Dead Air Silencers' Nomad Ti OTB Named 2026 NASGW-POMA Caliber Award Winner for Best New Suppressor

Dead Air Silencers announces that its Nomad Ti OTB (over-the-barrel) suppressor has received the 2026 NASGW-POMA Caliber Award for Best New Suppressor at the National Association of Sporting Goods Wholesalers (NASGW) Expo and Annual Meetings in Phoenix, Arizona.

The annual Caliber Awards recognize outstanding new products across the sporting goods industry. Entries are evaluated by NASGW members and select representatives of the Professional Outdoor Media Association (POMA) based on innovation, uniqueness, value, presentation, and market demand. This year's competition featured more than 100 entries spanning firearms, ammunition, optics, and accessories.

"Recognition from NASGW and POMA carries significant meaning for our team," said Dead Air Silencers CEO Ernie Beckwith. "These organizations play an important role in connecting manufacturers with the distribution network and outdoor media professionals who help bring new products to market. Having the Nomad Ti OTB recognized as the year's Best New Suppressor reinforces our commitment to engineering, using premium materials, and high-performance solutions that meet the needs of hunters and shooting enthusiasts."

The Nomad Ti OTB expands Dead Air's established Nomad Series with an over-the-barrel design engineered to reduce backpressure and enhance sound suppression. Rated for cartridges up to .300 RUM and 7mm Backcountry, its rearward-extending blast chamber adds just 4.6 inches to overall rifle length while positioning weight closer to the shooter for improved balance and handling. Manufactured from 3D-printed Grade 9 titanium, the Nomad Ti OTB weighs just 10.5 ounces, delivering a lightweight design without compromising strength or durability.
