DPM recoil spring assemblies. Gimmick, or effective?

Saw these and I wondered if they were worth a look. My follow-up shots are not great and my recoil spring is quite stiff.

These might make my shooting smoother or perhaps the money I'd save in not getting one could go on 500rds of ammo which might go further to improving my follow-ups....

What do you think of them?

Any first hand experience?
 
The only reduced recoil spring Assy.s I know anything about, since I bought two of them for my Walther P99&PPQ both 9mm.
Is the ones from Sprinco USA www.sprinco.com Phone: 512-331-8797 e-mail info@sprinco.com The owner is Allen Dugger.
His products really work and he will give you the correct information regarding his products.
 
I have a Sprinco recoil system for the CZ-75B/75 which came with a gun I bought used.

Seems to work, but it's a bit like gilding the lily, as most 9mms (and a full-size steel-framed CZ is heavier than most) arguably don't have enough recoil to justify their use. Note: If someone has health issues, like arthritis in hands or wrists, or similar problems, THAT may be justification enough.

I'd offer you my Sprinco unit at a BIG discount, as it's been setting unused for 7-8 years, but I realize that probably won't work: as you're across the pond from me and import/export issues will get in the way.

None of these systems really reduce recoil -- they just change the recoil experience, stretching or shortening the recoil impulse in ways that some shooters find more tolerable or appropriate for their purposes. (Some competitive shooters use these and other devices in conjunction with other parts or methods to allow them to shoot lighter loads, or to speed up slide cycling, etc.)

If too much felt recoil is an issue, you might get similar results by trying different weight recoil springs. Wolff Springs -- if you can get stuff from them directly or indirectly -- offers a recoil calibration pack, and I think they also have a variable rate spring that changes the recoil experience. STIFF recoil springs are a pain, and I try to avoid them.

For most guns (a heavier recoil spring isn't protecting the gun, no matter what load you're shooting.)

I bough mine because I did not like the Walther OEM non metal recoil spring Assys. Also for using with +P Ammo.
If at that time the new HK VP9 had been out for sale, I would not have bought the Walthers, as the HK VP9 has some IMHO better Engineered and Designed parts. One is an all metal recoil spring Assy.

One item the Sprinco Assy. does cause is it takes a lot of effort to rack the slide. As their springs are a lot stronger then the OEM springs.

As posted above a more cost effective way to address the recoil, is to get other weight springs and do some testing.
 
Thanks for the replies and the offers.

However, Sprinco is not a brand I can buy. I was looking at DPM. It does seem that they all do something similar, so if the Sprinco experience is comparable to the DPM one, that is useful to know.
 
I have read a lot of replies to posts in regards, to the DPM systems and they have been good. So I would get one and see if it works for you.
