🔧 Why Upgrade to a DPM Multi-Spring System?
Factory guide rods are simple — and they work. But if you’re pushing your pistol hard on the range or in competition, you’ll notice more felt recoil, slower follow-up shots, and increased wear on internal parts. The DPM system solves that.
This isn’t just a spring swap — it’s a fully engineered multi-stage system that controls slide velocity, absorbs impact energy, and returns your slide to battery smoothly and quickly.

⚙️ How It Works
The DPM system includes a captured recoil assembly with multiple internal springs and an adjustable external spring system. As your slide cycles, the springs absorb energy in stages, reducing recoil impulse and softening the return to battery. The result is a flatter-shooting pistol with better overall control.

357 sig and 40s&w
I have a p226 with a swap 357 sig to 40S&W with a simple barrel change. Either will now work flawlessly with the triple spring action. Expensive, yea Indulgent, yea Go without.... no way.
