hot shot nipple

[mark3885]

I just put a new Hot Shot nipple on my TC Renegade .54 cal. Will I see a difference in ignition or is this just hype. What are the advantages over a standard nipple. The hot shot has a smaller flame hole and 2 holes on the sides where the cap goes , also is about 1/16 inch taller.

I only use them on my sidelocks. I find more reliable ignition for sure.

Thanks Bubba , I knew you would chime in . What are the 2 holes on the side for?

it lowers blow back kind of like a pressure relief escape. it some sidelocks in the good ol days too much pressure caused the hammer to blow back and let gas into the shooters face.

Definitely helps on my sidelocks, not sure if you would want to use them on an inline
