Recoil Reaper™ — Patented Hydraulic Buffer
The Recoil Reaper™ is a hydraulic buffer system designed collaboration with KynSHOT, and exclusively distributed by Jacob Grey. Designed to set a new standard for recoil management and slide control. Where traditional recoil systems rely on simple spring compression, the Recoil Reaper harnesses hydraulic damping technology to convert recoil energy into controlled, fluid motion. This results in a dramatic reduction in felt recoil, smoother cycling, and faster sight recovery, all without compromising the timing, reliability, or integrity of your firearm.
Every detail of the Recoil Reaper™ was built for shooters who demand consistency. The sealed hydraulic core eliminates the sharp metal-to-metal impact that’s common in spring-only systems, absorbing shock before it ever reaches your hand. This means a smoother impulse, steadier muzzle control, and a noticeable difference in follow-up accuracy, whether you’re on the range, in competition, or pushing your pistol through heavy use.
The result isn’t just softer recoil. It’s a new level of mechanical balance. A firearm that tracks flatter, returns faster, and runs cleaner. That’s what the Recoil Reaper™ was made for: less shock, more control, and absolute confidence in every cycle.

Why It Matters
A hydraulic buffer doesn’t erase recoil, it manages it. By absorbing and redistributing energy through a sealed fluid system, the Recoil Reaper™ keeps your slide cycle consistent and your sights steadier. It’s the difference between fighting recoil and mastering it.
If your Jacob Grey model uses our buffer system, it’s a direct fit. For others, check dimensions or contact Helpdesk for compatibility.
