The DPM Recoil Rod is a direct replacement for the stock recoil rod and does not change the configuration of the pistol. As always, DPM products are designed and developed with user’s safety as a priority. Exceptional manufacturing and engineering using high-end materials.Slide Extended System: A stainless steel plug (bushing) is used in order to provide the necessary space in the slide of subcompact pistols so these models can fit in the DPM Recoil Rod.
