SOCOM Suppressor Now Available for Civilians

Thursday, January 23rd, 2025

The SURG556 was developed to meet the unique needs of global special operating units. Designed to exceed customer specifications for accuracy, durability, reliability and signature reduction, the SURG556 was proven to excel under the harshest, most demanding operating conditions. Consumers now have the opportunity to purchase the suppressor tested to the stringent mission requirements of the U.S. Department of Defense.

The SURG556 is an Inconel Steel core high flow suppressor. This unique Forward-Flux multi-flow path was the genesis of SIG SAUER’s Next Generation line of suppressors. The internal geometry reduces gas blowback, keeping the shooter’s face out of irritating gases and minimizing fouling in the firearm.

The direct-thread SURG556 is shielded by a detachable titanium hexagonal heat shield that lowers the suppressor’s thermal signature while increasing maneuverability. The heat shield reduces the likelihood of contact burns when in dynamic situations.

Designed for strength and durability, the SURG556 is full auto rated, and purpose built to handle the rigors of machine gun fire while providing maximum signature reduction.

Verified, proven and selected by SOCOM, the SURG556 is now available to consumers who want nothing but the best.

Key Features:

• Mission-Tested High Flow Suppressor

• Detachable Titanium Hexagonal Heat Shield

• Forward-Flux Technology

• Monolithic Core Construction

• Integrated Flash Hider

• Direct Thread 5.56 NATO

• High Temperature Cerakote

• Inconel Steel

American Suppressor Association Issues Statement of Support for Hearing Protection Act Reintroduction

Saturday, January 18th, 2025

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, the American Suppressor Association (ASA), issued a statement of support for the introduction of the Hearing Protection Act for the 119th Congress by U.S. Representative Ben Cline. 

“The Hearing Protection Act is the epitome of commonsense legislation. Law-abiding citizens should not have to pay a tax to protect their hearing when they exercise their Second Amendment rights,” said Knox Williams, President and Executive Director of ASA. “The American Suppressor Association applauds Rep. Cline for his leadership and willingness to fight for the rights of gunowners across the United States. We look forward to continuing productive conversations with members of Congress and the incoming administration to ensure the best policy outcomes for the suppressor industry and entire gun-owning community.”

The Hearing Protection Act would remove suppressors from the burdensome requirements of the National Firearms Act (NFA) and require purchasers to pass an instant NICS check, the same background check used during the sale of long guns. This change will make it is easier for law-abiding hunters and sportsmen to access these hearing safety devices. Congressman Cline’s bill is an enhanced version of the HPA introduced in every Congress for the last decade. The legislation includes a technical change intended to clarify which part of a suppressor must be marked with a serial number. 

Background

Suppressors have been federally regulated since the passage of the National Firearms Act of 1934. 

In order to purchase a suppressor, prospective buyers must live in a state where suppressors are legal, send in an application including fingerprints and passport photos to the ATF, pay a $200 transfer tax, notify their local Chief Law Enforcement Officer (CLEO), and wait an indeterminate amount of time for ATF to process the application.

Using the same science as car mufflers, suppressors help reduce noise pollution, allowing hunters and recreational shooters to be good neighbors and good stewards of the environment. 

Often referred to as “silencers,” suppressors are widely misunderstood by the public due to this misnomer. A suppressor only reduces the sound level of a gunshot to 110-120 decibels, about as loud as a jackhammer or ambulance siren.

Private suppressor ownership is currently legal in 42 states, and hunting with a suppressor is legal in 41 states.

• Has minimal to no point-of-impact shift between suppressed and unsuppressed.

• Does not interfere with the vision of pistol sights.

• Offers comparable sound suppression to conventional pistol suppressors.

• Easy take-apart design for cleaning.

“The FDP Suppressor model is a uniquely capable suppressor that we are excited to bring to the US market,” said Sean Murphy, VP of Product Management. “After we signed the partnership with Fischer Development to bring their design to the US, we found a few design changes needed to meet US regulations. We are excited to have an approved modular mounting system so that users can customize their suppressor setup to fit their preferred host. Work is already underway for additional adapters that fit other popular pistol platforms.”

Availability and Ordering

The FDP Suppressor and its launch adapters will be available for pre-order starting February 2025, with shipments commencing in April 2025.
