DJPoLo Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 I have just had our Springfield P9's frame cut up and lightened and put in a light recoil spring. I love the way this gun cycles now but I'm concerned about shooting major loads in it. I'd like to add a shok-buff to the recoil system. Is Buffer Technologies the only company that makes them for this gun? They're pricey ($9.95 each). -Chet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianH Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 I made some for my P9 a few years ago, then made a bunch for they guy who bought it; I guess he really liked them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpolans Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 The previous owner took regular 1911 shock buffs and bored out the hole so it fit over the spring. He thin slid this on (snug fit). Looks like it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jody Waring Posted March 20, 2004 Share Posted March 20, 2004 Sprinco makes a recoil reducer for these guns, and I would suspect that it would help reduce the abuse you are worried about. Eric Grauffel is using Sprinco in his Open and Standard guns,.. so if he's using them My Open gun has provisions made to use 1911-type guiderods, springs and shok-buffs. I think the Buffer Tech. for the CZ will work for you, but myself, I would not run too light of a recoil spring for major loads at least. I think the lightest I've gone is 11-12 lbs, and normally run a 13. WCPI used to have recoil springs rated for "Major" I doubt you will find any, but check with George at EGW as I think he carries something similar.

Yardbird Posted March 20, 2004 Share Posted March 20, 2004 A previous owner had allowed some serious frame and slide battering in my P9 but I run a 16 lb. spring and don't see any more damage occurring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harmon Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 id go with the sprinco system...that buffer doesnt need replacing.. keep the PF on this side of sane, and it will last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bountyhunter Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 The previous owner took regular 1911 shock buffs and bored out the hole so it fit over the spring. He thin slid this on (snug fit). Looks like it works. Ditto. I did the same for my CZ and my SIG. Interesting because the folks who make the replacement (slim) guide rod /spring for the Beretta and Sig (Buffer Technologies I think?) said they didn't offer a basic SHOK-buff for a SIG because there was not enough room to fit it in. Glad I didn't know that because I have been shooting one in mine for months that I cut from a 1911 buffer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dream Posted September 18, 2004 Share Posted September 18, 2004 I second the vote for the springco they do there job keeping the gun from beating its self to death Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
