I've added more to the buffers section on the info page. First off: if you have a PD you need a buffer. This is not optional, and if you haven't changed the buffer on your gun or aren't sure, then it is time to read the rest of this and get one right away.
The buffer is required to keep down frame battering not just because aluminum, but short slide. Note how modern compact pistols work, with their multiple springs. Same thing, different answer, and they also have fairly short spring replacement cycles. Which people also ignore, and their guns don't even work then. Short slides are finicky, maintain them.
Anyway, the buffers for years were unavailable, the Jack First made them, then he went out of business but now The Gun Garage does them again. Unclear if the same ones (since Jack First was selling that business) or a new product, but same effect.
I also have added notes about faking it with a 1911 buffer if you want to do that instead.
