does anyone know where in Maine one could get #10 caps? i was able to score some #11 from walmart recent stock but that sold out very quick and they are #11. i have the 1851 snub nose navy and was told i could get #11 nipples from lone wolf but dont see any for .44. i know .44 was added later so would the .31/.36 work on the .44 as well? including a pic to ensure i picked the correct nipples for the 1851 navy snub nose

I’d order a set of Treso nipples for that revolver. #11’s , 1075’s and homemade caps work perfectly on them.
the shop i had looked were manufacture backordered so i did a little looking at duelist youtube and saw he uses slixshot nipples so i got a set of those, thank you for letting me know they even have the type of nipples i was looking for

Are those after-market replacement nipples sized correctly? The mfgrs. could sell a bunch if they directed the sizes to what people need, 10's or whatever.

i picked up some slixshot which were specified for #11 caps and from what i see online they seem to be some of the better nipples as far as caps staying on, they were also a little more expensive than just random ones but they sound like they are worth it
