Idaho -
I got the Slix Shot nipples from Long Hunter Shooting Supply (longhunt.com).

What aftermarket stainless nipples did you get? I tried some from Rydon (rmcoxyoke.com) and while they were nice looking stainless, dimensionally, they were exactly the same as the stock nipples, so didn't provide any benefit for cap fitting, so sent them back.

The Slix shots in stainless matched my "stainless" 1851 Marshalls, would eventually like to replace the stock nipples on my blued 1851, 1858, and 1860, and think ill try Track of the Wolfs basic hardened steel or Ampco nipples, which I've read are made specifically to fit 11 caps, I believe CCI in particular, but would look more visually correct on a regular blued/brass gun.
