Dead Air Silencers Suppressor Ct5P Patrol 5.56 W/Xeno Fde
The Dead Air Silencers CT5P Patrol is a compact 5.56 NATO suppressor built for shooters who demand lightweight performance without compromise. Featuring the XENO mount in Flat Dark Earth finish, this ultra-compact silencer combines innovative baffle design with proven durability for duty rifles, patrol carbines, and serious amateur shooters. If you run a short-barreled AR or want a suppressor that minimizes recoil signature and flash without adding unnecessary weight, the CT5P delivers the balance of form and function that separates quality cans from the rest.
Dead Air engineered the CT5P around their patent-pending Compact Triskelion baffle system and proprietary Gas Management System, which work together to substantially reduce backpressure compared to traditional designs. This matters if you care about bolt velocity consistency, operator comfort, and long-term reliability. The silencer is optimized for both direct-impingement and piston gas systems, so you won't need to tune your rifle to make it work—it adapts to you. The design also releases heat efficiently through increased external surface area, keeping muzzle flash and spark to near-undetectable levels even from barrels as short as 10.5 inches.
Built from Haynes 282 superalloy and finished in high-temperature Cerakote, the CT5P is full-auto rated for 5.56 NATO and 6mm ARC, and rated to SOCOM SURG standards. That durability comes from additive manufacturing technology that lets Dead Air achieve a featherweight profile—just 14.3 oz with the XENO mount—without sacrificing longevity under sustained fire. The XENO version threads directly to compatible XENO muzzle devices, adding just 5.89 inches to your rifle's length while keeping diameter trim at 1.6 inches.
This is a serious can for serious shooters: law enforcement-grade engineering that works equally well on civilian duty rifles, hunting setups, and range guns where noise and recoil management matter.
