I've spent a 100+ hrs. sadly on trying to get the right spring to operate in that short distance... so far impossible as they springs always get defeated after a few dozen rds. The Strike One's longer operating distance of.61" is a game changer for solid guide rod and springs. There is a way with a custom spring potentially, a flat spring vs. round wire may add what is needed.
@@rain6firearmsandlifestyle131 I can see that with the requirement of a "fat" guide rod on the Type B's if you wanted a single rate recoil spring. Not going to be simple to throw a flat wire spring on there that can take many thousands of rounds without breaking a sweat. With such an abbreviated recoil system, it's much like the short 3" Officer sized .45 ACP 1911's that come with factory dual recoil spring systems. The main round wire recoil spring is toast and recommended to be changed by the manufacturers in as little as 500 rounds. That tiny round wire spring just cannot survive the punishment; not enough spring coils to to the work and not enough distance to spread the load between them. I can see the a short single rate round wire spring on the Type B just not lasting like you said, I still have your single spring prototype guide rod. A work-around would require a smaller diameter guide rod which could accept a flat wire spring and an adapter bushing/washer similar to the Glock Gen 4 to Gen 3 recoil kits out there. Until then, the DPM system is pretty damn good and works as advertised. My ported Type B from Rain 6 runs like a champ using this system.
I like your videos, got a gen2 incoming. I had to unfollow your instagram account, the views of whoever posts into the “story” were insufferable. Is that you as well?
Id love a solid recoil spring with a single spring setup. For the strike one Toni systems makes one for around $30 and springs are another $10.

Quick & Painless. Thanks for the info
Does this kit also work with the Gen1 Type B? I received this kit recently for my Gen2. I love that I have them both. 😎
Yes, it works for both. ty
Nice video, will you guys be getting the DPM recoil reduction kit for Staccato CS? It’s currently only available on DPM site.
Not sure yet, I'll inquire about importing them!
If I just purchased a kit from you a few days ago (currently in the mail) - is it this updated version or the original version?
Yes it is, the older version is no longer mfg. thanks!
What is the rough trigger weight with this striker spring and the stage 3 trigger job from iron horse. I wouldn’t think it would lower it.
4 lbs. but we can do a spring swap and get 3.5 and then a sear spring swap and get 3.0 as options.

I don't manage the stories, what was it? haha insufferable, that's bad. ;)
