Piercing your nipples?

[No second place]

Fellow BP revolver shooter asked where he could get those nipples with the holes in them for his Uberti 62 Police . I had the same problem with mine and a few older guns. Found a simple solution. Without a high end drill press. Chuck the nipple in a vice. Using a fine jewelers saw to cut down to where the hole would be. Touching up with a file after. This trick has been saving me $ for years by using factory nipples. Also much easier to peen open for my prefered CCI #11 caps when needed. Anyone else modding factory nipples?...c

If you are blowing out nips that fast they would be the worst I`ve seen or very hot hunting loads. Sorry, my camera won`t show stuff that small pics. I have modded high quality stainless nips also. I buy mostly older guns. Some have upgraded stainless nips but caps may stick. Some times just a little notch works fine for guns loaded on the heavier side. Light target loaded gun seem to work better with the holes or cuts...c

Blackie Thomas has a vid on YouTube about modifying nipples to split the cap and avoid cap jams.
