Product Overview
DPM Mechanical Recoil Reduction System | Glock 19 / 19X / 23 / 32 / 45 / 47 (Gens 4–5) | Captured Version
Overview: The DPM Mechanical Captured Recoil Reduction System is a drop-in captured recoil rod engineered to replace the factory guide rod on Glock Gens 4–5 pistols (Glock 19, 19X, 23, 32, 45, 47). It delivers substantially increased buffer force at full slide travel to reduce harsh slide impact, lower felt recoil, and protect slide & frame components for longer service life.
Compatibility
- Primary fit: Glock 19, Glock 19X, Glock 23, Glock 32, Glock 45, Glock 47 — Generations 4 & 5.
- Fitment note: Direct replacement for the factory recoil rod — no permanent modifications required in most factory-configured pistols.
What's Included
- Captured DPM recoil rod (drop-in replacement)
- Pre-installed/supplied springs and necessary hardware (per model kit)
- Installation instructions and lifetime warranty information
Performance / Power Rates
- Slide in battery (closed): 10 lbs (approx.)
- Slide at full open position (total buffer force): 24 lbs (approx.) — nearly double the factory end-of-travel force
Key Benefits
- Reduced felt recoil for faster sight recovery and improved follow-up shot accuracy.
- Smoother slide closure that reduces impact on the frame and slide rails.
- Component protection — buffers violent slide impacts to extend the life of slide & frame parts.
- Improved reliability under a wide range of ammunition and operating conditions.
- Lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects.
Use Cases & Tuning
- Ideal for duty/competition pistols, compensator-equipped slides, or threaded barrels where softening slide impact is desired.
- If you have modifications (compensators, threaded barrels, slide cuts, etc.), contact DPM via info@TerranGearUSA.com to confirm optimal setup or custom options.
- Always function-check and test-fire safely after installation to confirm reliability.
Installation & Safety Notes
- Disassemble and reassemble firearms only in a safe, unloaded condition and follow manufacturer instructions.
- Follow supplied DPM installation instructions; if unsure, have a qualified gunsmith install the system.
- For compensator/suppressor setups, verify headspace and overall function with that exact configuration before duty use.
