ED BROWN - Slide Buffers, 6 pack

I understand a lot of guys and girls are a little nervous about putting something like this in their 1911 but the funny part about it is a lot of manufacturers are actually installing these in the firearms before you even get it, it has slowly become an industry standard. so to be honest there's nothing to worry about these do work well it's just an insurance policy that helps protect your 1911 from beating itself to death.

I don't feed my 1911 A1 a constant diet of +P, but I do carry them for self Defense and keep in practice with them. I use the 18.5 lb. Recoil spring and matching firing pin spring, and these buffers. The 1911A1 I shot on a regular basis for over 30 years never had any slide or frame damage. It was stolen from me, and I bought RIA 1911A1 with a full length guide rod, and I put in the same Springs, and these buffers in my new gun. It functions perfectly, and no frame or slide damage. After over 30 years of use, I totally recommend these buffers in your gun, and they do hold up a lot time. Be sure to keep some on hand. Very cheap insurance to protect your 1911 A1.

I used these on a pt1911 9mm with a 10lb recoil spring and the gun would not cycle completely. Not sure if the thickness of the pad had somethinhg to do with it or not, but I removed it first and the gun ran flawlessly from then on. Im just writing this for the next guy to save some money if they run a set up like mine. The product looked great and this brand is a great brand thus the 5 stars. Ill just give them to a friend with a 45.

I purhaced these buffs for my Rockisland 1911 A1 Tactical 45acp. I have used these shok buffs and found they only last upto 200 rounds max then they are pretty shot after using max loads. I am going to try the Wilson Combat buffs as they are polyfiber not just polyuethane and see if they last longer. Good luck on using these as they may be ok with light loads and a 18+ lb. recoil spring, mine is stock but I am going to change my spring. They do seem to help with recoil shock thats felt.
