I recently purchased a DPM Mechanical recoil reduction system for my Glock 17. It is a very high qualitysystem that replaces the polymerguide rod and singlerecoil spring system in the G17. They offer a magneto-mechanical system as well, but I don't like how much room it takes up. The new magneto-mechanical versions dostill allow you to use tactical lights and accessories though. It seems that the magnetic part of the system does a lot less than the mechanical part anyway, so I don't know that it's worth the increased cost either.
The DPM system consists of astainless steel guide rod with an integrated short spring and then an outer largerecoil spring. This dual spring system is extremely smooth in operation and also prevents the slide from slamming all the way to the rear during cycling. The system came with two springs, a gold spring that has a lower spring rate and a silver spring with a higher spring rate for heavier ammunition. I chose to use the silver spring and I love it. The result is a massive difference in felt recoil and smoothness. It should also increase longevity somewhat, and claims increased reliability, although it's pretty hard to get better than the 100% reliability my Glock 17 has had so far, lol.
It functions flawlessly with all of my usual ammunition, which includes regular old WWB 115gr FMJ, Federal's 124gr +P HST, Federal's 124gr +P+ Hydrashock, Winchester's115gr +P+ Ranger, Speer's 124gr +P Gold Dot and Extreme Shock's 124gr Fang Face. The gun is so much more accurate when doing rapid fire and you can actually feel that the slide is not slamming fully to the rear with hot ammo. The gun feels so much smoother and more controllable that it's like a different gun. My friend who had fired the G17 a few times before absolutely loved it too, and it made it a lot more fun to shoot because of how quickly and easilyyou can dump a clip into something.
I highly recommend this system for anyone that owns a gun in which this system can be installed, even if you don't think your gun has much recoil. This system will make it that much better.Shooting my9mm Glockis so much more fun now! It's ridiculous how much of a difference it made. This is by far the best $70 investment I've made on a firearm accessory, and from now on I will be purchasing this system forevery gun Ibuy, as long as it's a gunforwhichthe system is made.
Here is a review of the system on a S&W M&P 9mm with a video comparing the gunbefore and after (Gunblast!!! ):

Here's a review of the system in general, and how it did when installed on a Glock 19:
