The Wilson Combat 2G Shok-Buff Kit reduces frame battering and extends the service life of 1911 pistols chambered in 45 ACP. This precision-engineered buffer system absorbs slide impact energy that would otherwise transfer directly to the frame rails and receiver.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard polymer buffers that compress and lose effectiveness over time, the Wilson Combat 2G system uses a two-stage design with both soft and firm buffer materials. The silver steel guide rod provides consistent spring compression while the dual-density buffer absorbs varying impact forces throughout the recoil cycle. This combination delivers 40% better shock absorption compared to single-stage alternatives.
Key Features
- Two-stage buffer design with soft and firm density materials for optimal energy absorption
- Precision-machined silver steel guide rod for consistent spring alignment and compression
- Compatible with Government-length 1911 frames in 45 ACP chambering
- Reduces frame stress by up to 40% compared to unbuffered systems
- Easy installation with standard 1911 field stripping tools
- Maintains factory spring specifications and cycling reliability
- Includes complete installation hardware and buffer components
Extended shooting sessions benefit from reduced felt recoil and smoother cycling action. Competition shooters report faster follow-up shots due to decreased muzzle flip, while the system proves equally effective for duty and defensive applications. The buffer materials resist temperature extremes and maintain compression characteristics through thousands of firing cycles.
