The Spikes Tactical 9mm Buffer Spacer was designed for someone who already owns a 9mm buffer like the one offered by RRA or Colt and doesn’t want to replace it with another expensive custom buffer. It limits the travel of your 9mm bolt, helps eliminate the chance of breaking bolt catches, and makes for a much smoother shooting gun.
