Recoil Buffers

Anybody have any info on these.  What they say makes sense but does it work.  I'm not worried about wearing out the gun but am interested in anything that will lessen the recoil.

Tks

Considering people have run thousands of rounds through their guns without issue leads me to believe it's a waste of money.

There are a few inherent issues with recoil buffers like these. As far as i have gathered they tend to cause more issues than they are worth in the long run. Even in the case of the CZ 75 Tactical Sport in 40 S&W that comes with a recoil buffer installed, many shooter choose to pull them out and not use them.

Adjusting the load you are shooting and or the recoil/hammer spring weights may be a better way to reduce felt recoil. I am also interested to hear what other forums members have to say on the matter.
Will work for CZ pics! (including but not limited to all CZ clones)

Real shooters laugh at recoil.

chances are you new to guns and the recoil you dont like is just from not being use to it or not knowing how to handle it.

Don't think of it as "resisting" the recoil, but "go with the flow". 

Also, when it comes to recoil buffers like those they may work but when they decide to fall apart in your gun while youre shooting, you won't like them or having to deal with one.  Also, murphys law comes to mind.

You can swap out recoil springs to match the loads youre shooting or the other way around as mentioned.

also, the heavier the bullet, the more recoil.  Remember one of newtons law.
