Re: Dead Air Mask-22
I'd get the Mask IF it's in stock.
Re: Dead Air Mask-22
My dealer has one serial number left and I broke down and claimed it as mine. I think I will be all set on rimfire cans now. I have one in hand and two pending before the Mask came to my attention but this one looked like one I couldn't pass up. Excited to get this one!!
It is not the Death Rattle in the throat of Western civilization which is surprising: it is the fact that millions of Americans believe that the death rattle is a beautiful song!
Re: Dead Air Mask-22
I think sound has a hit a limit in 22 cans. Most of the new cans can only claim a couple DBs over the sparrow. I just don't see enough in the Mask to consider it over the sparrow especially with the heavy duty running 500$. It is nice to see options in the category and I'm glad to see Pappas doing well as he was a key contributor in Silcos success.

SADLY I AGREE , im waiting on my regulator that dave said had numbers around 110 db and a few 109 . cant wait
i think unless some unknown wonder baffle design pops up i think it will be trying to make the gun quieter /
i was looking at the sparrow before i saw regulator , and i had to regulator . i also have a spectre2 , mack bro echo , and soon regulator . and was going with dead air , but they are around 115 db so i passed on it .

Re: Dead Air Mask-22
Those numbers really depend on host and day of test. I metered a production Mask HD yesterday at 112 average with shots dipping below 110. I've also metered it at 117, but all the competitor cans were high too.ericdraven wrote:HK Nole wrote:I think sound has a hit a limit in 22 cans.

You'll find the Regulator is about 1-2 dB quieter on a pistol than the Mask on average. On a rifle, the Masked metered 1-2 dB better than the Regulator. NFA Talk metered them on the same day and their numbers fit this. If you plotted it, most shots overlap and as the shooter you can't always tell the difference.
Don't base your purchase on those numbers alone--both cans are a step up suppression-wise--but look at features, size, etc. If I didn't already own a Form 1 can that is virtually identical to the Regulator, I'd be buying one.
Re: Dead Air Mask-22
Just what I was looking for.
Re: Dead Air Mask-22
Did you ever run a comparison with Element2? If so, I'd love to know how they compared, especially frp on short pistol. I just ordered the mask but was also considering the Element2 due to lower weight. Can you tell the element is lighter on a short pistol host such as a buck mark which is what I'll be sticking it on.HansohnBrothers wrote:I'll run a more controlled test this weekend and compare it with an Element 2.
Probably gonna pic up another 22 can and curious if I should go Element2 or get another Mask-HD on order.
Also have a 10/22 and bolt 22 host to spin one on.
Thx!

Re: Dead Air Mask-22
The Mask is probably THE best when it comes to FRP on pistols.

I wouldn't consider the Element2 nowadays. The tube isn't shielded from fouling and lead buildup like the Mask/Spectre/Sparrow.
