This is a great product for left-handed Beretta 90/92/96 or Girsan Regard owners. It's a big, perfectly positioned thumb brace for a left-handed shooter's right thumb if you have medium-size hands. My right hand measures about 8.25" around, 6" from tip of thumb to wrist. This offers excellent purchase while firing by pushing the right thumb on the thumbrest inwards (towards the sidearm slide; not forwards). The gun shoots flatter and I am able to follow up shots faster. This upgraded control piece is a bit big, being designed for competetion. It may impede IWB carry methods and be incompatibile with tighter holsters. No issues with competition-style or duty-grade holsters in my experience.

Upgrading to the DPM Recoil System has been a great experience for my Girsan Regard MC X.

I have only shot 185-grain Seismic subsonic 9mm, but it gave smoother slide operation and less felt recoil than the factory guide rod and spring. The system has double the force at the end of the slide's travel, which acts as a buffer, preventing the slide from slamming into the frame. It compliments a Wilson Combat Shok-Buff well. Combined, excellent preventative upgrades to protect components from wear.

Installation couldn't be any more simple and straightforward. Mine needed no fitting.
The assembly happily accepts oil or grease and holds it well.
The materials used are robust, it's very well engineered. Interested to see just how durable this is compared to SpringCo's competitor.
If it gets tired after a few thousand rounds, extra springs and components are available.

I look forward to seeing how much this can take! I might even have it DLC coated for extra smoothness.

Completely exceeded expectations. It's capacious, durable, and loads and unloads so smoothly. A huge step up from Beretta magazines, and even better than the Mec-Gar 18rd that was supplied with a Girsan Regard MC X.

The anti-friction coating is outstanding and makes cleaning a breeze.
The 20-round capacity is another huge plus. Probably not ideal for carry, but excellent for duty, range, match.
The baseplate is rugged and well-designed.

Mec-Gar knocked it out of the park with this design. Highly recommended!
