The gun will last far beyond 250-300 thousand rounds in stock form. How many more do you expect the buff will get you?

i know they're both 9 mils but i was thinking alonf the lines of softening recoil.

9mm does not have enough recoil to need softening.

It won't soften the felt recoil so you would not notice the difference.
It would soften the slide end of movement (supposedly) during recoil but it is not a problem to begin with. It also isn't worth the risk of it breaking and going somewhere it doesn't belong.

These will cause the pistol to short stroke, and that may cause the pistol to jam. Avoid them.

Get your grip lined up; it'll do more than a shock buff and won't cause your gun to short stroke.

I have over 100,000 rounds through a G17, I have found no use for a shock buff and the gun is still running fine (a couple of guide rod springs later) LOL.

best advice was just given--spend the $$ on ammo and shoot the Hell out of it.
