Product Overview
DPM Mechanical Recoil Reduction System | Smith & Wesson M&P M2.0 Compact 4"
Overview: The DPM Mechanical Recoil Reduction System is a direct drop-in replacement for the factory recoil/guide rod on Smith & Wesson M&P M2.0 Compact 4" pistols. Featuring DPM’s multi-spring rod architecture, this kit smooths slide travel, cushions slide impact, reduces perceived recoil, and improves follow-up shot speed without modifying your pistol’s configuration.
Compatibility
- Designed for: Smith & Wesson M&P M2.0 Compact (4" barrel)
- Not compatible: M&P Carry Comp 4.22" Barrel
What’s Included
- 1 × DPM multi-spring recoil rod (drop-in)
- 2 × external tuning springs (short & long)
- Installation instructions
How It Works
The DPM system uses a nested multi-spring design. An internal spring moderates the final millimeters of slide travel so the slide never hard-contacts the frame; external springs let the shooter tune closed-slide (battery) resistance. The result: smoother recoil impulse, reduced slide impact stress, and improved control across varied ammunition types.
Power Rates — Slide in the Battery (Closed)
- Short Spring: 8.2 lbs
- Long Spring: 9.0 lbs
Total Force — Slide Full Open Position
- Approx. Total Force: 26 lbs (approx.)
Key Benefits
- Faster follow-up shots — reduced muzzle rise and quicker sight recovery.
- Significant recoil reduction — smoother, more controllable shooting experience.
- Slide & frame protection — buffered travel reduces impact stress and wear.
- Improved reliability — tuned cycling reduces certain malfunctions.
- Adjustability — choose spring length that matches your ammo and setup.
- Lifetime warranty — manufacturer coverage for defects.
Tuning & Installation Notes
- Always clear the firearm and observe safe-handling procedures prior to installation.
- Install per the included instructions. Start with the short spring if unsure, then test and adjust toward the long spring as needed.
- If you run compensators, threaded barrels, or suppressed setups, test function carefully and verify reliable cycling.
- Product components and designs may change; confirm included springs/plugs/washers before tuning.
