Dead Air Defense CT5P Patrol Suppressor 1/2-28 Direct Thread Black

The Dead Air Defense CT5P Patrol Suppressor is a purpose-built 5.56 NATO silencer engineered specifically for semi-automatic duty rifles and patrol use. This 1/2-28 direct thread model delivers hearing protection and reduced muzzle concussion in confined environments—critical for law enforcement and tactical shooters who need reliable performance without the weight penalty of older designs. At just 13.7 ounces, the CT5P proves that compact doesn't mean compromised.

Dead Air's proprietary Compact Triskelion baffle design and Gas Management System work together to substantially lower backpressure and fume exposure compared to traditional suppressors, while maintaining a predictable point of impact on duty rifles. The CT5P runs flawlessly on both direct impingement and piston systems in 5.56 and 6mm ARC, with no minimum barrel length restriction—even 10.5-inch carbines get near-undetectable flash reduction. Built from Haynes 282 superalloy and finished in high-temp black Cerakote, this suppressor is rated for full-auto fire and tested to SOCOM SURG standards, so it's ready for duty use and longevity under sustained fire.

The CT5P's functional design—more external surface area to shed heat and minimize light signature—keeps sound pressure levels well below OSHA impulse noise standards while the Gas Management System reduces operator toxicity exposure. Whether you're running a patrol rifle, home-defense carbine, or competition gun, the CT5P delivers the hearing protection and control serious shooters demand without the bulk and reciprocating mass of heavier designs.
