![]() ![]() my Radian seen in this review has its KeyMo flash hider welded to its 14.5-inch barrel to meet the 16-inch legal length). Presumably most people doing this would also be pinning and welding said mount to their firearm in order to use the Sierra-5 as legal barrel length (e.g. ![]() If you’ve really standardized, there’s a pre-drilled hole at the base of the Sierra-5 that can be used to pin and weld a mount to the silencer. Though I’m a perfectly decent fan of both their KeyMo and Xeno systems, I’d rather not be forced to pay for one of these systems if I’ve already standardized my gun collection on something else. There are many dozens of mounting systems available for this thread pitch, from QD to direct thread to pistol boosters and so much more.įrankly, I wouldn’t complain if Dead Air also sold the Sierra-5 completely sans mount. A great feature of the Sierra-5 is that it’s threaded at its base with the now near-universal “HUB” mount aka 1.375×24 aka 1-3/8×24 thread size. The Sierra-5 is consistent.Īt least that’s the case with Dead Air’s mounting systems (Xeno seen above). Any shift to your point of impact with and without a suppressor can vary wildly depending on the host firearm, but as long as any shift is perfectly consistent you won’t encounter issues. The Sierra-5 wasn’t an outlier.īoth of Dead Air’s mounting systems also provide a fully repeatable return to zero should you remove and re-install the suppressor. Despite popular myth it’s rare that a silencer degrades accuracy and, actually, more common that they improve accuracy. While ear pro is necessary at the indoor range whether suppressed or not, I was still able to recognize the nice tone and solid suppression of the Sierra-5 along with the complete and total lack of concussion normally associated with firing 5.56 indoors.Īs you can see in the photo above, the nice little Dead Air silencer maintained the excellent accuracy of this rifle. I visited The Range at Austin to do some initial testing with the new Atibal HYBRID12 1-12x scope and the Black Collar Arms forged carbon fiber cantilever scope mount, and put a bunch of rounds through the Sierra-5 at the same time. With a pinned and welded KeyMo flash hider already installed on the muzzle of my Radian Weapons Model 1, it was the perfect host to test out a Sierra-5. Available from Silencer Shop with either a KeyMo mount system or a Xeno mount system, I got my hands on one of each and ran them through their paces over the last couple months. Launched this spring at the NRA Show, Dead Air’s new Sierra-5 silencer is a compact, heavy-duty suppressor designed for hard use on. ![]()
