IINM, there are four types of nipples, stock, hardened, stainless steel and Ampco. Stock ones are what comes on your pistols and can be made from a variety of steel hardnesses, hardened ones are what Uncle Mikes used to make, stainless steel ones are manufactures by a couple entities, and Treso niples are made from Ampco bronze.

Those of you with more knowledge than me, please feel free to correct me.

In my experience, Treso nipples work the best, Uncle Mikes are second -if you can find them, with SS ones in third, and stock ones the least desireable.
