The Wilson Combat Shok-Buff Recoil Buffer for 1911 Government is a pack of six polyurethane impact pads designed to protect your slide and frame from battering during recoil. If you shoot high-performance loads or put serious rounds downrange, these small but essential components absorb the punishment that comes with magnum ammunition or full-power loads. The Shok-Buff sits between the slide and frame contact points, taking the hit so your pistol's steel doesn't have to.
Built from injection-molded polyurethane, each buffer is a 1/10" thick poly fiber disc engineered to be easily swapped out when it wears. With a lifespan of roughly 1,000 rounds per buffer, a six-pack gives you substantial protection for serious shooters and competitors. Whether you're running a tricked-out competition gun, a carry 1911, or a no-nonsense range beater, these buffers are a proven way to extend the life of your frame and slide where they meet during the recoil cycle.
Wilson Combat's Shok-Buff is simple, effective, and affordable insurance against the cumulative wear that high-round-count shooting inflicts on any 1911. Toss a pack in your range bag or keep spares in your toolbox—when a buffer shows signs of flattening, replacement takes seconds.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will Shok-Buff buffers fit my 1911?
These buffers are designed for 1911 Government models. They fit between the slide and frame at the contact points where recoil wear occurs. If you own a different 1911 variant, verify compatibility with Wilson Combat or the manufacturer.
How often do I need to replace them?
Each buffer is rated for approximately 1,000 rounds of shooting. Once a buffer begins to flatten or compress noticeably, swap it out for a fresh one. With six buffers in a pack, you have plenty on hand before needing to reorder.
Do I need tools to install or replace them?
No. The Shok-Buff buffers are easily replaceable without special tools. Disassembly and reassembly of your 1911 is the only requirement.
Why use recoil buffers with high-performance loads?
Magnum and full-power loads generate more recoil energy. Shok-Buff pads absorb that impact at the slide-to-frame interface, reducing wear, battering, and potential frame damage over time—especially important if you shoot high-round-count sessions or competition.
