Description
Dead Air took a hard look at what people complain about with pistol cans, gas in the face, wasted length, single-purpose designs, and answered all of it with the Mojave 9. This is a modular 9mm suppressor built around the Triskelion baffle system, a three-legged internal geometry that only exists because DMLS 3D printing made it possible. The payoff is a can that keeps gases flowing forward instead of cycling back through your action, which means less blowback at your face, less filth in your gun, and a noticeably more pleasant range session.
Two Cans in One Tax Stamp
The two-piece design gives you real flexibility. Full length runs 7.64 inches at just 9.6 ounces when you want every last decibel of reduction. Pull the front module and you drop to 5.89 inches and 8.2 ounces, a tidy setup for a carry-sized pistol or a compact PCC build. What sets the Mojave 9 apart from older modular designs is that the short configuration still performs, so you are not stuck choosing between quiet and compact. The rear module is also compatible with Dead Air's P-Series mounts, so the included booster with 1/2-28 piston is just the starting point. Three-lug and Key-Micro options open it up to a whole rack of hosts.
Built Light, Rated Heavy
Both modules are printed from 6AL-4V titanium with 7075 aluminum and stainless steel components, then finished in high-temp Cerakote in Flat Dark Earth. Despite the featherweight build, this can is full-auto rated for 9mm and .300 Blackout subsonics, and it handles .357 Magnum, supersonic .300 Blackout, and .350 Legend too. That versatility means one stamp covers your suppressed pistol, your PCC, and a Blackout upper.
Why the Mojave 9 Earns a Spot
Low-backpressure pistol suppressors are where the market is headed, and Dead Air's take stands out because it delivers the reduced gas without giving up sound performance. Add the modular length, multi-caliber rating, and P-Series mount ecosystem, and the Mojave 9 makes a strong case as the one 9mm can that covers just about everything.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Dead Air Mojave 9 handle calibers other than 9mm?
Yes. Beyond 9mm, the Mojave 9 is rated for .357 Magnum, .300 Blackout in both subsonic and supersonic loads, and .350 Legend. It is full-auto rated for 9mm and subsonic .300 Blackout, so it covers pistols, PCCs, and small-frame rifle builds on a single can.
Does the Mojave 9 still perform well in the short configuration?
It does, and that is the main draw of the Triskelion baffle design. The 3D-printed geometry maintains an efficient gas-flow path even with the front module removed, so shortening the can does not gut its sound performance the way it does with a lot of older modular designs. At 5.89 inches and 8.2 ounces, the short setup is a legit option for everyday range use.
What mounting options work with the Mojave 9 besides the included piston?
The rear module is compatible with Dead Air's P-Series mounting system, the same one used on the Ghost and Wolfman. That means you can run the included booster with the 1/2-28 piston, swap in other piston sizes, or go with a 3-Lug or Key-Micro mount for quick attachment on PCCs and subguns. Stick with Dead Air pistons for best performance.
Will the Mojave 9 cycle reliably on a tilting-barrel pistol?
Yes, it ships with a spring and booster assembly, commonly called a Nielsen device, which is required for most semi-auto pistols with tilting barrels. The 1/2-28 piston comes pre-installed, so it is ready to go on most threaded 9mm pistol barrels right out of the box. For fixed-barrel hosts like PCCs, you can run a fixed mount instead.
