Buffers

A buffer sits on the recoil spring guide rod and softens the impact of the slide on the frame. It reduces wear and makes the recoil feel softer. Buffers wear out, so it is good to keep spares. Here you find sets of buffers from CZ, KMR and Eemann Tech for the Shadow 2, TS 2, CZ 75B and SP-01 Shadow.

• CZ set with three thick and two thin buffers.
• KMR set with five thick buffers.
• Eemann Tech set with five thin 2 mm buffers, and sets of five competition buffers for the Shadow 2 family and for the TS 2.

Eemann Tech states a service life of about 1 000 rounds for its competition buffers, depending on the ammunition and springs. For springs, see Springs.

Frequently asked questions
