Description
The Mojave 9 is Dead Air's answer to the low-backpressure pistol can, and it does the modular thing better than most. Unscrew the front module and the full-size 7.64 inch, 9.6 ounce configuration drops down to a stubby 5.89 inches at 8.2 ounces. Run it long when you want the deepest 9mm suppression, run it short when the can needs to stay out of the way on a carry-size pistol or a compact PCC. Either way, the heavy lifting happens inside the Triskelion baffle stack, a three-legged geometry printed from 6AL-4V titanium using DMLS additive manufacturing. That printing process lets Dead Air shape gas flow paths that simply can't be machined the old-fashioned way, and the payoff is noticeably less gas blowing back through your action and into your face.
Why the Mojave 9 Earns Its Spot
This is not a one-trick 9mm can. The Mojave 9 is rated for 9mm and subsonic 300 Blackout on full auto, plus .357 Magnum, supersonic 300 Blackout, and .350 Legend on semi-auto hosts. That range makes it a legitimate do-it-all option if your safe holds a threaded pistol, a pistol caliber carbine, and a Blackout upper. Construction mixes titanium, 7075 aluminum, and stainless steel to keep weight down without giving up durability, and the silver finish stands out nicely on stainless or two-tone hosts.
Mounting Options That Grow With You
Out of the box you get a spring and booster assembly with a 1/2×28 piston installed, so most threaded 9mm pistols are ready to go from day one. The rear module also accepts Dead Air's full P-Series mount lineup, including 3-Lug and Key-Micro, which makes swapping between a tilting-barrel pistol and a fixed-barrel carbine quick and painless.
Living With the Mojave 9
The reduced backpressure design does more than keep the shooting experience pleasant. Less gas cycling back through the gun means a cleaner action and more consistent function across different hosts. Stick with Dead Air pistons for best results, and this can will quietly earn its keep for years.

Frequently Asked Questions
What calibers can the Dead Air Mojave 9 handle besides 9mm?
The Mojave 9 is rated for 9mm and subsonic 300 Blackout with full-auto fire, plus .357 Magnum, supersonic 300 Blackout, and .350 Legend on semi-auto hosts. That makes it a solid multi-role can for a pistol, PCC, and Blackout upper. Just make sure your bore and thread pitch match with the right piston or mount.
Does the Mojave 9 come with everything needed to run on a threaded pistol?
Yes, it ships with a spring and booster assembly and a 1/2×28 piston already installed, which covers most threaded 9mm pistols right out of the box. If your barrel uses a different thread pitch like 13.5×1 LH, you'll need to pick up the matching Dead Air piston separately.
How much shorter and lighter does the Mojave 9 get in its short configuration?
Removing the front module takes it from 7.64 inches and 9.6 ounces down to 5.89 inches and 8.2 ounces. The long setup gives you the best sound reduction, while the short setup keeps the can compact and handy on a carry-size pistol or PCC. Switching between the two takes just a few seconds.
Can I use pistons from other suppressor brands in the Mojave 9?
Some third-party pistons may physically fit, but independent testing has shown that non-Dead Air pistons can noticeably hurt suppression performance at the shooter's ear. Stick with Dead Air branded pistons and P-Series mounts to get the performance this can was designed to deliver.
