Dead Air Armament Sandman-S – Rifle Suppressor (.30 Cal) – Short, Durable, QD-Ready
Short, tough, surprisingly quiet.
The Dead Air Sandman-S is a purpose-built, mid-length .30-caliber suppressor that delivers full-power performance in a compact package. Engineered for hard use with a welded baffle/core and Dead Air’s KeyMount quick-attach system, the Sandman-S balances durability, sound reduction, and repeatable mounting — making it a versatile choice for hunters, precision shooters, and duty users who want a shorter, more maneuverable .30 can.
Key Features:
-
Caliber Rating: Rated for .30-caliber use and system-tested for high-energy rounds (verify specific model limits for extreme magnum loads).
-
Size: Short, compact footprint (approximately 6.8" overall) that preserves rifle handling and balance.
-
Weight: Purposefully light for a .30 can (around 17.7 oz, model dependent) to reduce front-end swing on modern rifles.
-
Construction: Welded core with high-strength baffle materials and a stainless steel tube for long life under heavy use.
-
Mounting System: Ships with Dead Air’s KeyMount / KeyMo compatibility for fast, repeatable QD attachment (HUB/KeyMo ecosystem support and optional fixed/HUB mounts available).
-
Durability Add-Ons: User-replaceable front caps/R-series options and high-temp finishes available on many SKUs for added service life.
Specifications (typical / SKU dependent):
-
Length: ~6.8" overall.
-
Diameter: ~1.5" nominal.
-
Weight: ~17.7 oz (varies by configuration).
-
Materials: Welded baffle/core (Cobalt / Stellite / 17-4 PH stainless variants referenced by retailers/manufacturer), stainless tube.
-
Mounting: KeyMount / KeyMo QD with available HUB/fixed mounts (thread inserts like 5/8-24 available for direct-thread setups).
Why It Stands Out:
The Sandman-S compresses the performance of a larger .30 can into a shorter, combat-ready chassis. Its welded high-strength core and robust mounting system deliver repeatable lockup and longevity under heavy use, while the reduced length and moderate weight make it a practical option across hunting, duty, and precision roles. The KeyMount/KeyMo modularity means fast swap-on, swap-off convenience and broad accessory support.
Perfect For:
Hunters who need a shorter suppressor that stays out of the way, tactical/duty users who require repeatable QD mounting, and precision shooters who want .30-caliber performance without a full-length can. Ideal when first-round-pop management, ruggedness, and modular mounting are priorities.
