Shot Buff in Commander?

I have tried them in the past. Not really needed, thought it was a good idea. Not anal enough to keep track of # of rds fired when it stated to show any wear.
( impression mark noted on the buffer pad) One I had cracked.. probably left it in too long, shot hotter loads (?)
I experiment with so many bullets, powders, etc not usually hot loads, but sometimes I do. My recent experience is with light weight 9mm bullets, those 50gr JHP's & 65 gr ARX composite pills get pushed fast..but due to their light weight, almost no recoil..
I believe they've ( buffer pads) been removed from all my 1911's, per the advice of my gunsmith.
