Product Overview
DPM Mechanical Recoil Reduction System | Springfield XD-M 3.8" (.45 ACP)
Overview: Upgrade your Springfield XD(M) 3.8" (.45 ACP) with the DPM Mechanical Recoil Reduction System, a direct-fit, multi-spring captured guide rod engineered to soften slide impact, reduce felt recoil, and speed follow-up shots. Designed specifically for subcompact platforms, this Slide Extended System uses a spring plug (bushing) to create the space required for the DPM assembly and delivers tunable performance without permanent modifications to the pistol.
Compatibility
- Fits: Springfield XD-M 3.8" .45 ACP (subcompact models requiring slide extension/bushing)
- Model / SKU: MS-SPR/8 | SKU: 1000050
Why Upgrade?
- Smoother recoil impulse: Multi-spring system cushions the slide, limiting violent frame impact.
- Faster follow-up shots: Reduced muzzle rise and recover time for quicker target reacquisition.
- Slide & frame protection: Internal buffering lowers mechanical stress and extends service life.
- Direct replacement: Installs in place of the factory guide rod — no gunsmithing required.
