I know Enidine hydrolic buffers were all the rage a few years ago.

Does anybody still run one in their 9mm AR?

How do they stack up to the Slash Q or the Hahn or Spike heavy/long buffers?

The Enidine buffer is designed to work with a locked breech gas system.......It will work in a DI 45 upper where a static buffer of the same weight will prevent the action from cycling. I would advise against the Enidine in a blowback upper......the percieved mass of the bolt diminishes significantly in the 1/2 or so inch of travel the piston in the buffer has before the recoil impulse actually "sees" the extra mass of the buffer.

I use them and like them.

No Issues with out of battery discharge? I have an 80% yellow logic lower and a slickside YL upper that I'm gonna finish up......just have to make a bolt and barrel if the enidine will work good......

After I found that my AR45 uppers would run with one....I was thinking it would be an issue with blowback......but it was just conjecture as I have no blowback AR's.....all my pistol stuff is DI

I've got a carbine length Endine in a lower that I run a 9mm and a 5.56 uppers on without problems. Most times my Rdias is in the mix as well just to kick it up a notch.
