Dragoon aftermarket nipples

[KLNC]

Are Tresos (which no one seems to have) the only quality aftermarket nipples for the Uberti Dragoons?  It appears to me that the alternative, SlixShots, are only made in one size, for the 1851s, 1860s etc., and from what I can tell the Dragoons use a different size.  Is that correct?

That seems to be the consensus.

I just ordered a set of Slix Shot nipples for my Walker using number 10 Remington caps. Although it isn't clear in the description on the website, there is a box under "Choose Options" to order Walker-Dragoon nipples.

TRESO might be out of production, but I was told there are efforts to correct that situation.

Track of the Wolf (TOW) sells excellent aftermarket nipples for the Dragoons (and Walker).  I know they come in stainless steel, which is what I have, but for the real purist, I believe they also make blued carbon steel nipples that are otherwise identical.  Bear in mind, though, that it won't take all that much shooting with the stainless nipples until they're more or less permanently stained black anyway.   By the way, I seem to recall that TOW sells two different lengths of Dragoon nipples, and that the Ubertis and 2nd Generation Colts take the longer ones.

I'm almost positive that Treso is out of business.  They did make Dragoon nipples, and I bought some.  They were uniformly too short and entirely unusable.

I didn't realize that Slix-Shot made nipples for the Dragoon.  I can only say that I have a set of Slix-Shot nipples on an Uberti 1860 Army and am very favorably impressed with their performance.

My understanding is that Treso is back making nipples.  Email from a fellow cap gun shooter:

Treso is back in production.

The Possibles Shop lists most sizes as available.  I confirmed it in a private email with Don Mayes, the owner.

Just in case you needed any.

Thanks.  They have everything in stock except the ones I need!
