    Three prongs flash less and the only ones I'm aware of that bent were some Vortexes from a bad lot of steel in 2002 or so.

    If the new Surefire SOCOM Series suppressors and adapters were good enough to win a SOCOM contract, I doubt I will have any trouble with them.

    The SOCOM series of suppressor/mount beat out (IMHO) the best suppressor on the market (KAC QDSS-NT4) before it in the test.

    There's probably a reason for it.

    I'm dying to see how this compares to the KAC MAMS system in the future.

    ETA: I recall being told that the KAC QDSS-NT4 was in the SOCOM test. I'm assuming that this is true.

    The Silencerco Saker is a compelling new rifle suppressor which is about to be released. It didn't exist when that SOCOM competition began a couple years back, so it obviously wasn't represented there. It has some interesting design elements that I'm very impressed with. It will be 5.56 only at first, but they say they're already working on a 7.62 Saker. I don't know how it will perform yet, but Silencerco is always highly competitive.

    One of the unique features of the Saker is a modular mounting system. There is a mounting module to fit Silencerco's own flash hider, and there will be other modules available to fit other companies' mounts, including Surefire products.

    The last thing the military needs is a modular mount for a can. Not excited about the Saker, I haven't figured out why everyone else is.

    The NT4 was state of the art in its day but now it's got an outdated locking system, a low efficiency flash suppressor for a mount and it's a half pound too heavy.

    I know why the Saker's got my attention, and as far as I can tell, a lot of the community. It is actually going in new directions, as opposed to simply reiterating the same old designs that have been around for decades. I couldn't care less about meeting military requirements when it comes to my personal suppressors, but a threaded, replaceable endcap is a great feature that SF and company haven't brought to market.

    But the NT4 is still shorter, quieter, and potentially longer lasting than most of them.

    Don't forget that the Triple Tap brake (while extremely expensive) is arguably the most effecient muzzle brake on the market while producing one of the lowest flash signatures out there. (Until you get carbon all over it.)

    I had the privilege of being the first civi to try the 556RC. Solid as a rock and no gas up the nose.
