L-10_shooter Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 I have been thinking about getting a shock buffer for my G35 shooting major power factor. For those of you that have used them, do they change the way the gun handles, prolongs the life of the frame, reduces recoil? Any info and/or experiences would be apreciated.

Joe D Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Waste of time and money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micah Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Waste of money and time. Glocks do not need shock buffs...especially to prolong the life of the slide and frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L-10_shooter Posted May 14, 2009 Author Share Posted May 14, 2009 I was wondering with a polymer frame. I know lots of people with 1911s have buffers but that is for a steel frame. I am glad I inquired here. Thanks for the input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotm4 Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Waste of time and money. +1 and they often make pistols unreliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puma Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 I have been thinking about getting a shock buffer for my G35 shooting major power factor. For those of you that have used them, do they change the way the gun handles, prolongs the life of the frame, reduces recoil? Any info and/or experiences would be apreciated. I use a buffer on my 35 together with a non captured tungsten guide rod and 15 pound spring and I think that it reduces recoil. At the very least this combination of buffer/heavy guide rod and lighter spring definitely leads to a quicker and smoother cycle........but then again this just might be psychological. You are just going to have try it for yourself. Puma Pumagsd@yahoo.com Miami, FL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spray_N_Prey Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 yeah waste of time and if you have a gun that's reliable and want it to start having problems, throw in a shock-buff. I know my 1911 was very reliable UNTIL came a shock-buff, sure made it jam mag after mag. For a Glock??? ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawdawg112 Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 I tried one twice in my G22 and they don't do anything for recoil. Honestly I think it caused more malfunctions than anything. The last one cracked bad on each side as well after a couple hundred rounds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Keen Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 There is nothing wrong with shok-buffs. They are just like a recoil spring, or any other part on your gun for that matter ... you cant let it go for 50,000 rounds without changing it, or at the very least checking it once in a while. I use a shok-buff on all my guns, and I dont have any jams. My gun runs fast, flat, and very soft. I dont think I would use one on a Glock, but to each his own. Let the guy try one if he wants to.

Harmon Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 the glock pistol needs every bit of its slide stroke for reliable function. shorten it with a buff and you will eventually run into problems. especially after the mag springs weaken.

L-10_shooter Posted May 19, 2009 Author Share Posted May 19, 2009 I will spend the money on mare bullets, sounds like a waste. Besides why fix it when its not broken? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DVC247 Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 I have used the shok buff designed for Glocks that fits on the front bottom of the slide where the spring fits in--if anyone makes a 1911 shok buff that fits on the base of the recoild spring guide rod I haven't found it. FYI, the above king (I think made by Buffer Tech) cracked in very short order--they're hard plastic, much harder than a Wilson 1911 Shok-Buf.
