Dead air would have been ok but they have sucked as a company this past year.


What happened to them? I thought they were one of the top notch can manufacturers out there? I have all sico cans, but am looking to try another brand. I'm stuck between the deadair sandman K, Trashpanda, or Rugged radiant.

I wouldn’t buy another dead air for all the tea in China. Two years ago I filed paperwork for one 9 months later I got it. Had a VERY knowledgeable gunsmith mount the muzzle device timed properly. Without the can shite dead on 1/2” group at 100 yards. Attached the suppressor and couldn’t reliably hit a 4x8 sheet of plywood. There is NO phone number to contact them so I e mailed support. They said problem had to be on my end. I go to my gunsmith we re check everything it passes. So we shout multiple bullets all are all over the place. I reach out to support they agree to look at suppressor. They send back 3 months later state nothing is wrong…. So gunsmith and I take suppressor same issue still. The. Take three other suppressors that will fit in muzzle device shoot and patterns fine. Reach out to support say problem on my end. I finally ask them to call my gunsmith. They do and they agree to take another look. 4 months later I get the suppressor and it finally shoots right.

TLDR… bought dead air suppressor for it multiple returns and 10 months later it shoots right. Would NEVER buy another dead air.

The seirra 5 rollout was horrible. Badly treated stellitle turned peoples cans into maracas. Dead air never publicly acknowledged the issue and took months to repair the cans. Lots of recent sandmans breaking too. The best can they make is the nomad series. Those are problem free but the other cans just suck and dead air takes forever to fix them.
