The Dead Air DA163 Muzzle Brake transforms .45 caliber firearms into more controllable platforms by redirecting muzzle gases to counteract recoil and muzzle rise. This precision-machined brake features 11/16"-24 threading for secure attachment to compatible barrels. Built from heat-treated steel with a durable black finish, the DA163 handles sustained fire while maintaining zero shift.

What Makes This Different

Unlike basic flash hiders or simple compensators, the DA163 incorporates Dead Air's proven gas redirection technology with multiple ports that channel expanding gases both laterally and rearward. The asymmetrical port design creates downward force to counter muzzle climb while side ports reduce felt recoil by up to 40% compared to standard muzzle devices. This brake maintains compatibility with Dead Air suppressors when used as a mounting platform.

Range testing demonstrates consistent 35-42% recoil reduction across various .45 caliber loads, allowing faster follow-up shots and improved accuracy during rapid fire sequences. The brake performs effectively in competitive shooting scenarios, tactical training, and recreational plinking. Weather resistance testing confirms reliable function in temperatures from -20°F to 140°F with no degradation in performance after 5,000+ rounds.
