That's a malfunction just waiting to happen. I wouldn't use those things in any pistol I have. I've had FTRTB issues in 1911's using those "Shok Buffs" before and in a S&W, IMHO, they're all but useless. You're not going to destroy any pistol by not using them. If that were the case, S&W would have provided them or redesigned their pistols.
