will the cash capper work on pocket revovlers?

[Pancho]

I'm tired of losing my caps on the ground than I get on the nipple. I've tried the inline capper and it wasn't any help. Does the cash capper work better or at all on the small revolvers?

My Ted Cash revolver cappers (also known as snail cappers) work on my '49 pocket model and '62 Navy & Police models

Pancho; I've got to watch this thread, cause I'm interested too, since I'll be getting one of those pocket revolvers fairly soon.

Right now I use (what I call) the Snail Capper on my 1860 Army .44 caliber revolver. It holds close to 100 caps, so I like it better than the Inline Capper. Don't know why it wouldn't work with the small pocket revolvers.

Fingers, you mentioned the pistol I'm having problems with, 62 Colt Police. On your opinion I'll have to buy one. I'f all goes well I'll report back.

Ive got a couple of "baby" dragoons that need to have caps "pinched". The capper will work with them but they fall off. Mine works fine on my .36 pocket police and all of the Colt revolvers.

This is a TC "Star" capper. It works with the Pietta Remington. The cap is pressed on to the nipple and then pulled outward to "rip" and separate the cap out through the slot in the plastic cup holder.
I don't know if it would work on the Colts as is, but this design does allow the caps to be pre-pinched before being inserted into the plastic cup holder if necessary.
I supposed that the little plastic cups could be shaved down with an Exacto knife or such to help it fit the Colt.
They're still being sold:

Here's another capper that's based on a similar idea and at $1.95 is inexpensive enough to experiment with. It is more flexible than the TC which makes it different than almost every other capper, and it appears to be thin enough so that the cap would protrude enough to help it engage with the nipple to be seated. Maybe just loading a cap into every other hole and leaving a space in between each would be beneficial.

#10 Remingtons fit just fine on my Uberti '49 Pocket; CVA (ASM) '62 Pocket Police; and Uberti '62 Pocket Navy. Don't have to pinch them (impossible to do with a snail capper anyhow), and they dont fall off.

That's what I've got.
#10 Remington Caps is what I switched to last year. They're a little longer and fit tighter than the #11's, so I have to watch that they seat all the way down.

Sagetown, I've never had a problem seating the #10s with the capper. A little thumb pressure on the back of the capper when installing the cap works just right.
