First Look: Blackout Defense Keymo Muzzle Devices
Arizona-based Blackout Defense has recently made a licensing arrangement with Dead Air Silencers, and now it is releasing its first line of KeyMo compatible muzzle devices. Blackout Defense has rolled out two new muzzle devices in this new category: A flash hider and a hybrid flash hider/compensator unit.
Both units are manufactured in-house at Blackout Defense and are produced with 17-4 stainless steel that is hardened to an H900 rating, which is similar to 45-47 HRC. Both units are precisely and carefully machined to allow for an optimal seal when used in conjunction with a suppressor, and are available in the dark copper color that is associated with the H900 treatment. Customers also have the option to purchase these devices with a black nitrided finish that affords very robust protection from corrosion and fouling. Integral to both the flash hider and hybrid compensator is a closed prong design that reduces the flash signature while also eliminating the “pinging” tuning fork sound that may show up with other muzzle devices on the market.
Given the nature of Blackout Defense’s partnership with Dead Air and the compatibility of these products with Dead Air’s suppressors, both of these muzzle devices is covered under Dead Air’s lifetime suppressor warranty.
