on Ubertis (and others), and if you do, how do you deal with them?

I have known folk shooting original Colts who say they never have such jams, even with same caps, when using original/vintage nipples/vents giving me the impression something is off as to modern counterparts as for the vents.

For me, no matter what caps used, to include German imports, cap jams are far more common than ever going through a cylinder without a jam. Any recommended "sure cure" has never been one for me. And I love the open-top Colt style and were it not for the cap jams, would happily use them for most revolver needs.
