    DA definitely needs some work and updates to customer service, but after working at a shooting range I can confidently say at minimum 50% is user error. Mostly from the amount of lose or incorrectly installed muzzle devices I’ve encountered. Not to mention Chinese made mounts, hand loads or barrels that are keyholeing.

    Anyone know anything about this?
    I think you guys are being a little too hard on Dead Air. They make great stuff. Be careful criticizing companies here.

    What a weird post from an unknown member? That’s not very nice. You sound like a very snooty person. Don’t take your anger at dead air out on me. You don’t even know me.

    What does Dead Air make? Because AFAIK, everything with their name is manufactured by a third party (though I suppose you could argue that SMT is in-house).

    Beyond that, how are folks being too hard on Dead Air? There are many stories of poor customer service all over the place, not just here, about Dead Air. Beyond that, just because someone makes or sells great stuff doesn't mean that they have other failings as a company that makes them a non-viable choice.

    This is essentially my issue with them. I have a DA Mask that I'm very pleased with. So much so that I was considering a second one. After the way they handled things with the Sierra 5 issues, and the resulting abysmal turn around times and lack of communication, I started looking at other options.

    I'm very glad that I did too. The upcoming CAT SR A1 rimfire suppressor seems to be the ticket, as soon as it's released that is.

    From the things I’ve read, reviews and such, all seem positive.

    I know technology has come a long way. Maybe they’re worth a better look.

    My point was that if it's so easy for users to destroy their suppressor, then it means the mounting system is a terrible design.

    We don't blame the users for Huxwrx, Surefire, Q, KAC, etc. baffle strikes...because cans from those manufacturers rarely have baffle strikes since the mounting systems aren't designed by idiots like they are over at Deadair.

    And I wasn’t saying just DA cans suffer this.

    It doesn’t matter how well thought out a mount and mounting system is if Billy bob doesn’t mount the muzzle device correctly bad things can happen, uses wrong ammo bad things can happen, doesn’t pay attention to barrel length & fire rate restrictions bad things can happen, uses non recommended equipment bad things can happen etc etc

    Plus don’t forget about Murphy’s law.
