Many 1911's now come with recoil buffers, usually taking the form of an internal polymer washer, to cushion the impact of the slide on the frame.
I've been considering installing something similar in my BHP as round count increases, just to extend the pistol's service life.
Looks like there's a simple washer from Buffer Technologies (though it costs 10X what 1911 buffers cost, and supposedly has to be replaced frequently). Then there are more elaborate setups from Sprinco and Shock-Tec.
Has anyone used any of these? And if so, what are your impresssions?
