Surefire SOCOM 556 or SilencerCo Saker?

Post by rmbstyle »

So I am just about finished with my 18" SPR build and want to choose a suppressor for it. I have narrowed my choices down to the Surefire SOCOM 556 RC and the SilencerCo Saker 5.56. Anybody have any experience with these and what would you recommend? I am looking for minimal POI shift.

Thanks

Both have very low POI shift. You can't go wrong with either one. The Saker has significantly better mounting options.

Saker 762 with a 556 endcap and direct thread mount.

Best minimal POI shift AND quieter than the saker 556.

Saker - or in a month or so Dead Air - they have a lighter mount than the Saker line and replaceable/change end cap feature as well
