🔧 Built for Precision & Performance
If you run your P226 or P220 X‑Five hard — whether in matches or tactical scenarios — you know that controlling recoil and slide speed is key. The DPM system uses a multi-spring recoil assembly that absorbs and stages energy during slide travel, giving you a smoother, flatter shooting experience.
This model includes user-adjustable components that let you fine-tune your setup with up to 10 different configurations — no gunsmithing needed.
