——————-

After having some problems with the Lone Wolf Compensator, I decided to give another recoil reduction system a try. I read about the DPM Mechanical Recoil System for Glocks on the internet, and felt it is a good system as it could be used with the Lone Wolf Compensator later. They also have an Electro-Mechanical (which uses a combination of Springs and Magnets) System, but it was a bit bulky and heavy, and used the forward rail of the Glock, which I also use for a front grip on, so I decided to just get the Mechanical (which uses Springs) System instead.

I read some reviews about it on some forums (see the "Sources" section near the bottom of the page), and there were some issues about it, mainly about reliability issues, and also issues about the spring being too hard and not being able to rack back the slide when it is first installed. These supposed issues can be addressed using various methods, so I decided to go ahead and buy one. I bought one for my Glock 22 from the Zahal website for Usd 89, plus Usd 19 for shipping, and the unit arrived at my doorstep after 23 days or more than three weeks. Here is the actual link where I bought the item:

(Video) DPM Recoil System and Ghost Rocket Connector Test on my Glock 22

Got the DPM Mechanical Recoil System and Ghost Rocket 3.5 lb. Connector working on my Glock 22 lately, so I decided to try them out in "Handgun Mode". Pretty nice additions to the Glock, and very highly recommended.

I will be doing a more in-depth written review of both systems later, in the meantime, here is the video those systems in action in my Glock.

They said a picture is worth a thousand words, so a video would be even more so. That's why I decided to take a video of my Glock 22 in what I call its "Machine Pistol Mode" so people can capture a bit more detail that just the words and pictures I have posted here thus far. I intend to make a couple more over the next couple of weeks or months, depending on how much more detail I feel I can share more with videos.

Forgive the mediocre camera focus, I used only a Samsung PL120 Digital Camera. It works very well with still pictures, but apparently not very much with indoor close up videos. I hope I can rectify this on my next videos. So now here is the video itself:
