Forward Controls Design
Overview
The Forward Controls Design Dead Air Xeno Flash Hider is a 9mm muzzle device designed to effectively minimize the visible signature of your firearm during shooting. With a thread pitch of 1/2x28, it easily attaches to compatible barrels, providing a robust solution for builders looking to enhance their firearm's performance in low-light conditions. This flash hider is commonly found in mid-length gas system builds, particularly those chambered in 5.56 NATO, where reducing muzzle flash is a priority.
