New Titanium Dead Air OTB

[cole96]

Interested to see how this performs compared to the nomad tixc

I'll be getting one to run in PRS with a recoilX brake. They should be decently quiet, yet eliminate a lot the extra forward length especially on 26-28" barrels.

I think this could be a killer setup, reflex + brake =

I’m thinking when my RUM is done (24” barrel) I’m either going to get this or the new 4” reaper reflex suppressor. It will be the same as my 22” suppressed

I thought about this setup too long and ultimately ended up ordering the TBAC Magnus-S RR. My assumptions include adding a muzzle device and no DT options. I know some swear by DT for weight and length savings but not my preferred.

Magnus S, RR With recoil X comp brake tested very well in the recent supressor test conducted by a group of guys and an outdoor life editor. Much quieter than the K setup and nearly same recoil.

Rob of Silencer Analytics, I think he’s got another channel, too. Anyway, he posted a video recently that had the DA OTB in it around the 3:55 mark:

Can’t say I personally really git much from the video. I’ve seen other videos where he’s praised the Nomad-L, he doesn’t really praise the OTB, he calls it interesting and says something to tge effect of it being in a category of it’s own.

I generally don’t glean much from sound in silencer videos beyond tone, but I was just meh at seeing the performance in that video.

Just got the Nomad Ti OTB out of jail. Only had time to put 5 rounds down the tube. My initial results are similar to the video above. Tough to describe, “it wasn’t loud, but it had a “crack” to it. For sure hearing safe, but it didn’t Wow me.
Mounted on a 6 CM with. 16.5” carbon fiber barrel.
Love the length, rifle felt very balanced weight wise. Already not a fan of the Xeno mounting system because I was planning on using this can on 2 or 3 different rifles and every rifle will require a mount. Direct thread is the way to go.
Next can will be a UM OG otb for my 6 UM.
Conclusion: I like the Dead Air, but don’t love it.

What other cans do you have to compare it to? I’m currently running Nomad Ls which is about as quiet as it gets so I’ve pretty much resigned myself to the fact that any hunting suppressor I buy that’s shorter and lighter is going to be louder.

My initial impression may have been influenced by the fact that I shot a .22 with a can on it, before I shot the Nomad otb. My first .22 can and I was giddy about how quiet it was. Could only hear the action cycling.
My only other can is a first generation Nomad Ti.
Away from home for a few days and will do some more thorough testing when I get back.

I too have a Nomad Ti so I’ll be curious to see how the OTB compares to that. I plan on using it on a 20” 30-06 and 7 PRC plus an 18” 6.5 PRC and possibly a 16” 22-250 or 22 GT down the road. I believe on the 16” it will give me a 1” Gap between the hand guard of my HNT and the can.
