Well, I've repaired three 1911s that jammed because they disintegrated from use, two were WCs and one was a motor-oil colored generic. Personally, I don't use them as they take up space that keeps your recoil spring from moving the slide back that much. In a properly sprung and operating 1911 the frame and slide never meet anyway so, I have no idea what they're protecting from battering.

Agreed. To the OP, No, I would not use a Shok Buff in a Commander Size 1911. I am pretty doggone positive that Dan Wesson has never used Shok Buffs. Period.

My CQB came with a shok buff (WC makes and sales them!); they work fine in the full size 1911s; I replace them every 500 rounds or so when I see a deep indent (no need; just a habit!). Don't use them in your commander size, Jubz!

They are not needed in any 1911..........just a marketing gimmick!!!

If you choose to use one in a carry gun and if you are engaged in a situation where it is needed the buff could come apart and jam the 1911, not good.

I should not say if it comes apart but I when because it definitely will.
