The SHOK-BUFF® prevents the slide from battering the frame during recoil by sandwiching a 1/10" thick poly fiber buffer between the slide and frame contact areas. When you are shooting high performance loads in your 1911 style pistol, you want the extra protection that the original SHOK-BUFF® provides.

The SHOK-BUFF® prevents the slide from battering the frame during recoil by sandwiching a 1/10" thick poly fiber buffer between the slide and frame contact areas. When you are shooting high performance loads in your 1911 style pistol, you want the extra protection that the original SHOK-BUFF® provides. One "Imitations" brand on the market claims they are better because their buffer lasts a little longer. The object of the frame to slide buffer is to protect the pistol from wear, if the buffer is not soft enough to take the damage instead of the pistol what have you accomplished? We feel the original SHOK-BUFF® is the optimum balance between shock absorption and longevity. Easily replaceable after absorbing up to 1,000 rounds of repeated firings, the SHOK-BUFF® slides over the recoil spring guide between guide and spring. Why take a chance on an inferior die stamped copy when you can have the original injection molded SHOK-BUFF®? With over 30 years of competition and street proven experience and hundreds of thousands sold, the original SHOK-BUFF® is still the best. Don't be fooled by imitation products, current production Wilson SHOK-BUFF® buffers are royal blue and bear the SHOK-BUFF® name.
NOTE: Due to space constraints we do not recommend SHOK-BUFF® buffers in Colt Officers, Springfield Compact or Para-Ordnance P12 pistols.
Buy these, and try them. You will be amazed of the amount of shock that is absorbed by the Shok-Buff. Its a cheap investment to ensure your fame does not suffer.

I do not know which Sig 1911 model the guy below has but these buffs work on my Sig 1911 TACOPS without any problems. Excellent product too.
- Lee,
great product

I installed a shok-buff kit on my springfield loaded and it has a noticeable difference, great product !! side note though, they will not work on Sig Sauer 1911s because of the tight tolerances. After the slide locks back you cannot return it to battery because the shok-buff will not let the slide come back far enough to release it.

Shok-Buff Amazingness

What a difference! Greatest invention ever to reduce wear on the slide and frame. Great value for the price.
- Anthony Sanders,
Noticably better

It comes down to the fact that these are about $1.70 each. I did not expect much for only spending about $7.00. WOW!!! I got a very pleasant suprise. After 300 rounds, I am still on my first one and they definatley reduce the recoil. The best thing is that they save your weapon from a great deal of wear that comes from just firing it. This is the best money spent on this entire website.

Shock-Buffs will keep your 1911 shooting smoothly for life
Date Posted: 12/8/2010
I purchased a used 1911 several years ago, and it came with a few spare black plastic buffers for the full length guide rod that was installed. I am not sure who made them, but after about 100 rounds or so, the black buffer was totally flat, and after about 200 rounds, the original buffer disintegrated inside the pistol, causing quite a mess.
I replaced the old buffers with Wilson Combat Shock-Buffs, and now the recoil is much less than before. I can feel that the slide is not slamming to the rear as hard as it was before. I know that this simple addition to my pistol will help it last for many years to come. I guess sometimes the little things can make a big difference.

Its No Shock That These Are The Best Shock Buffers!
Date Posted: 11/28/2010
Ive used Wilson Shok-Buffs ever since he started producing them, and its my belief that there are none better anywhere at any price. Shok-Buffs protect your Govt and Commander size frames from the harsh pounding that large calibers dish out. Wilsons Buffs are not just nice, they are a necessity that will add years of life to your 1911. Forget about the other buffers on the market. There is no substitute for the real thing.
- Kevin Hutchison,
Perfect!

I have used a few brands of recoil buffers in my 1911 and the Wilson Combat Shok-Buff® recoil buffers are the best, period.

I love these buffers, I had a cheap rubber one installed when I did my uspsa match, the rubber one couldnt handle it and fragmented all inside my 1911, thus giving me problems. I installed the Wilson Combat Shok-Buff recoil buffers with a new spring and havent looked back.

Cheap insurance
Date Posted: 6/9/2010
I put a lot of rounds down range every week, upwards of 2000. Mixed in with this ammunition is hot factory +P loads. My 1911 really can take a beating with all of this tactical practice. When you spend good money on your 1911, you want to insure that you take every step to protect your firearm from the punishment that these loads can produce. Wilson Combat Shok-Buff Recoil Buffers are the cheapest insurance you can buy, and are among the best on the market. You get a package of 6, enough for 6000 rounds of ammunition. If you want the best protection, insist on the original and best made. Insist on Wilson Combat Shok-Buff Recoil Buffers, you will not be sorry!
