Nipples

[smoothshooter]

I would only dry fire if the hammer can not strike the nipple. The foam in the hammer slot is a good idea. I didn't find out that my Remington Target revolver by EuroArms was designed to allow dry firing until I put 6 CCI #11 caps on the nipples and none of them fired. I did get the revolver to fire with CCI #11 Magnum caps. I found nipples with longer cones at Track of the Wolf and properly sized for #11 caps, so no more dry firing for me.

I figured out the foam earplug thing decades ago. Never heard of any one else doing it. Works great on anything with a hammer.
Makes Snap Caps a waste of money for most uses.

RWS 1075 or 1075 plus?

Regular RWS 1075 but I may have been wrong. On absolutely clean nipple a 1075 seemed to fit but I did not have time to check as I had capped the nipple unloaded off the gun and did not have time to put things back together. The dinner bell rang and I DO NOT miss supper.

Got in 5 shots with the 1075 caps on Slixshot nipples. The first round was dry fire the second strikes were live fire. Everything is loaded and capped weather permitting we shall see tomorrow June 2.
