Beretta 96 DPM Systems Recoil Reduction System

Published on May 8, 2017
Duration: 8:41

This review tests the DPM Systems Recoil Reduction System on a Beretta 96 Inox in .40 S&W. While the system is compatible with Beretta 92, 96, and 98 models, the felt recoil reduction is subtle. Initial testing showed a failure to feed, possibly due to limp-wristing or break-in, but reliability improved with extended use. The speaker concludes the DPM system is a quality option for Beretta 96 .40 S&W owners, though the 9mm Beretta 92 remains a smoother shooter.

Quick Summary

The DPM Systems Recoil Reduction System for the Beretta 96 .40 S&W features a captive triple-spring design. While compatible with Beretta 92/96/98 models, the felt recoil reduction is subtle, and the 9mm Beretta 92 remains smoother. Initial malfunctions may occur but improve with break-in.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the DPM Systems Recoil Reduction System?

The DPM Systems Recoil Reduction System is a captive, triple-spring assembly designed to replace the standard guide rod and recoil spring in compatible firearms, aiming to reduce felt recoil and muzzle flip.

Is the DPM system compatible with the Beretta 96?

Yes, the DPM system is explicitly mentioned as compatible with the Beretta 96 series pistols, as well as the Beretta 92 and 98 models (F, FS, and G variants).

Does the DPM system significantly reduce recoil on the Beretta 96 .40 S&W?

The review suggests the recoil reduction is subtle. While it works, the difference over a standard guide rod is not dramatic, and the 9mm Beretta 92 is still noted as a smoother shooter.

What issues might arise when installing the DPM system?

An initial failure to feed was observed, potentially due to 'limp-wristing' or the system needing a break-in period. Proper grip and allowing for break-in are recommended.
