Dead Air Silencers is an American manufacturing company best known for their
silencers.
History
Dead Air Silencers was founded in 2014 by Mike Pappas and Todd Magee, both formerly of
SilencerCo. They manufacture products for military, police, and civilian sales.
Some of their silencers are intended for

use.
In the beginning they focused on the multicaliber silencer market producing silencers designed to be used with a number of different calibers. This due to the requirements of US commercial customers who must procure a different
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives tax stamp for each silencer they own. Their first silencer was the Sandman series.
In 2018 Dead Air introduced Key-Mo, an adaptor which allows the use of Silencerco silencers with Dead Air muzzle devices.
