The Dead Air DA115 KeyMicro Brake Flash Hider delivers dual-function performance for 9mm platforms, combining effective muzzle rise control with flash suppression in a compact package. This precision-machined device serves as both a standalone muzzle device and KeyMicro mounting platform for compatible suppressors.
What Makes This Different
The DA115 features Dead Air's proprietary KeyMicro mounting system, allowing rapid suppressor attachment while functioning as an effective brake when used alone. Unlike traditional linear compensators, this design incorporates flash-hiding slots that reduce muzzle signature without sacrificing recoil control. The 4140 HT alloy steel construction provides superior strength compared to standard carbon steel alternatives.
Key Features
- KeyMicro mounting system for compatible Dead Air suppressors
- Dual-port brake design reduces muzzle rise and felt recoil
- Flash-hiding slots minimize muzzle signature
- 4140 heat-treated alloy steel construction with black nitride finish
- Standard 1/2"-28 threading fits most 9mm pistols and carbines
- Compact profile adds minimal length to barrel
- Corrosion-resistant nitride coating for long-term durability
Field testing demonstrates consistent flash reduction across various 9mm loads while maintaining the recoil control benefits of a traditional brake. The device performs effectively in both pistol and pistol-caliber carbine applications, making it suitable for competitive shooting, duty use, and recreational applications. The nitride finish resists corrosion and carbon buildup, maintaining performance through extended shooting sessions.
