WILSON COMBAT
1911 SHOK-BUFF RECOIL SYSTEM

Improves Accuracy, Functioning; Elimnates Frame Cracking From Recoil

Easy-to-install kit instantly improves cycling, reliability and accuracy without modifying the frame or the slide. Exclusive, injection-molded, polyfiber buffers slip onto the guide rod be- tween the head and spring and keep the slide from hitting the frame. Prevents expensive frame damage and softens the felt recoil of high power competition loads. Full-length guide rod keeps the recoil spring straight for smoother functioning and longer spring life. Together they provide consistent barrel lockup and increased accuracy.

SPECS: Kit includes 416 stainless steel one-piece, full-length guide rod and plug, 6 Shok-Buff washers, 1 light recoil spring, 1 heavy recoil spring, 1 extra power firing pin return spring. Fits 1911 Auto models and calibers listed only.

Doesnt fit (12/05/2012)

Just purchased a new 1911 commander, trying to do some upgrades and these "drop in" upgrades never fit right. The guide for the main spring is toooooo long. I cant get the cap or retainer to swivel over the guide because its about 1/8 to long. Im waiting to be contacted. Hopefully it was just a wrong part mistake as i' m pretty excited about my new gun.

For my ATI 4.25" (18/12/2014)

I had to put it in the lathe and trim a little bit off then chamfer it for a smooth assembly. After a little fitting it took an ATI with a 4" grouping at 15 yards and sloppy recoil into a very nice shooter. Put 5 rounds in the same hole at 20 yards with factory ammunition.

Great product (07/10/2017)

I Installed in my Springfield Mil Spec. It was a dropin installation & really helped with accuracy & reduced recoil.

Easy install, excellent control (31/10/2009)

Installed in less than 5 minutes. Shot before and after install. Noticed a marked difference in recoil and in turn shot placement.

Great value, easy installation! (09/11/2009)

Really tightened up my gun, and grouping improved! You get a lot for the money, with a great company name behind it!

Firestorm 1911 likey (23/12/2010)

Works great in 2 of my 1911 Firestorm Govt. .45 acp

Excellent value (08/01/2012)

Best, most affordable upgrade you can do without a gunsmith. Instantly improves accuracy, reduces recoil, and makes the .45 a pleasure to shoot all day long.

Great drop-in product. (18/01/2012)

Bought this four months ago with 5,000 rounds through it to-date.
Really like this product but .... be advised that once installation is complete....you will no-longer be able to just pop your slide off in a few short seconds unless you have thumbs-of-steel. The guide-rod-plug has sharp edges and even after some gentle-stoning it is strongly advised that you use a good barrel bushing wrench so you will save the end of your thumb for another-day !!
Functionality of the FLGR is great, recoil is milder with the proper spring selection and it gives me piece-of-mind knowing the recoil spring is properly captured and functioning better than stock setup. Takes more time to reassemble however that's worth the performance-increase. Looks-sweet when the slide is locked back !!!

Worth the money. (29/04/2012)

I picked this kit up at a gun show today for my AMC American Classic II just to see if it made a difference and I would have to say it did. It cycles smoother and seems to be a little more accurate as it keeps everything locked up tighter. It can be a little bit of a pain to put together but nothing too big of a deal. I am happy with it.

great product (02/11/2012)

if you can clean your gun, you can install this part. I bought this mostly to combat frame battering. it seemed to have smoothed my gun up quite a bit, and has notably less muzzle flip. I'd definately buy this again if i had a second 1911.

wc SHOK-BUFF RECOIL SYSTEM (07/12/2012)

EASY INSTALL, EXCELLENT QUALITY, GREAT VALUE, WORKS PERFECTLY

Seems to work , Gun feels tight & smooth (02/05/2014)

Haven't shot the gun yet, feels tight and smooth.
Put it in a 68 llama 1911, great fit. Going this weekend to see how it works.

Must Buy for 5in 1911 (21/06/2014)

Installing this into your governemnt 1911 is like a pro working over your gun. Just bought a 2nd guide rod kit for my friends P14. Installed my guide rod into the P14 just to check it out, wow what a difference it make for it too. Recommend you lube the rails with high quality bearing grease and work it back and forth a 100 times or so. Did this for my SA GI stainless model and its so smooth I call it my cheap race gun. Take care, Mr. K
