    I've got an early M&P made by STAG. I just switched from an H buffer(put that in my middy) and got a RRA 9mm buffer. Shoots very smooth with hardly any muzzle rise. I ran about 200 rounds of Wolf 55gr through it a few weeks ago in 20 degree weather and everything functioned fine. I've had the H buffer in it for about 3 years without any problems also. I would bet the OP just had an isolated problem round. The H2 should be fine with the semi auto carrier. David

    I think a H buffer would be fine in the S&W but the H2 might be to much.

    How would you know that the H2 is too much? What is the basis for your opinion?

    So you are basically running an H3 buffer in your S&W without issue?


    I have run H2's in Colt's just fine, then again, I shoot Hornady TAP practice.

    You didn't have an issue. You had a round chamber, but not go bang. This could be from a bad primer (you do not know). This could very well have happend with the bone stock buffer or an H buffer or an H3 buffer.

    Put some more rounds through the weapon (or at least break it in which is 500rds) and get back to us.

    I could run an H3 buffer in your gun and have no issues (FYI).

    The shell didnt seat in the chamber all the way, which looks like to me the bolt didnt go forward fast enouph to chamber the round due to the slowdown of the H2 buffer.

    Buddy, do you understand that the H2 buffer has more mass moving forward than your car buffer??? This means that it has WAY more force and if it couldn't chamber the round, then the car buffer never could.

    Now, the signs for a gun that is either under gassed or has a buffer that is too heavy is short stroking. If your bolt will not lock back, then you have an issue.


    I am about 99% certain that I could run an H3 buffer in your gun without issue (let alone an H2).
