You pretty much want the reciprocating mass around 21 - 23oz.
I was using a Law folder and had to cut the carrier's internal weight off a bit to fit the adapter for the folder, with an A5H4 buffer I was at 22oz.
Ran like a champ and didn't trash the brass on the way out.
Vltor has dedicated 9mm buffers now up to 10oz I believe.
My 5.56 upper is using an A5 action.
To use The 9mm upper I used a 5/8" nylon spacer for the A5 tube with the A5H4 and green spring.
A regular carbine tube doesn't need a spacer.
