The Dead Air DA160 KeyMo Muzzle Brake transforms recoil management for 45 caliber firearms while serving as a quick-attach mount for Dead Air suppressors. This precision-machined brake reduces felt recoil and muzzle rise significantly compared to standard flash hiders or compensators.
What Makes This Different
The KeyMo mounting system sets this brake apart from traditional muzzle devices by combining effective recoil reduction with suppressor compatibility. While standard muzzle brakes require removal for suppressor attachment, the DA160 accepts Dead Air suppressors in seconds through the KeyMo quick-attach mechanism. The .578"-28 thread pitch accommodates larger bore firearms that exceed standard 5/8"-24 threading requirements.

The DA160 delivers measurable recoil reduction through its engineered port geometry, directing gases upward and rearward to counteract muzzle climb.
