Ahh I see. My fault, sorry.

The wait begins! Picked one up from Silencer Shop and I'm looking forward to updates!

Yeah, I know. I was wanting to hear responses regarding the previous gen Socom compared with other suppressors. The new version is supposed to be 1-2db quieter and I'm assuming that they achieved this without increasing blowback. The Sandman S when mounted was solid, no wiggle at all, and I wanted to hear from anyone that may have used the Sandman and a previous gen Socom and get a comparison on the mounting systems since the Surefire hasn't changed for the RC2.

I have the Surefire SOCOM556-RC and I've also attended a Dead Air demo day and in my personal opinion the Surefire is a much more robust unit with a mounting system that locks in place the first time everytime and is rock solid after a simple twist of the locking mechanism.
I'm not sure why Surefire found a need to come out with a RC-2 because mine has had zero problems and a reduction in 2 decibels is barely discernible to the human ear.

Thank you for your reply. I'm going to do my best to patiently wait for my suppressor.

The RC2 is made with more efficient automated processes, read-- faster and cheaper, while making the welds stronger. They took the opportunity of the redesign to improve the geometry of the endcap regarding first round flash, added a practical strike bezel, and apparently found a way to further reduce backpressure without losing sound suppression.

Anyone know if there is a reduction of FRP? If so this would solve my only small gripe with the otherwise perfect SOCOM cans...

I haven't seen anyone who would know mention it, so I assume that means no. Does it seem greater than other comparable cans?

on all of our testing the SOCOM cans do not have a FRP with the ammo we use (mil ammo mostly). It records the data pretty even of 1-2 dB across all the shots. (3 ten round samples). The new SOCOM2 series does have new technology and something really good is coming down the pipe line at the end of the month.

I've not noticed a FRP on my SOCOMS, however the testing videos I've seen such Silencer Shop's it did have FRP (so that is what I based my statement on). Anyway we can have a hint as to what is coming at the end of the month?

I heard that the RC-2 will be shipping with a Warcomp. Is that true? Found the answer, nevermind.

I'm looking forward to the end of the month!!

Thanks K!
