different lengths. Does anybody have first hand experience with them? If so are they as good at Treso's or Slix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prairie Dawg, SASS #50329 Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Hi Dave: While I have never used them myself, I have it from reliable Frontiersmen that they are very good nipples. I personally would not hesitate to give them a try. Not exactly what you were asking, but I hope it helps. —Dawg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyesa Horg Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 I've got them on my 2 1860's by Pietta and they work just fine. I'm currently using #11 Remington caps with no issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Coffinmaker Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 No personal knowledge. However, PLUS ONE too Prairie Dawg. My information is second hand. Reputed to be a good product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamond Curly SASS#57086 Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 I have used the Track of The Wolf stainless in about four of my guns with no problems. I use Remington #10 caps that work just fine. All the revolvers that have the stainless nipples are snubbies. DC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Brules Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Since You state that TOTW has two sizes of stainless nipples, why don’t you take a couple measurements of your current nipples, using accurate calipers, and order the TOTW nipples that match (or measure out to come the closest to), yours? Try them out, see what happens; if they don’t work, return them. I haven’t used them, but I’ve read accounts from those who do use them, and those accounts are favorable.

Eyesa Horg Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 As Cat stated I measured the originals and went with that size. I liked being able to order just 5 for each gun and left one original in so as to be able to see the empty cylinder. When I clean the gun they go back in at random, thus all cylinders are used eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
