Sometimes you want one piece of equipment that can do it all. You need something that serves you just as well during training day at the range as during a highly intense carbine course. You need versatility, dependability, and durability. You need the Dead Air Primal. When they made the Primal, Dead Air wanted to make the only suppressor a person would ever need. Not too long at 7.9 inches and not too heavy at 16.5 ounces, the Dead Air finds a home on virtually every muzzle. With a range of quick-detach options, the versatility of the Primal allows you to use this silencer on nearly any firearm in our gun safe.

A Dead Air Primal review always focuses on its most important feature: its extreme versatility. Offering multi-caliber suppression optimized for high-pressure rifles, the Primal has no trouble cycling virtually any ammo smaller than .338 Lapua. From a 9mm pistol to a .458 caliber rifle, the Primal accomplishes excellent sound reduction regardless of the projectile. The Primal can run as a direct thread suppressor or an attachment on Dead Air KeyMo for quick detachment. The Dead Air Primal is also compatible with the Xeno, pistol boosters, and 3-lug from Dead Air, as well as Nomad (HUB mount), Wolfman, and Ghost-compatible mounts right out of the box, expanding your options even further.
