Who can believe marketing claims. Well, I found one that really works - for recoil reduction, not for gas mileage. www.dpmsystems.com/en/products/ is a mechanical system that replaces the control rod and recoil spring. The control rod has internal springs, which is their secret. Snake oil? Not in this case. The product is available in the US from: www.theshootersbox.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=976I ordered the one for the S&W M&P. They showed it in the US as for the 40 S&W version, but I figured the rod would be the same for my 9mm and it was. The funny thing about it was I didn't notice any difference over the standard rod when I shot it. Then I handed it and two loaded magazines to my buddy. It was amazing. I was standing to the side with a brass catching screen between us so I didn't flinch to avoid flying brass. The muzzle hardly moved. It just barely moved up, and quickly came back onto target. I then wondered if it was just that he had a stronger hold on it. I had him watch as I shot it, and the results were the same. I loved the S&W M&P, and now I really love it. The company also makes a magnetic version that is supposed to delay the opening of the slide. I didn't opt for it. I found out about it from Gunblasts: www.gunblast.com/DPM.htm

That looks and sounds a lot like the recoil reducer I installed in the P99. ( www.sprinco.com ) I didn't notice that much in the way of recoil reduction, but I do like the all stainless steel construction (as opposed to the flimsy plastic stock guide rod.) I notice that they make one for the P99 as well, and for the same price as I paid for the Sprinco. Looks a lot like the Sprinco too. Hmmm...

Well, I can't really notice when I shoot it either, but I sure noticed it watching someone else shoot it.
The thing I didn't like with this was the fact that the recoil spring wasn't a capture type like the original. However, since they supply two different weights of springs, it would make it more difficult to swap them out.
