Recoil reduction springs

A recoil reduction system replaces the factory recoil spring and guide rod with a multi-spring rod. It softens the recoil, keeps the muzzle flatter for faster follow-up shots and protects the slide and frame. Here you find DPM recoil reduction systems, made in Greece, for many CZ pistols.

How to tune it

The interchangeable external springs and buffer tubes let you match the system to your ammunition. Use a softer setup for light loads and a stronger setup for full power loads. Test the pistol with your ammunition after every change, so the slide cycles reliably.

For regular recoil springs and calibration packs, see Springs.

Frequently asked questions

Can I install a DPM system in my CZ at home?

Yes. It replaces the factory recoil spring and guide rod, which you remove when you field strip the pistol.

Which DPM spring should I use in my CZ?

It depends on your ammunition. Start with the springs recommended for your load, then test. If the slide does not lock back or eject reliably, use a softer setup.
