Can the #10 size nipples on this revolver be changed out with #11 size nipples without having to rethread for #11 nipple size?

Cap size has nothing to do with thread size.
Match the #11 thread size to the #10 thread size and you're golden.
No tapping of cylinder required.

Take a look at this selection from Track of the Wolf. They all fit CCI #11 caps. OOPS! Sorry the pictures didn't show. Just visit Track's website to see their full selection of nipples.

Swapped my 58 stock nipples with a set from Slixshot #11s fit perfectly also they sell a nipple wrench that i would recommend

Get a set of Slixshots, the 10 and 11 caps fit fine . Make yourself a nipple wrench out of a 5mm deep socket that cost $4 and works great.
