SureFire’s Barry Dueck Demonstrates Factors in Judging a Combat Suppressor

Thursday, March 5th, 2020

SureFire VP of Suppressors and Weapons Barry Dueck, and SureFire Director of Product Management for Suppressors and Weapons Cody Carroll, go over the famous USASOC Operator Suppressor System Durability Test to show us what factors to consider when selecting a combat suppressor.

SureFire’s philosophy has always been that durability, signature reduction, accuracy, repeatability and sound suppression are the most important factors to consider when evaluating a suppressor design for combat or duty use.

For this demonstration, they use the SureFire SOCOM556-RC2 suppressor and a competitor’s low back-pressure suppressor.

Titan Retention – Retention Straps Now Compatible With Zip-On Packs

Wednesday, March 4th, 2020

Titan Retention recently introduced zip-on pack compatibility for their weapon retention straps. Zip-on Packs are now standard for armor carriers. Plate carriers like the JPC 2.0, Eagle Tactical Ultra & Low-Vis, and Eagle MMAC all offer a zip on rear pack option. Until now, Titan’s retention straps would interfere with zipping on a rear pack unless it had PALS webbing on the outside, which many do not. For operators that utilize a zip-on rear pack, they now have the option to run the Titan Strap without compromising the function of zipping on a rear pack.

They did this by laser-cutting their retention straps to route through the zipper cutouts that the cummerbund straps use. The loss of strength from the cutouts in the webbing is negligible. The 1.5″ zip-on specific strap retains 1200lbs of break strength and the 2″ version retains 1425lbs of break strength. The full width of the webbing where it contacts and retains the user’s weapon is preserved meaning no loss in retention capability.

We spoke with founder Dylan Dille and he had this to say, “It’s really important to us to not interfere with how the operator prefers to run their kit and this new option opens the door to a lot more kit configurations.”
