🔧 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.

✅ Key Features

• Multi-spring recoil system for staged energy absorption

• 10 user-adjustable settings for tuning recoil feel and cycling speed

• Drop-in design — no permanent modifications required

• Reduces muzzle flip and protects internal components

• Compatible with 9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP, and 10mm

• Fits Sig Sauer P226 and P220 X‑Five 5" barrel models

• Designed for Competition, Tactical, and Supermatch variants

⚙️ How It Works

The DPM system replaces your standard recoil spring assembly with a captured multi-spring unit and includes three external springs of varying strength, plus an adjustable washer system.

This lets you control slide recoil force and travel distance — so whether you're running light loads or heavy defensive ammo, your pistol remains flat, fast, and protected.
