Wilson Combat’s SHOK-BUFF (part no. 700B) is a slide buffer that slips over the recoil spring of a Beretta 92, protecting the frame’s slide-stop contact surface from the battering that adds up over thousands of rounds. Wilson Combat injection molds it, rather than die-cutting it like cheaper alternatives, from a 1/10-inch-thick polymer that slows slide impact and cuts felt recoil and muzzle flip. It’s especially worth running if you shoot high-velocity or +P-rated ammunition through a 92-style pistol during practice, where the extra slide velocity accelerates frame wear the most.
