Dead Air Silencers just notched a major win with their Mojave45 suppressor earning the On Target Magazine Editor’s Choice Award, a nod that screams elite status in the world of high-performance cans. This isn’t some participation trophy—it’s for a rig that punches way above its weight class, blending modular configurability for pistol or rifle use, featherlight 3D-printed titanium build, and that game-changing Triskelion™ Gas Management System which tames blowback like a pro while keeping sound suppression surgical. Whether you’re running it on a tilting-barrel 1911 or a fixed-barrel PCC, the Mojave45 adapts seamlessly, proving Dead Air’s engineers aren’t just iterating; they’re redefining what a versatile suppressor can do in real-world scenarios.
Dig deeper, and this award spotlights a seismic shift in suppressor tech that’s pure catnip for the 2A community. In an era where ATF red tape still chokes NFA ownership—despite states like Texas and Florida slashing suppressors from felony status to sporting goods—this kind of innovation screams market maturity. The Mojave45’s lightweight titanium (under 8 ounces in short config) and gas management wizardry mean less recoil, cleaner shooting, and hearing-safe operation without the bulk of legacy cans, making suppressed fire a no-brainer for home defense, training, or range domination. It’s a clever counterpunch to anti-suppressor myths peddled by gun-grabbers who call them silencers for assassins—in reality, they’re hearing protectors that enhance accuracy and safety, backed by awards like this from credible voices like On Target.
For gun owners, the implications are electric: Dead Air’s Mojave45 isn’t just award bait; it’s a blueprint for the future of accessible, high-tech suppression that could accelerate mainstream adoption. As more states eye hearing protection acts and public support for NFA reform swells (polls show 70%+ favor easier suppressor access), accolades like this validate the industry’s push toward lighter, smarter designs. If you’re building a suppressed pistol caliber carbine or just want the best dang can on your Glock, snag a Mojave45—it’s not hype, it’s the new benchmark, and a subtle middle finger to those trying to keep us shouting at the range.
