Recoil reduction spring contraption system, thoughts?

[becket]

Anyone tried a DPM recoil reduction guide rod and recoil springs system for any caliber from .380 and up? Just wondering, know nothing about it till’ I saw it for sale on eBay recently. Maybe it is supposed to help with followup shots on snappy .40/.380/.357 Sig calibers; or just a cleverly marketed money pit once you have nothing left to tinker with?

I am not familiar with DPM unit but found this review - https://www.glockforum.com/threads/dpm-recoil-reduction-system-for-glock-43.42774/

Here's my dual spring recoil reducer with solid guide rod I used for Glock 22 to tame the snappy recoil of 40S&W when I shot USPSA matches next to factory captive recoil spring assembly.

Intent was for the secondary stiffer smaller spring to compress instead of slide slapping on the frame lock reducing muzzle flip. Reduction in muzzle flip was not only perceivable but observable.

HK USP has a factory concentric spring buffer. That lets them use a 12lb main recoil spring in 9mmP and .40 S&W with excess recoil or beating the frame to death.

I have a Sprinco recoil reducer in my FEG High Power. I like it. Quicker follow up shots.

I put one in my Glock 26 and the result is less felt recoil and continuing 100% reliability. What I did is have me and my 2 sons shoot it at the range, then put the DPM rod in and compare. All 3 of us 'felt' less recoil.
I did it for a bunged up RH wrist and thumb.

I DID try a tungsten one from Glock store and slide wouldn't go all the way back into battery..so sold it.

I has one of the Springco ones in my XD-40 Tactical. I tried it for two or three matches and got rid of it. It did soften recoil but it also made the gun recoil weird and made follow up shots much slower. Sold it.

Things like that don't really lessen recoil, but they spread out the recoil forces over a longer period of time. Which FEELS like it is less recoil. Even a fraction of a second can make a difference. That is basically the same thing a recoil pad does on a rifle or shotgun. Gas operated semiauto rifles and shotguns feel like they have less recoil than other designs for the same reason.

Thanks I get it; would be worth a try I think on snappy rounds like .40, .357 Sig, and such. Maybe even .380 with modern smaller, lighter compact and sub-compact carry guns (read Polymer vs stainless ) . Modern to me is anything post Glock intro, lol.

Never heard of them.. Probably nothing more than a metal guide rod and reduced recoil spring. Which can be picked up separately.
