Devildog,
From my own experience, I have never had a problem with a recoil buffer, but I changed them out every 1K or so. I stopped using buffers because I didn't see where they were helping function at all. I also run 18.5 pound springs-the Wolf variable type, and it seems to give me good function with a wide variety of loads, soft to heavy.
From what I have heard, if the buffer starts falling apart, it can tie your pistol up.
Other folks have reported that after they installed a buffer, the slide did not travel its full length anymore and they had issues with ejecting loaded rounds from the chamber.
I have not experienced this myself, but I suppose it could happen depending on the thickness of the spring guide flange.
Hey-if it works for you and shows improvement, run it!
