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 MSRP of $1099 is considered good value for the included enhancements.
