Recoil Reduction

Currently using the DPM with my 1911 double stack .40cal pistol.  Compared with the DPM and a 11lbs recoil spring on a tungsten guide rod with 180grs major load (171pf), my shot groups are much tighter with the DPM system.  Honestly, I did not notice any much difference in recoil with DPM and the standard setup.

Newton's law is in effect here. Unless the recoil energy is converted to heat, it is going to be there. The recoil reducing gadgets, often spread the recoil impulse over a longer time, giving the illusion of softer recoil. One aspect of recoil, to consider, not associated with PF or muzzle energy, is the jet action of the escaping gasses. Higher pressures at the muzzle, add to the physical recoil. Faster burning powders, will have lower gas pressure at the muzzle, contribute less to overall recoil. Not a whole lot, but noticeable. That's why Clays, and other similar powders are so popular in noncompensated guns.
