I use the colt 5.5 9mm buffer for the heavier stuff..........for average shooting I usually go with a stock 5.56 buffer and spring. Rule of thumb....if you start having a fail to or weak ejection, go lighter. You just have to feel the recoil and let the gun tell you what it needs. If you have something REALLY brutal give me a call...we can always do somethng custom.
