🔧 What's Included in the Kit?
The DPM system is more than just a recoil spring — it's a recoil tuning platform designed to upgrade every shot. Inside the kit, you'll find:
-
Multi-stage recoil guide rod with internal spring system
-
4 external recoil springs of different lengths and resistance levels
-
2 gold-coated springs (1.00mm) – softer for lighter ammo or faster return
-
2 silver-coated springs (1.10mm) – stiffer for heavy loads or added control
-
Fully drop-in ready for the CZ Shadow 2 Compact with 4" barrel
Each component is built with precision, durability, and shooter adjustability in mind.
💡 How It Works
Unlike a stock guide rod, the DPM system uses three interacting springs to reduce slide impact, control travel speed, and eliminate frame battering. The system absorbs energy during recoil and manages return-to-battery timing to give you:
-
Flatter shooting performance
-
Faster target reacquisition
-
Reduced wear on internal components
-
Enhanced accuracy during follow-up shots
-
Better feel under both light and hot loads
The third spring inside the rod prevents the slide from slamming into the frame — giving you a smoother cycle and extending the life of your pistol.
🔄 Tuning Options for Different Loads

---|---|
Factory 115gr–124gr | Gold long spring |
Competition soft loads | Gold short spring |

Swap springs in minutes and fine-tune your pistol based on your shooting conditions — it’s performance personalization made simple.
