The Strike Industries GSB Shock Buffer reduces felt recoil and muzzle flip in Glock Gen3 pistols through advanced polyurethane construction. This drop-in upgrade absorbs impact energy during the firing cycle, delivering smoother operation and faster follow-up shots.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard polymer buffers that crack under repeated stress, the GSB uses medical-grade polyurethane rated for over 10,000 rounds. The material maintains consistent compression characteristics across temperature ranges from -20°F to 150°F. Traditional buffers often fail after 2,000-3,000 rounds, requiring frequent replacement and potentially damaging the frame.
Key Features
- Medical-grade black polyurethane construction resists cracking and deformation
- Reduces felt recoil by approximately 15-20% compared to unbuffered systems
- Direct drop-in installation for all Glock Gen3 models (17, 19, 22, 23, 26, 27, 34, 35)
- Maintains factory reliability while extending frame life
- Temperature stable from -20°F to 150°F for consistent performance
- Rated for 10,000+ round service life under normal use
- Black finish matches factory Glock aesthetics
Competitive shooters report faster split times and improved accuracy during rapid-fire sequences. Law enforcement agencies appreciate the reduced wear on duty weapons during high-volume training. The buffer absorbs slide impact without affecting ejection timing or brass pattern consistency. Installation requires no tools or permanent modifications to the pistol.
