Our Thoughts
When shopping for a suppressor, most shooters focus almost entirely on the suppressor itself.
What often gets overlooked is the muzzle device.
If you're investing in a rifle that will spend time both suppressed and unsuppressed, the muzzle device matters just as much as the suppressor.
After all, when the suppressor comes off, you're still shooting the muzzle device.
The SureFire SOCOM 3-Prong excels in both roles.
As a standalone flash hider, it provides outstanding flash suppression without the increased concussion and side blast associated with many muzzle brakes. For low-light shooting, defensive use, or training, it's one of the best-performing flash hiders available.
When paired with a SureFire SOCOM suppressor, it also delivers one of the most important characteristics of any suppressor mounting system:
Repeatable return to zero.
Removing your suppressor for transport, maintenance, or storage—and reinstalling it later—is a completely normal part of ownership. A quality mounting system should return the suppressor to the exact same position every time with minimal point-of-impact shift.
The SureFire SOCOM mounting system has earned its reputation for doing exactly that.
