vaquero Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 I would like to know what are the Wild Bunch shooters opinions about using a recoil spring buffer? You know that 1/8 inch thick piece that fits on the recoil spring guide. I have always used them, and replace after they get beat up. I had a discussion with my gunsmith about them and he said they can cause some problems if they are oversized they can crack the dust cover. I removed mine the other day, shot the gun and didn't notice any change, and I didn't replace it. Just some thoughts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vaquero Posted February 7, 2020 Author Share Posted February 7, 2020 I had the buffer in my 1911 for 35 years never had any problems............but if there was/is a chance for a malfunction, I like to try and defeat Murphys law, anytime I get a chance to. Buffers are now in the trash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
