The Dead Air CT5P Xeno black suppressor is the quick-detach version of the CT5P Patrol, using Dead Air’s Xeno mount (Dead Air part no. CT5PXNBLK). It keeps the patrol-specific design of the line: gas-regulated, ultra-lightweight and low in backpressure, with a compact Triskelion baffle and the Gas Management System. The Xeno mount adds a little over the direct-thread version, bringing the can to 5.89 inches and 14.3 ounces. Dead Air rates it full-auto for 5.56 NATO and 6mm ARC and says it was tested to the SOCOM SURG standard. For a shooter who moves one suppressor between rifles wearing Xeno muzzle devices, it is the CT5P to choose.
