The dpm one only let's the slide go back so far which in turn helps reduce the recoil. So does anyone have one or used one? If so is it actually a noticeable difference in the recoil? Is it just a gimmick?

Be interested in seeing if it actually does what it claims.

Youtube Video Link Sorry, I don't know how to embed the video. I am also in for some first-hand info on this. Was thinking about buying one for my SP-01 Tactical.

I can't really tell if it helped or not. It is nicely constructed and of high quality but as far as cost to benefit I think it is a waste. That being said maybe it helps with + type ammo. Maybe another test but at this time I would say save your money and not buy it.

A device that is noted to not be particularly popular with a group normally obsessed with trying to maximize control over recoil - competitive action pistol shooters.
