WHEN WEAPON LENGTH MATTERS
The SureFire SOCOM556-MINI2 Fast-Attach® suppressor is a shorter, lighter version of SureFire’s SOCOM556-RC2, the most advanced 5.56mm rifle suppressor ever made. The full-length version was selected by US Special Operations Command as first among all competitors in the most extensive and rigorous suppressor evaluation in history, which covered all aspects of suppressor performance, and also received the USSOCOM official safety verification in support of fielding. With an overall length of just 5 inches, the SOCOM556-MINI2 is 1.2 inches shorter and 2.5 ounces lighter than the SOCOM556-RC2.
Constructed of advanced high-temperature alloys and stainless steel, it features advanced internal venting to reduce back pressure, reducing the suppressed cyclic rate and gas blowback on the operator. The new design also includes an integrated blast shield in the back section, increasing durability. First-round flash is nearly eliminated, a true technological breakthrough made possible by SureFire’s patent-pending front-plate design and proprietary gas-flow dynamics improvements. This suppressor also attenuates noise and dust signatures to an unprecedented degree. A new indexing system means it securely mounts to a SureFire muzzle brake or flash hider even more solidly than our previous models. It is easier to remove after extended firing since the index tab is in a low-carbon buildup area. Like all SureFire Fast-Attach models, the SOCOM556-MINI2 produces minimal, consistent shift in point of impact compared with an unsuppressed weapon.
The Surfire 556 SOCOM Mini2 is available in black or flat dark earth Cerakote colors. It is rated for use on barrels 10.5″ or longer. The SureFire Socom 556-SB2 is rated for barrels less than 10.5″.
CAPITOL ARMORY’S OPINION
The SureFire SOCOM556-MINI2 is designed around a few fundamental principles—flash suppression, low backpressure, and, most importantly, the most compact size possible. At only 5″ long, it’s one of the smallest 5.56 suppressors on the market. The MINI-2 is best utilized when decibel reduction is secondary to flash suppression and maintaining a small weapon size. While it drastically reduces the muzzle report, the RC2 is better if raw suppression is desired and length is not a concern.
