Got tons of black powder issues and tons of questions and no clue how to post properly haha. I got a 1851 colt navy 44. I noticed the action binds up when caps are on the nipples, it seems when the hammer rest on a nipple the hammer won’t engage to the last click, meaning I have to pull the hammer back 3-4 times before it finally engages and I can fully pull the hammer. Any ideas?

Sounds like the caps are rubbing on the shield. Multiple causes, but your pistol probably needs a bit of polishing in multiple places to get that action working smoothly without friction. On one of my pistols I had to sand all the cones. Also I use a short piece of dowel to press on the cap to make sure it's seated all the way.
