More moot: I just reread my last post and I have edited the text: I was wrong about the RWS sizes. The RWS #1075 is their #11 equivalent. Their #10 (cant remember the # maybe 1050) is the smallest of all the caps I've had and won't fit anything I've ever owned.

Confusion reigns!!!!
Caps where I live is a take what ya can get and make it work kind of deal
CCI in early days --- Some Remington ----- RWS at the moment are easier to get

I have never been able to figure it out and still none the wiser - I just measured what I have in stock

Remington No 11 = .153
CCI  No 11          = .160
RWS 1075          = .160 (thats their pistol cap) 
RWS 1055          = .200 (their rifle cap)

measured length only - have our pistols fitted for RWS 1075 - seems like they are the smallest fit then Remington not much different - the CCI are loose -------(some of these caps could be 20 yr old stock)
Any of you fellers can make sense of this ? yr smarter than me.

Personally I like to make things simple (as you can get with cap guns) so all but one of my guns use Slixshot nipples and rem#10 caps.
The one that is not set like that is a 1862 Police model that is the most cap eating boy child of a female dog ever messed with.
Otherwise every thing else uses the same cap no problem.

4 clicks?

That's 1 too many.

Isbjorn,
  The last two are supposed to sound like one. The bolt locking the cylinder and full cock engagement is supposed to be simultaneous. That's per Colts design. The first "click" in a 4 click Colt is the safety notch which Dragoons do not have which means, it's a 3 "clicker" if it is set up correctly.

When I was building my RAT-ROD 61/36 Navy Kit Gun, I replaced the nipples in the Cylinder. I used a set of Tresso's I had replaced in another piece with Slix-Shot's. The Tresso's were short and would not fire a Cap. I used 20 gage soft copper wire from some RG-59 coax, and made some shim/ washers. I placed the wire in the nipple groove, above the threads and shank. This gave me just the right amount length I needed for a correct Hammer to distance clearance and fit. With this fitting the washer/spacer stays on the nipple if it is removed.

Works for me.

I use to use the nifty little Glo Plug Gaskets for model airplane engines.  Haven't had a Model shop in town for ...... Years now.  Lustrums even.  Sad.
