    With Chief Engineer Todd Magee and the new Primal Suppressor. Hear all about Todd's story. Where he was before Dead Air and the development of the newest Dead Air Suppressor, The Primal. The Speakeasy Podcast with Mike Pappas and cohost Rich Wilkins gives you access inside the mind of a gun industry icon. Hear Mikes true thoughts on how he sees the world firearms and silencers. The multi-purpose .46 caliber Primal. Optimized for big caliber high-pressure rifles, but adaptable enough for your pistol – and everything in between. Extreme versatility makes it the king of multi-platform shooting. Direct thread simplicity, quick-attach Keymo, accuracy-driven Xeno, pistol boosters, and 3-lug for subgun fun, are all made possible thanks to our industry-standard 1.375”-24 rear threads and our newly engineered HUB to P-Series adapter. To get you started, we're including a 5/8-24 direct thread insert and the HUB to P-Series adapter. The Primal is ready for Nomad, Wolfman, and Ghost compatible mounts, right out of the box. From 9mm to .45 ACP, and 45-70 to .338 Lapua, like a rabid beast the Primal will eat just about anything you give it. If you only want one silencer (to begin with), the Primal is it. Feed it what you want, mount it how you want. Your gun is waiting. HUB mounting system compatible. Use direct thread, Xeno, or Keymo, and with the included HUB to P-Series adapter, the Primal accepts 3-lug and booster adapters. The Primal ► https://deadairsilencers.com/products...

Design and materials are part of the equation, but there is no substitute for thirty years of manufacturing excellence. Every Dead Air suppressor is manufactured in Georgia by highly trained Americans intent on manufacturing the best suppressor on the market. Our standards are simple, “good isn't good enough” and if a product comes off the line not up to par, then the can gets canned. It's that simple.
