Surefire is known for building some of the industry’s most rugged and reliable suppressors on the market. The RC2 and RC2 mini are the benchmark other suppressors manufacturers try to meet. Over the years, the RC2 series has been trusted by SF operators, law enforcement, and civilians worldwide for its unmarried performance. The company looks forward to continuing that lineage with its next generation of suppressors. Surefire proudly announces the next generation of suppressor technology, the SOCOM RC3.

The SOCOM RC3 is Surefire’s next-generation suppressor that will feature a low back-pressure (LBP) design. The engineering team at Surefire took decades of experience in innovation with materials and manufacturing techniques to conduct the most extensive flow-through dynamics study to date. This new design allowed Surefire to create a suppressor that has 60% less toxic gas back into the shooter’s face when compared to the RC2. The new LBP design eliminates explosive flash from the first to last round, reducing the shooter’s signature even more. The new RC3 reduces sound, flash, and dust signatures from a shooter for increased warfighter survivability and a more pleasant shooting experience.

Below are the product description and features of the SOCOM RC3 from Surefire.
