Our 6 pack of SHOK-BUFF® recoil buffers is a great and effective solution to protecting your 1911 style pistol during recoil, as it places a 1/10" thick poly fiber buffer between the slide and frame contact areas.

The SHOK-BUFF® is an effective solution for protecting your 1911 style pistol during recoil, as it places a 1/10" thick poly fiber buffer between the slide and frame contact areas. With this innovation in place, you can confidently shoot high performance loads without fear of excess wear to your firearm's frame. Investing in the original SHOK-BUFF® allows you to maximize enjoyment while shooting with peace of mind!

SHOK-BUFF® is the optimal combination of shock absorption and durability, providing your pistol with unparalleled protection from wear. By shielding the gun against damage instead of taking it upon itself, this frame-to-slide buffer ensures that your firearm remains in pristine condition for years to come. There's simply no substitute when it comes to maintaining an effectively functioning handgun! Don't take a risk with cheap, die-stamped copies when you can get the original injection-molded SHOK-BUFF®. This slide is designed to absorb up to 1,000 rounds of repeated firings and stands strong after every firing. With millions sold in 30 years of competition and street tests worldwide, Wilson's royal blue SHOK-BUFF®, bearing its name proudly on each buffer, is still unmatched by any imitation products available today!

  • Pack of 6
  • Prevents the slide from battering the frame during recoil
  • Optimum balance between shock absorption and longevity
  • Easily replaceable
  • Absorbs up to 1,000 rounds of repeated firings
  • Slides over the recoil spring guide between the guide and spring
  • Royal blue and bears the Shok-Buff name

NOTE: SHOK-BUFF® buffers are recommended for full-size (5" barrel) 1911's only. Due to space constraints, we do not recommend their use in compact (less than 5" barrel) 1911's. SHOK-BUFF® recoil buffers can be used with the EDC X9 and SFX9 4" handguns.

    Protection and load checking

    Posted by James on Jul 9th 2023

    Been using these for years in Les Baer, Para, RIA and other full size 1911's. Protection against hot loads and, more to the point, when I am testing a new load I fire a few and examine the buffer; a hard print means I go up 10lbs on the spring (and maybe for next time down .2 grains on the charge). Very useful.

    A Better Shok-Buff

    Posted by Anonymous on Mar 12th 2023

    I just bought a Kimber Raptor II and was given a non-Wilson recoil buffer along with installation instructions and recommendation to buy a supply of Wilson Shok-Buffs for regular use thereafter. The original was cut through after about 300 rounds of standard .45, 185 grain target ammo, but the Shok-Buff replacement still looks near-new after more than twice that much use.

    Great Buffers, But Does Not Work Well With A Kimber.

    Posted by Anonymous on Mar 12th 2023

    I havent shoot my firearms yet with these new parts, but fits great with my Colt 1911 Government and my Springfield LW Operator, but does not work well with my Kimber Custom Stainless II.

    Didnt allow my slide to cycle fully and would not let the mag catch on last round. Just too much space taken up I suppose.

    Shock-Buffs Will Keep Your 1911 Shooting Smoothly For Life

    Posted by Anonymous on Mar 12th 2023

    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.

    Quality

    My 1911 in 45acp came without a shock buff. It sure make a world of difference and comfort with these. I will never go without again.

    Great Product And Inexpensive

    Posted by G Dubbya on Mar 19th 2021

    The original Shok Buff makes me more confident I'm doing all I can to keep my full-size 1911s running smoothly with less wear and tear. Now I just need Shok Buffs that'll fit between my C3-C4, and C4-C5

    Dropped In My Ria And Para Ordnance Perfectly Wih No Issues

    Posted by Kevin on Mar 22nd 2017

    I have a Rock Island Full Size and a Para Ordnance Commander. The Shock Buff fit perfect in both of my .45 ACPs with no slide lock issues. I can, both, rack the slide to go into battery or use the slide lock. I did notice that the added girth of the shock buff to the guide-rod does put a little bit more pressure to the recoil spring.
