That really depends on a lot of factors and is not as simple as one buffer weight/spring is perfect for everyone. There are standard 9mm buffer weights and springs available for mil-spec receiver extensions. Please email us at techsales@opticsplanet.com and we can help you find the appropriate option for you.
