Product Overview
DPM Mechanical Recoil Reduction System | Springfield XD MOD.2 Service 4" (9mm / .40 S&W / .45 ACP)
Overview: Direct-replacement DPM Recoil Reduction Rod engineered for the Springfield XD MOD.2 Service 4" to smooth slide travel, reduce felt recoil, and protect slide & frame components. Tuneable design with 6 user settings lets you match performance to ammunition and shooting preferences.
Key Features

- 6 adjustable user settings: Two spring plugs + three external springs provide a wide tuning window for different loads (9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP).
- Smoother slide action: Multi-spring captured rod controls slide travel so the slide does not impact the frame violently.
- Durability & protection: Reduces component wear and improves long-term reliability of slide and frame.
- Lifetime warranty: Backed by DPM’s lifetime warranty.
