foo.c Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Anyone running this combo? I installed the rod and buff and it kept the slide stop from working. Took the buff out and it works again. I normally don't run a shock buff, but this is a 10mm and I decided to try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
475480 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 (edited) I just put 1 (shock buff only)on my Lim Elite 10 and Lim Pro 38 Super but have not shot them . Bow season has started in Texas so I am on stand right now. I hope they run as advertised . Sean Edited October 2, 2014 by 475480 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intercooler2 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 It's possible that it won't let it engage (BTDT). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
475480 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 With the shock buffer installed only , my Lim Elite 10 mm ran perfect , only had time for about 50 rounds. Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intercooler2 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Just curious how the OP had his installed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foo.c Posted October 6, 2014 Author Share Posted October 6, 2014 Just curious how the OP had his installed? Put the buff on the rod with the little cut out part facing up, then the spring, then install like normal. It works, just won't allow for the slide stop to engage.

What Caliper and Recoil spring are you using? You mean caliber? It's 10mm. Otherwise, I'm not sure what you are asking. It's the factory spring. Has about 50 rounds on it.

Nealio Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 So you can't get the slide stop to engage when you pull the slide back by hand, or this is only when your mag runs dry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't tried it shooting yet, but I don't see how that could work either. I think it stops the slide from its full length of travel. Maybe it needs to shot to squish the buff some?

AFguywhoshoots Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 This is from Henning's website: We only recommend using the shock buffers as a way to reduce impact stress on the practice range. For carry and competition, any consumable such as a shock buffer may be unreliable. Due to the size of the shock buffer and the reduced rear travel (0.080") caused by the shock buffer, the slide may or may not lock back on empty. There are modifications that can be done to the slide stop etc to ensure rear locking, but as mentioned, we recommend shock buffers as a training tool only. It states there that the slide may not stay locked back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intercooler2 Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Here are my results running 10mm today ;D New Henning brass shok-buff after 50 rounds of Underwood 180gr TMJ, 30 rounds of LAX 180gr FMJ and 25 rounds of Precision Cartridge 180gr LRN I had stoppages at all three power levels. My opinion is just run the spring for the load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nealio Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Um looks like you need a heavier spring and/or that Sprinco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intercooler2 Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 I gave a Sprinco a try and was mixed on how I liked it. This Limited has a 20lb spring which functions about perfect with up to 700lb. loads. When I run something that gets above that I plop in the 22lb. spring. When I have tried the shok-buffs in different pistols I always find they experience some stoppages at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nealio Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 That shock buff looks like its getting hit hard. I tried to get my slide to not touch the frame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
